| 2011 BMW 1 Series Coupe |
Despite being the entry level BMW 1 Series is available with petrol engines of the same line-6, like the BMW 3 Series. This means that the 2011 135i gets three new direct-injection inline-6 with its unique twin-scroll turbocharger. While this engine has the same 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque than the outgoing twin-turbo inline-6, the couple is now even before, and the most important fuel economy has improved. In fact, the 135i is far more efficient than the 128i with 230 horsepower naturally aspirated port injection inline-6.
Also new for 2011 version of the 135th is an optional dual-clutch automated manual transmission BMW calls the DCT. Like the 335i, M3 and Z4, this transfer is interactive, with the driver, who is sharp and rewarding than the manual, but is so intuitive and fluid to change the automatic.
In fact, the 2011 BMW 1 Series is quite expensive, but given its powerful engine, sports car handling style and lack of other small, rear-wheel drive with which to compare, it is difficult to say that 1 is too expensive. In fact, no car really aligned with the 128i and the 135i as a competitor to apples to apples, although the Audi TT, the Hyundai Genesis 3.6, the Infiniti G37, Nissan 370Z and American muscle cars in the same order the court and could cross-shop against the convertible convertible Mini Cooper and the Volkswagen Eos.
In general, be reduced to the kind of small coupé cabriolet or want. BMW 3 Series is an obvious alternative clean too, and at the same time, the 1 Series is an alternative for three reasons as there are certainly more than the cost of BMW to pick up the baby on his older brother. So if someone starts hitting one, make sure to remind you gently that provides sports personality, solid construction and individual character that make a BMW a BMW agile.

However, most of the controls are straight-line standards BMW's playbook and are easy to use. The seats are very basic lack of support, given the performance potential of this car, it is advisable to make all of sports and sports seats with manual excellent. The convertible option of sun reflective leather did an incredible job of keeping their part of the toast.
If you check the option of hard-drive navigation, the infamous iDrive interface comes with it. Do not worry, though, because this latest version has more buttons and a much improved menu structure. In fact, reinventing the iDrive has risen to the top of the classification of these interfaces.
While the BMW 1 Series is technically four-seater with rear seats are much narrower than the 3 Series Coupe, so they are best left to the load, or those of smaller stature. Coupe decent-sized trunk can hold 13 cubic feet of convertible luggage is 8.5 cubic meters remaining, when the top is stowed.
Guide
