BMW will use the Detroit auto show in January to launch its revised coupe and convertible 1 Series models.
Although marginal cars calculated as part of the baby Beemer range's total sales volume, the soft-top and coupe 1 Series models are important style symbols for BMW's entry-level offering.
The new 1 Series styling tweaks are minamal though and will only be notable to serious BMW brand anoraks.
First off, redesigned head- and taillights enhance the coupe and convertible's illumination signature with finessed LED integration.
Then there is a new aerodynamically refined front bumper (called the 'Aero Curtain') and splitter combination that harmonise to reroute airflow around the front of the car via two ducts, reducing drag and thereby lowering fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The level of efficiency gained is so negligible though, that on certain new 1 Series coupe and convertible models (the 125- and 135is) there is no reduction in CO2 emissions.
Beyond the LED embedded lights and 'Aero Curtain' bumper two new colours - Vermillon Red and Marrakesh Brown – are to be introduced as part of the 1 Series coupe and convertible facelift.
Buyers who fret obsessively about customizing their BMWs with individual wheel options will be heartened to note the availability of three new alloy wheel designs; two 17-inchers (in five- and multi-spoke configuration) and a V-spoked '18.
