BMW is facing very hard days and it is not able to make much money on the 1-series. This particular brand is capped in its higher price range due to competition with the 3-series. It has the same features and technology and is almost the same size as its larger brother. To solve this problem BMW is planning to reduce its production costs but at the same time having extra features in its next 1-series which is due in 2011 or 2012.

Engines and fuel efficiency will also play a vital role in the next-gen 1-series. The  Europeans will get an all-new 3 cylinder turbo petrol unit which is rated at an approximated 110hp (82kW). The new engine plus its new technology which can be applied to the 116d’s diesel engine, will allow more models for lesser CO2 emissions under 100g/km.
