The BMW 1 Series looks just like a BMW, only smaller. Its shape, its interior, its leg room, and even its trunk make you think of a much larger car. But unlike larger BMW’s, the 1 Series starts at less than $30,000.
In the Coupe, American drivers will have their choice of 128i and the 135i. The 128i is powered by a 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower inline 6-cyinder engine that generates 200 lb-ft of torque.
