BMW on Monday unveiled a new generation of its 1-Series hatchback, and the automaker's go-fast division, BMW M, already has a slew of performance parts ready. The latest 1-Series hatch is the sportiest yet, with its M135i xDrive variant offering up 306 horsepower from a 2.0-liter turbocharged...

BMW's 1-Series hatchback has been redesigned. Sadly, the new car drops the rear-wheel-drive layout of its predecessors.

The current BMW 1-Series hatchback is somewhat of an oddity in the world of compact cars, because it comes with a sporty rear-wheel-drive layout and available inline-6 engines. This is odd because the rear-wheel-drive layout eats into interior space, making an already tight cabin even tighter...

For decades the 3-Series has been BMW’s entry-level sedan but from today on that honor goes to a new notchback dubbed the 1-Series. The arrival of the 1-Series is no surprise as prototypes have been spied for over a year, and BMW even previewed the car in concept form in late 2015 (shown...

A prototype for BMW’s upcoming 1-Series sedan has been spotted yet again. Yes, after watching Audi and Mercedes-Benz have all the fun in the luxury compact sedan segment with their respective A3 and CLA, BMW now wants a piece of the action. As the spy shots reveal, BMW’s entry to the...

BMW's Predictive Gear Shift is unquestionably trick technology.

Last year, BMW broke with tradition by introducing its first-ever model with front-wheel drive, the 2-Series Active Tourer. Next year, the German automaker will do the unthinkable once more, this time by introducing a front-driving sedan. That sedan will be called a 1-Series, and it’s been...
