Refreshed 2015 1-Series being announced tomorrow
This is very strange to me. I thought the 2 replaced the 1... and now they are announcing a new 1?

So it appears as though it's going to be a MINI with a BMW body. I don't know about the FWD, though. I understand they need to compete with MB and Audi, but there's just something about a FWD BMW that doesn't sit well. I do miss my MINI but what I don't miss about it is bump steer and torque steer. It's nice to have a tossable car like the 228 without those two "features".

It's just the facelift/LCI 1 series hatchback...same platform as the 2 (and actually came a couple of years before it...)

Pretty sure there's absolutely no chance that the US market is going to get the hatch. We're going to get the FWD sedan 1er based off of the UKL platform.
Though it does look like the unveil is for a refreshed 1er for the other markets. |
