Curtains up for the new BMW 1 Series and the new BMW Lines. BMW Welt will be presenting the two characters of the new compact sports car from September 16th to December 30th in the northern section of the automobile exhibition in the Plaza. Visitors will be able to familiarise themselves hands-on with the features and innovations of the new models.

Now in its second generation, the BMW 1 Series is once again the epitome of driving pleasure, efficiency and premium quality in the compact segment. The new edition also features extended space and perceptibly optimised driving comfort. Exceptional sporty flair is guaranteed by the model's rear-wheel drive - unique in this vehicle category - as well its 4-cylinder engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology.

A powerfully expressive appearance is ensured by the sporty, elegant design and the new BMW Lines, which allow selective individualisation. Both the BMW 1 Series Urban Line and the BMW 1 Series Sport Line are unique in the compact class - guaranteed by such elements as the diverse range of BMW ConnectedDrive features including new systems now presented in the BMW 1 Series for the first time, including Speed Limit Info with overtaking ban display and lane departure warning with forward collision warning function.
