BMW TWINPOWER TURBO ENGINES.

Thanks to BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the innovative new generation of BMW petrol and diesel engines from the BMW EfficientDynamics engine range can deliver an agile performance and excellent responsiveness even at low rpms, all while being exceptionally fuel efficient and low in emissions. Increased efficiency and optimal dynamics guarantee noticeably more intense driving pleasure.
The petrol engines feature innovative turbocharger technology, Valvetronic fully variable valve control, including Double-VANOS variable camshaft control and High-Precision Injection. Together, the highly sophisticated components provide tremendous power delivery and improved efficiency. Turbochargers with variable turbine geometry and the newest generation of CommonRail direct injection are also combined in the diesel engines. This level of optimised combustion further contributes to lower fuel consumption and emissions.

8-SPEED STEPTRONIC TRANSMISSION.

The 8-speed Steptronic transmission sets new benchmarks in comfort and dynamic performance and is a key element of BMW EfficientDynamics. The unusually fine increments between gears facilitate optimum power delivery at all speeds. This reduces fuel consumption significantly, while allowing the driver to enjoy increased sportiness and dynamic performance. The engine speed is reduced, particularly at high speeds, which in turn reduces both fuel consumption and engine noise.
The converter clutch also helps – even if the car is in manual mode. Together with the fast engine speed transitions and precise transmission tuning it guarantees incredibly smooth gearshifts.
Integrated functions such as predictive drive train and the constant monitoring of the vehicle's movements and the traffic situation considerably affect the way the transmission shifts gears. Regardless of the current driving mode, the system always selects the most suitable gear. The transmission control unit is linked to the navigation system, so depending on the route, the predictive drivetrain switches between a more athletic, responsive setting (SPORT mode) and a more comfortable setting with fewer gear shifts (COMFORT mode).

100 % SPORTY.

The M Performance model BMW M135i is the sportiest BMW 1 Series variant in every respect. Features such as variable sport steering, M Sport suspension or Adaptive M suspension further boost driving dynamics.

  • Variable Sport Steering
  • M Sport Suspension
  • Adaptive M Suspension

ECO PRO MODE.

The ECO PRO mode helps drivers reduce their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent, depending on their driving style – according to an internal BMW fuel consumption study. The coasting function (only in conjunction with Steptronic transmission), the route-ahead assistant (only in conjunction with Navigation system Professional) and ECO PRO route (only in conjunction with Navigation system Professional or Business) make it possible to save a further five percent.

INTELLIGENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT.

The intelligent energy management in the BMW 1 Series is provided by a number of standard-feature BMW EfficientDynamics technologies, including the Automatic Start/Stop function, Brake Energy Regeneration, Electric Power Steering and Optimum Shift Indicator. The interplay between these technologies ensures sustainable mobility and maximum efficiency.

  • Automatic Start/Stop Function
  • Brake Energy Regeneration
  • Electric Power Steering
  • Optimum Shift Indicator

BMW xDRIVE.

The intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system adapts perfectly to even the most challenging road surface conditions, ensuring optimal traction at all times. xDrive and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) ensure that the BMW remains perfectly stable in its track. Controlled via the DSC sensor, xDrive flexibly and quickly distributes drive power between the axles in order to prevent oversteer or understeer from developing, thereby ensuring outstanding directional stability. In critical road conditions, the DSC doesn't need to intervene as much. BMW xDrive combines all the advantages of an all-wheel drive system – traction, directional stability and driving safety – with classic BMW agility for even more driving pleasure.
