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. An aluminum double-pivot front suspension,
and a five-link, fully independent rear suspension made of lightweight
steel further hone its lightning-quick responsiveness. Even in the most
slippery conditions, BMW’s Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) helps keep
the 1 Series Coupe stable and going in your intended direction. Optional
Active Steering automatically adjusts your steering ratio based on
vehicle speed, for more immediate control at low to medium speeds,
and more stability at highway speeds. The BMW 1 Series Coupe: born
to perform.
