The new 1 series looks a bit sportier than the previous one.
It basically looks like a lower X1 now.
With a few design cues from the current 3 series. (LIke that little chrome piece behind the side rear door window.)
These cars are actually pretty invisible in European streets. Nothing, except, for us Americans, (seeing the BMW grille on a small hatchback), makes them stand out in a crowd.
And this new generation does the exact same thing.
Now the grill is even larger than before, to make sure your neighbors know you bought a BMW I guess.
As usual, we are not getting this. It will stay in Europe to do battle with the A-Class hatchback from Mercedes and the upcoming redesigned Audi A3.
A new sedan version is supposed to be coming out next year, and that might be making it over here.
It looks like the 2 door hatch has been dropped.
Just like with the new A-Class and upcoming Golf...
