 BMW 1 Series - First Sight
Unlike the 7, 6 and 5 Series cars, the 1 Series does not have indicator lamps shrouding the top of its headlamps, or a bonnet surface that extends over the top of them as previous BMW designs had, which is the reason the car has a slightly startled, wide-eyed appearance.
The 1 Series is uniquely rear wheel drive in this class and has an aluminium front axle and a battery mounted in the boot floor (run flat tyres so no spare wheel) to help provide the 50/50 weight distribution (for the lighter petrol engine variants) that BMW strives for in all of its cars.
BMW are to produce approximately 150,000 1 Series per year (now not to be sold in North America), less than half the number of the 3 series sold in Europe and a little more than Audi typically sells of the A3 in Europe.

With its unique concept, the BMW 1 Series is intended to target customers who have always appreciated the practical aspects of previously available compact vehicles but have, until now, searched in vain for an automobile that takes into consideration their increased demands in terms of driving pleasure and individuality.

 2005 BMW 1 Series - BMW 125Ci Hatchback
It appears that BMW is pursuing a design promoting greater unification across their line.
Now apparent through the new 5 series, which some might argue to be a toned down version of the 7 series and the late to be released 6 series, the new design follows a very unique classy trend.
Along with the soon to be released BMW 2 Series, 2005 BMW M1, 2005 BMW M5, 2005 BMW X7 and 2005 BMW Z2, the 125 Ci will prove to be a difficult contender to other manufacturers.

But in marketing terms, as a BMW it is pitched more squarely against the likes of the AUDI A3, Mercedes A-Class and even the less expensive - but arguably more stylish - Alfa Romeo 147.

The 1 Series is typical of the current BMW-breed with a hundred different angles and curves all competing against one another.
