Exterior 06 | 07 DESIGNED TO DELIGHT, MILE AFTER MILE. The BMW 1 Series Coupe melds classic BMW design elements with notable performance touches. Four dazzling light alloy wheel styles complement the powerful silhouette. A long hood, distinctive shoulder line, short overhangs and trunklid spoiler underscore its sporty attitude.
08 | 09 Exterior YOU AND THE ROAD. ONE. Only BMW could endow the 1 Series with the precise engineering and performance innovations worthy of “The Ultimate Driving Machine.®” It starts with classic BMW rear-wheel drive and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution for balanced handling when accelerating and braking on straightaways and in turns.
Exterior 10 | 11 A STUNNING REFLECTION OF ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN.
Exterior 12 | 13 YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY SEE SOME OF THE BRIGHT IDEAS THAT WENT INTO THE SERIES COUPE. Look into its eyes – the Corona headlight-rings that function as parking lights and identify the 1 Series Coupe as a BMW. They circle the Xenon Adaptive Headlights that turn night into day with brilliant illumination, and swivel to show what’s around the corner as you turn.
Exterior 14 | 15 EVERY BEND IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REDISCOVER THE JOY OF DRIVING. The more sinuous the road, the greater the reward of driving the 1 Series Coupe. This is where the value of a BMW’s rear-wheel drive and nearperfect 50/50 weight distribution, extremely rigid body and precise steering come into play. Curving roads, steep hills and wet weather conditions set the stage for BMW’s Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system to shine.
Exterior 16 | 17 It’s difficult to take in the dynamic beauty of the 1 Series Coupe at a single glance. There’s the power of its aerodynamic silhouette and athletic stance. The fluid motion of its lines and contours. The way the compact body blends into the long front hood, creating the impression of irresistible forward motion. And the unmistakable design elements, such as the twin-kidney grille, signature Hofmeister kink, striking shoulder line and short overhangs, that say “pure BMW.” A SCENIC WONDER.
Interior 18 | 19 THE 1 SERIES AWAITS YOUR COMMAND. Whatever your point of view, the BMW 1 Series is a treat for the eyes. Inside the driver-oriented cockpit, gauges and controls – accented with the glow of galvanized pearl gloss trim – are strategically positioned for intuitive sight and reach. All driving functions are easily accessed by controls arrayed around the three-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel.
20 | 21 Interior GET IN – AND GET WITH IT. From the two-way glass moonroof above to the plush carpeting below, everything in the 1 Series Coupe thoroughly embodies BMW style, comfort and luxury. The eight-way adjustable front seats with twoway headrests can be enhanced with a host of optional features, including power adjustment with four-way lumbar support; elegant Boston Leather upholstery; and a choice of genuine wood or aluminum interior trims.
Interior 22 | 23 THE ONLY PLACE WHERE FUN TAKES A BACK SEAT. Even your back-seat passengers can enjoy the spirited performance of the 1 Series Coupe. The front seats are designed to allow easy entry and exit from the rear cabin. The two ergonomically engineered, 60/40 split rear seats are as practical as they are relaxing: when you need more cargo-carrying space, the seats can be folded forward individually to extend the trunk area.
BMW EfficientDynamics 24 | 25 THIS IS HOW MUCH HAS GONE IN. AND THIS IS WHAT COMES OUT. At BMW, we create dynamic vehicles that thrill you with quick acceleration, predictable handling and unshakable control. We are also busy finding innovative fuels and technologies that help preserve the environment while delivering legendary performance. This is what we refer to as “EfficientDynamics.” This goal led to the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogen-powered engine in the BMW Hydrogen 7 Sedan.
Engine 26 | 27 Torque (lb-ft) Power output (horsepower) Output (horsepower) Torque (lb-ft) Engine speed (rpm) Portrait of an engineering masterpiece: The 135i TwinPower Turbo engine produces 300 hp at 5800 rpm, and quickly develops 300 lb-ft of torque at just 1200 rpm, which continues, without fading, to the 5000 rpm range.
7-Speed Double Clutch Transmission (DCT) 28 | 29 DOUBLE CLUTCH TRANSMISSION: INSTANTANEOUSLY TRANSLATING POWER INTO PERFORMANCE. All the horsepower in the world is useless – unless it can be quickly, smoothly and efficiently transferred to the road. The BMW 135i Coupe’s 300 horsepower is put to work with eye-opening speed via the optional 7-speed Double Clutch Transmission (DCT).
ACTIVE STEERING: FOR THE PERFECT BLEND OF STABILITY AND AGILITY, WITH FLUID PERFORMANCE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. BMW engineered the 1 Series Coupe’s lightweight chassis to perfectly harmonize with the engine and transmission. So as soon as you start driving, you’re aware of how well it reacts to the road – with precise steering, agile handling and lack of vibration and noise.
32 | 33 Safety Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) helps to stabilize a BMW in just milliseconds when it senses an impending skid. If the system senses over- or understeer, it modulates engine power and can apply brakes individually to help keep the vehicle under control and going in the intended direction. For sportier driving or in deep snow, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) allows increased wheelslip. In the 135i Coupe, DSC is designed specifically for performance-oriented driving.
Safety 34 | 35 The 1 Series Coupe’s extremely stiff passenger cell, safety-belt system, driver and front passenger airbags at front and sides, and Head Protection System front and rear work together to help provide excellent protection in an impact. Please note: These pictures of airbags are for illustrative purposes only. Depending upon the type of accident, none, some or all airbags may deploy. SAFETY IS ALWAYS NUMBER ONE IN THE 1 SERIES. Not all collisions can be avoided.
BMW ConnectedDrive 36 | 37 All drivers sometimes need to stop and refuel. Let a BMW Assist Concierge locate and send the address of your preferred gas station and the best local restaurant to your BMW. When an upcoming service need is detected, your BMW automatically transmits the relevant information to your BMW Service Advisor, who then contacts you to arrange an appointment. Select not only the fastest, but also the more interesting roads to reach your destination.
