The marvelous next-generation BMW 1-Series has been seen driving around in Munich, Germany yet again. Though the car is still covered in some very odd swirlies, we can see that the basic shape hasn’t changed a whole lot. For those of you who are keen BMW buffs, you will have noticed that this is a five-door model. We have only ever received the coupe and convertible in the U.S., so chances are we will not be seeing this five-door over here any time soon. The headlights appear to be sloped back and stretched along the top of the fender, similar to what we see on the 5-Series. It’s also clear that there is a wider grille that has been pushed forward, like most of BMW’s current sedans. In total, the new 1-Series seems to be taking most of the design elements from the new BMW models. Some sources have indicated that a new turbocharged motor might live under the hood. We hope that it’s the new N55 twin-scroll single-turbo, but one can never be sure at this time. We are going to assume that the car is still rear-wheel drive, not that anybody actually knows it is anyway. BMW did hint that they might make it a front-wheel drive machine, but it doesn’t appear to have happened. The car should be here around 2012. .

How can BMW not make a good performer out of this car when they did wonders with the original M-Coupe. What’s so hard about stretching the damn thing and putting a couple more doors on it?
