BMW 1 - NUMBERS - ACROSS THE POND
Two GoodCarBadCar features merge to compare and contrast the BMW 1-series.  This smallest-of-all current BMW's generates a lot of opinion; divisive and passionate. That started with the X Coupe (seen left) which BMW debuted as a concept years ago  For those of us on the left side of the Atlantic Ocean, diesel 1-series derivatives aren't available.  Europeans see every possible 1-series engine, from the 113bhp (and even more torqueless) 116i to half of today's comparo, the 301bhp 135i coupe.  Yowza.  Here are your Numbers from Across The Pond.
