Recently, the last BMW 1-Series (F20) in Leipzig, Germany, was officially launched, marking the end of the rear-drive BMW 1-Series, which has produced a total of 424111 units in the eight-year product cycle. The last rear-drive BMW 1-Series is a 120d diesel version with a maximum power of 188hp. Using the classic Etosland metallic paint and M sports kit on the car's front windshield, BMW marked it with the words "Vielen dank f ü r 424111 mal leidenschaft am autobauen", which means "Thank you very much for these 424111 passions".

Although the market popularity of the current BMW 1-Series is very good, BMW has to give up the complex front and rear drive design in consideration of car-building cost, space and other factors.

The new BMW X1 was officially unveiled at the BMW Future Summit on June 25th. The new car is based on the new FAAR front platform and will have more body size and interior space.

According to the data, the BMW X1 sold 9746 units in May, accounting for 18.77% of the manufacturer's share, which is not bad.

As the most powerful car in the new car, the new BMW M135i xDrive is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 306hp, a peak torque of 450Nm, an eight-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system. The new BMW 1-Series, which loses its classic in-line 6-cylinder engine and rear drive, will no longer launch a three-door version in the future.

Although the market popularity of the current BMW 1-Series is very good, in today's increasingly fierce competition, considering the car-building cost, use space and other factors, BMW has to give up the complex front and rear drive design. use a relatively simple front drive.

And the new generation of BMW 1-Series, whether from the configuration, interior decoration, technology and other aspects, have been fully upgraded, the overall sense of luxury is also better than the cash model. Although a large number of upgrades have been carried out in places where they can be seen, it is a pity that the new model has lost a lot of things where it can not be seen.
