BMW 1-Series Hatchbacks: First Look
European-only cars for the moment, these are the rare BMW models not sold in the United States. That's because the BMW 1-Series tends to be smaller and cheaper than the BMW brand cares to sell here; in Europe, their combination of BMW appointments and thrifty three- and four-cylinder gas or diesel engines makes them an easier sell. There is that whole M135i with 326 hp, but history shows getting the hot stuff over here can be a real fight.
