BMW 1 Series Coupe
The 1 Series Coupe is available with two diesel engines: 120d (177 hp) and 123d (204 hp) and two petrol 135i, with 306 hp and 125I (218 hp). The latter option is new within the range.
It is on sale from € 30,900. In other words, is some 1,100 € more expensive than a five-door 1 Series with the same engine and a very similar equipment.

The reasons for choosing this car, compared to a 1 Series with a body of three or five doors, have to do with the look of your body, or the possibility of mounting the gasoline engine of 305 hp, which is very good and that within the 1 Series, is available only with the bodywork Coupe or convertible.
Another reason for choosing the Series1 Coupe is perhaps easier to drive in difficult conditions that a Series 1 with a body of three or five doors. In any case, the difference is very small and hardly noticeable.
1 Series Coupe retains the dynamic characteristics of any other Series 1, which is a suspension rather tough and a high stability, especially when asphalt is not deteriorated. Also noteworthy was the good performance of their engines.
The interior of the Coupe is no more spacious than others Series1. In fact, over a Series 1 with gate, the collapse of the roof of the Coupe remains precious few centimeters tall free, people will notice that from 1.75 m, and in addition is only approved for four seats.

The trunk itself is larger than that of any other Series1, but it is more difficult because you have to stick bulky cap rather than gate. From series, supported by the rear seats of the Coupe are folding.
We have thoroughly tested the 123d version that has a diesel engine of 204 hp. It is one of the cars diesel power with this enhanced relationship between consumption and benefits. The 123d is a very fast car and with which they can make a normal highway driving or highway spending slightly less than 7.0 litres/100 km, which is very little to its power.
However, this may be the best alternative for bodywork Diesel Coupe is the 120d of 177 hp. The € 2,700 which costs over the 123d, 120d I seem hardly justified by superior performance but that only come to the fore clearly under certain conditions, and since speeds not allowed in Spain. In addition, the 120d spends less than the 123d.
There are even those of the 177 hp 120d not needed. For them, one disadvantage of Series 1 Series Coupe over other 1 is that you can not have (at least for now) diesel and gasoline engines less powerful BMW.
The 1 Series Coupe measured just over 1 Series that the length of three five-door: 4,360 mm instead of 4,239 (121 mm). The height and width of the three bodies of the Class 1 are very similar.

The Coupe weighs only 5 kg more than the 1 Series three-door, equal engine and equipment. The drag is practically the same in all three bodies (0.63 square meters).
The aspect of all versions are equal. The exception is the 135i, which has a set number of ‘M’ which includes elements that change its exterior appearance and interior, wheels and adjusting the suspension (stiffer and reduced).
