Demonstrating pure performance and maximum agility, the BMW 1 Series Coupe raises the bar – as well as any driver’s pulse. Its athletic heritage is obvious: the long wheelbase, the muscular flanks, and the distinctive headlights make it clear that you are dealing with a serious performer. The two available cutting-edge engines demonstrate an exceptional power-to-consumption ratio unique in this class of vehicle. The high-revving inline six-cylinder engine in the BMW 135i uses advanced turbocharging technology and injects fuel at high pressure with extreme accuracy. BMW's innovative Valvetronic© technology allows the BMW 128i and 135i to breathe more freely, resulting in smoother running and a reduction in fuel consumption. Smooth 6-speed manual transmission is standard on both models, while a super-quick and highly-efficient dual clutch transmission is available as an upgrade on the 135i. Rear-wheel drive, combined with a near perfect 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution, ensures the direct handling and dynamic driving characteristics you would expect from a BMW. Rest assured that the BMW 1 Series Coupe will never fail in delivering The Ultimate Driving Experience.
