Second body variant was added to the new BMW 1 Series and made its world debut at the 2012 Leipzig Auto Show. The F21 1 Series three-door hatchback underscores the compact model’s sporting characteristics; Sporty, elegant design dynamic handling.
The F21 features wide doors with frameless windows that flow seamlessly into the B pillar. Powerfully contoured side panels accentuate the rear wheel arches. A side sill line extends to the front, underscoring the dynamically stretched character of the vehicle’s silhouette.
Same as the five-door variant, BMW offers the F21 1er in the Sport and Urban Lines, along with the aggressive-looking M Sport Package.

A choice of two or three seats respectively at the rear is offered. Luggage compartment is increased by 30 liters to 360 liters.

UGLY and DISGUSTING! That’s all I can say. No wonder no one is buying this ugly thing. Te new 1 Series has been on the market for almost a year and I see about 3 on the road a week. Compared to the launch of the previous 1 Series, this is a disaster… and you wonder why BMW is losing market share to Audi like crazy. Well they are just digging their own grave, by allowing these pathetic designers to design such disgusting cars. NOT ONE PERSON I HAVE SPOKEN TO HAS SAID THIS CAR LOOKS NICE… NOT ONE! This says a lot for BMW. You may have a car that is nice to drive, but who wants a car that people hate to see.
DOUGHNUT the Golf the Audi R BLAND the 1 series still looks the most INTERESTING DOOOOOOOOOD get a grip you dont have a monopoly on TEAST wake up I am an architect what YOOOOOO DOOOOOO DOUGHNUT clean toilets clean cars pack shelves gardening suck up to someone bigger than U shut it you we PERSON.
Hate 2 C ya bawbag
You guys think it is ugly, but with Xenon light and the right rims I think it’s a pretty decent looking car. With an M-package I would definitely lease one.
The 1 series I have just bought metallic bronze YES the one above (Commmment) LOOKS marvelous dew to its unusual colour high spec 18 inch alloys DOUNUT is eating his shorts I would think LOL
Second generation BRILL
