		<description>1.  Sleeker more aggressive headlight design with eyebrows. Instead of a smooth line as the bottom border of the headlight, maybe incorperate a smoother version of the additional double half circles as the lower borders more akin the look in the e46 M3, and facelifted e38 7series. This could also allow for larger halo rings.
2.  Enlarged outlet for the rear diffuser between quad exhaust for more aggressive look in rear.
3.  Door handes that follow more in the line of the car and pull from underneath (more like the z3 or e38 7series again) vs. door pulls the jut out of the body for a slicker look.
4.  A Longer or the illusion of a longer hood to familiarize with the style of the new z4, 5series and 7series.</description>

		<description>-More muscular fender shape
-Lower roofline.  The current stance is screwed up by the high roof, making the car look cartoonish.
-Redo the front fascia to give it a more masculine appearance.</description>

This little car is so perfect allready, that I wouldn’t change a lot.

The things I would like to see, would be more aggressive headlights. Nothing borrowed from other BMWs, something unique to the design!

And, how about a lower roof line – just slightly. It should accentuate the sporty stance</description>

Slimmer headlights (to give it less of a big eyed look), grill tilted from the top outer more like the 80’s style BMW’s. the rear windshield should flow more into the trunk instead of the more angeled look.</description>

		<description>As much of (or really a lack-there-of) a fan as I&#039;m of the new BMW designs (as can be attested for by my input on the 7 series redesign), the 1 series has actually been pretty well designed. Don&#039;t get me wrong, there should be some changes made cosmetically.

1. Dual or the possibility of quad exhaust.
2. I would like to see the e39 m5/e46 m3 side mirrors to get rid of the crease in mirrors.
3. A (modest) 1in drop all around.
4. A very slight &quot;eyebrow&quot; for the lights.
5. Black &quot;Shadow&quot; line trim for around the windows and kidney grills.
6. 6000k angel eyes.
7. Get rid of the horizontal line in the intake for the front fender, replace with the black mesh found in the &quot;center intake&quot; on the fender.
8. Make the front portion of line above the side skirt angled slightly more down instead of up, for a more aggressive feel. You can make an intake for the rear brakes on the side skirt but that&#039;s something you&#039;d find more on the performance packaged 1ers.
9. The center tail/brake light should be placed in the top center of the rear wind shield (where it belongs)
10. switch around the design of the tail lights so they&#039;re a 2 piece design (like the 3 series), this will add to a lower/wider looking car and could also make the trunk lid&#039;s vertical line straight instead of bending at 90 degree angle.
11. The only change to the rear bumper (like I said before) is dual/quad exhaust for the rear diffuser.
12. Make the rear lip spoiler a little more noticeable; nothing huge just enough for more people than the average car enthusiast to recognize it. Something between what&#039;s currently on it and what&#039;s on the tii prototype.
13. Like I said on the 7series redesign: if you can by this car, you can most probably by a set of rims that you want. But I would really like to see the 18 performance rims on the car; either the 5-double spoke rims or the 10-double spoke rims.

I think that&#039;s all for now, I&#039;ll be looking forward to seeing the designs!</description>

		<description>I think the headlights should be wider and sleeker ( maybe LEDs) and be more stretched along the bonnet, making the bonnet longer. 
 The door mirrors should include the indicator lights running all along the mirrors. 
  It should have the current BMW nose, as used on the new 7 series and X1.  
 The rear should be more like the X6, and have LED rear lights and  rear parking sensors and a rear mounted camera.</description>

		<description>The thing I really missed on the 135 was the dual exhaust to better differentiate from the lowly 128.  

bumping out the fenders never hurts

make the fascia slightly less upright looking from the profile, rake it a little more and in the same vein re-imagine the headlights to look less cross-eyed.</description>

		<description>Added by &quot;klier&quot; and &quot;just_me&quot; on GCZ:

Definitely keep the bath thub design. Add larger grille with shark nose effect, maybe sqare-ish Angel Eyes without the plastic cover in front of the headlights, like the old school Bimmers..

The car only need more aggressive headlights other than that its perfect.</description>

		<description>Posted by &quot;shonguiz&quot; on Germancarzone:

Ok so i start, everything that needs to be changed in the 1er is in the front, in fact you have to change 3 main things
1. headlights - the two circles should be bigger and more spaced to use the whole headlights inner surface, while the blank-turning signal area should be stripped down.

2. Make the whole front cut much more upright and clean

3. The grill should be incorporated to the hood.</description>

<p>Ok so i start, everything that needs to be changed in the 1er is in the front, in fact you have to change 3 main things<br />
1. headlights &#8211; the two circles should be bigger and more spaced to use the whole headlights inner surface, while the blank-turning signal area should be stripped down.</p>
<p>2. Make the whole front cut much more upright and clean</p>
<p>3. The grill should be incorporated to the hood.</p>
