was told yesterday that the 1 series is coming to the states in about a year or so....i would love to have one after seeing them all over the place in germany and italy a couple weeks ago.
The model will be powered by a 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower inline 6-cyinder engine that generates 200 lb-ft of torque, the 128i Coupe will feature Valvetronic valvetrain management and aluminum/magnesium construction—core elements of BMW’s EfficientDynamics. The powerful 135i Coupe features BMW’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and an incredible 300 lb-ft of torque from as low as 1,400 rpm.
I'm not sure if this will be available in the US, but in Europe, there will be a 123d - It's a twin-turbo 2.0 litre diesel engine, producing about 204hp. Its the first 4-cylinder diesel engine in the world to produce more than 100hp per litre.
