A few days after BMW->ke178 announced the 1 millionth production of the BMW 1-Series->ke313, BMW is getting even more publicity for the car as the series' next-generation gets closer and closer to being unveiled.

We've seen the new 1-Series in a number of spy photos and videos but we never seem to get tired of discovering the latest one, which, incidentally, just so happens to be today. In this new video, the still-to-be-named was captured doing some lap runs at a racetrack, further adding fuel to the fire that the next-generation 1-Series is indeed finally upon us.

Details behind the car are still subject to speculation but from what we've gathered, it looks like it's coming with an engine similar to that of the BMW 135i. But until BMW comes out with official tech specs for the car, we'll withhold any judgment on it. For now, we're keeping our expectations on the safe side.
