When is the new shape 1 series being released?

[feo]

I've seen videos of it on BMW's Youtube channel, when is it coming out in South Africa?

Also can't wait to take a hammer to one, eh? It's the most god-awful looking thing BMW have yet come up with... I mean, look at it:

If you really need to know, CAR Magazine normally has a fairly accurate indication of impending launches in their 'New Models' section...

 

[satanboy]

looks cool to me

The rear of the new BMW looks like the new Polo with a few more indentations and curves.

Just before year end.

But it is an epicly ugly machine in my opinion.

Even worse than the first one

I'm definitely not a BMW fan but I must say I like the look of the 1 series as well as the old Z3 based M Coupé.

Z4 is also Ok.

Check out this fail move; BMW actually put up a poll, on their own website, to compare the new 1-series to the Audi A3.

Guess which car got the most votes.

Wahahahahahaha

That fail is made of pure win

Well, I voted

 

[Ono'rach]

And why are they comparing a brand new model with an old facelifted model?

Well, the Audi is still less offensive to look at regardless of its age. I didn't think I'd see the day that a BMW looks like a mutilated Polo from the back.

The Audi is definitely way less offensive. As for the back of the new 1-series; looks like a Mini and a Polo made really ugly babies

I actually think that the A3 has aged extremely well; it is still a hot car in my opinion

Well technically not BMW but the oke who owns that site, no affiliation.

Touche.

Still, the site owner is a BMW aficionado; was a bit disingenuous of him to put up such a poll, especially after the initial reaction to the 1-series design.

For BMW's sake, I hope that they're taking note.

Holy moses, that backside looks like an 80s estate that recently had an altercation with a minibus taxi. It's the little ginger kid of the BMW fleet. With acne. And glasses.

Even the people in this photo are laughing at it:

 

[mic_y]

mmm, agree with the guys... back looks way too much like a polo, and the front reminds me of the A1... meh, never been a fan of the 1 series before this, and def not a fan now...

 

[Polymathic]

Reminds me of Jay Leno for some reason
