Hi!

I'm afraid no official pictures of the 1-series has yet been released. The car is due to be released in september of this year, if I am not mistaken.

Lets just pray for an M-version

BMW was set to reveal to the world its 1 Series at the Geneva Motor Show in early March, but we hear that debut has been pushed back to the Paris show in October. Regardless of its official unveiling, we have the first-ever on-road look at the little Bimmer, courtesy of our intrepid spy shooter who spotted this 1 Series undergoing winter tests in Sweden.

The car is slated for launch late this year with the five-door, shown here, first out of the blocks. A three-door will follow six months after that. An interesting feature seen in these pictures is the small rear hatch, making it look sportier than the Volkswagen Golf, one of its main competitors.

Power in Europe includes a variety of gas and diesel engines; there are no announcements yet on U.S. specs. Expect prices to be about 20 percent less than a 3 Series, putting it in the $25,000 neighborhood. Can a 2 Series be far behind?

Wouldn't the 3 door most likely be the 2 series following BMW's numbering?

I know about the snow last week in Rotterdam, but can you tell me about the spot these pictures were taken???

btw, get rid of the black stripes on the side of the car and you'll see the Z4 lines.
