European BMW 1 Series Coupe Offerings

Diesel Powered BMW 120d 123d  - Brochures below

This November in the UK,  BMW will be releasing two diesel powered coupe versions in the 1 series line as well as the gas powered twin-turbo 135i.  This will add to the existing 4 door hatchback models that were previously available.

Diesel  coupes are not planned for the US roll-out of the 1 series line but depending on demand, it could be a future option.  I hope that we can get the fuel efficiency of the BMW 120d in the US market soon. 

2008 BMW 120d Coupe

The 1 Series entry level model is the 2008 BMW 120d. It's 1,995cc four-cylinder engine produces  177hp  and a zero to 60 time of 7.6 seconds.  This fuel efficient model get and estimated 59 miles per gallon.

The photo on the right is the 120d four door hatchback model being used for an Italian wedding in Rome.  The 2 door coupe will be slightly longer than the existing 4 door model shown.

2008 BMW 123d Coupe

The next in the European 1 Series line is the 2008 BMW 123d Coupe. The 204hp four-cylinder engine in the BMW 123d Coupé sets a record for small diesels. Its 1,995cc engine is the world’s first all aluminum diesel to have an output per liter in excess of 100hp. It is also the first four-cylinder production diesel to come with twin-turbo technology.  The BMW 123d will have an estimated fuel efficiency of 54 miles per gallon.

BMW 1 Series PDF Brochures

Here are three different BMW 1 Series brochures that are offer to BMW customers outside the USA.  Obviously the 128i Coupe and 135i Coupe are missing for now, but the brochures give you a good idea of the look and feel of the car.  Enjoy the photos and the information and as soon as the BMW North America brochure is ready, we will have here for downloading.

And you can also look at the BMW 1 Series Accessories catalog  from the UK.
