Post #1, and post #14.

Any answer to my question, mate?

What was the question?

Yes, CELIS LED strips (now across all BMW model line!) for rear postition / driving lights. Other lights are regular bulbs (while eg rear turn signals on E60 have LEDs).

Thank you so much, Eni!

The 1er is now one absolutely stunning car... It was before as well, but now even more of course.

Thx to everyone for videos,they are soo stunning..Redesigned 1er is one of the most beautiful "little cars" around,even the Audi A3 can´t touch it.. !!
Now all we need is an M version .

EnI...can you please also answer these questions if you know...

1. Will the 1er 3Dr be cheaper than the 1er 5dr?
2. Will it have a 2+2 seating arrangement?
3. Will it have the 5er's 2.3 engine with 197hp?

Thank you :

I'd rate it about equal with the pre FL.

EnI, one question. Does BMW plan to carry the 335's twin turbo six into the 1er? Or the 335d engine?

If i recall good what Eni said, i think there will be 135i, but i'm not sure for 135d though...

No 135i/d I think.

1. Comparable 3dr models will be cheaper (eg. E81 120i vs E87 120i). But all depends on particular equipment packages in specific markets.

2. E81 will have standard 2+2 seat arrangement, yet 2+3 arrangement will be a free option.

3. Yes, a version with around 200PS will be offered. But I'm not sure about its availability (at launch, or a bit later). We'll have to wait till press release next week to find more.

4. No 135i / 135d as of yet. Could come later especially due the lack of M1 - yet it depends what the competition will do (eg. Golf R36, RS3, ...).
