2012 bmw 1 series review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. More refinement and a new high-performance version. introductionthe bmw 1 series features improved aerodynamics and interior refinements for the 2012 model year, plus a high-performance 1 series m coupe has joined the lineup. the 2012 bmw 128i coupe and convertible models get a redesigned front fascia for improved aerodynamics along with new design accents around the headlight and tail light clusters. Inside, all 2012 bmw 1 series models have been updated with new switches and controls for a more refined look and feel. new for 2012 is the 1 series m coupe, a high-performance version that can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just 4. 7 seconds on its way to a ridiculously high speed, limited electronically at 155 mph. the bmw 1 series is the marque's smallest car, in some ways the spiritual successor to the bmw 2002 produced 1968-76 and in other ways the 320i that followed. They're available with 6-speed manual or 6-speed steptronic automatic. Bmw says the 128i can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7. 0 seconds with the automatic, 6. 4 seconds with the manual. the bmw 135i features bmw's newest 3. 0-liter inline-6, a single-turbocharged engine that generates 300 horsepower and 300 foot-pounds of torque. The bmw 135i coupe and convertible are available with a sporty 7-speed dual clutch transmission or 6-speed manual gearbox, which we found silky smooth and a pleasure to operate. A bmw 135i can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5. 4 seconds with the manual gearbox, 5. 3 seconds with the 7-speed dct. Fuel economy from the bmw 135i coupe is 20/28 mpg city/highway with the manual. a bmw 1 series convertible can drop its top in just 22 seconds. Top-down motoring is one of life's great joys, so this is a great feature. a bmw 1 series model is nearly seven inches shorter than a 3 series car. The 1 series brings bmw's highly developed rear-wheel-drive platform to compete with cars in the entry luxury coupe class that mostly use front-wheel drive. in many ways, the 1 series is nothing more or less than a scaled-down version of the 3 series, with similar looks, similar equipment and similar performance and handling. Indeed, it uses many of the same components and systems. The 135i is a smaller, lighter package with the same engine as the 3 series for a lot less money. The bmw 1 series was launched in the u. As a 2008 model, initially only as a coupe. we like these cars. They are comfortable; sitting in one is like sitting in a 3 series. Underway, they are sporty and agile, driver's cars, with the feel of rear-wheel drive. We found a 128i convertible is a delight and it has enough power. Most fun to drive is a 135i coupe. We recommend against the m suspension due to the hard ride. A 6-speed manual gearbox comes standard, a 6-speed steptronic automatic is optional (no charge). the bmw 135i coupe 39,050) includes a firmer sport suspension and high-performance brakes, m sport aero body kit, adaptive xenon headlights with washers, sunroof, gray poplar wood interior trim, and p215/40yr18 front tires leading p245/35yr18 rears. A 6-speed manual is standard the 7-speed dct dual clutch automated manual transmission is optional 450). the bmw 128i convertible 36,600) and bmw 135i convertible 43,800) are equipped similarly to their coupe counterparts, except they don't have folding rear seats or a sunroof, and they ride on less radical rubber. The 128i soft top comes with p205/55hr16 run-flat rubber front and rear, while the 135i convertible gets p205/50r17 run-flat tires. Both come with a fully automatic fabric folding top. The bmw 135i convertible does not have the coupe's body kit. A 6-speed manual gearbox comes standard on 1 series convertibles; the 6-speed automatic is optional on the 128i (no charge); the 7-speed dct is optional for 135i 450). the m sport package for the 128i coupe 2,450) and 128i convertible 2,700) comes with the increased top-speed limiter, m sport front seats, m sport steering wheel, aluminum interior trim, shadowliner trim, body cladding, sport suspension, and performance tires. The coupe also gets a black headliner. The m sport package for the 135i coupe 1,300) and 135i convertible 1,200) includes the increased top-speed limiter, m sport seats, m sport steering wheel, black headliner (coupe), shadowline trim, body cladding, and 18-inch performance tires. a premium package upgrades with leather upholstery, 8-way power front seats with lumbar adjustment, memory for the driver's seat and mirrors, bmw assist telematics service, bluetooth wireless cell phone link, auto-dimming power-folding exterior mirrors, wood interior trim, universal garage door opener, auto-dimming rearview mirror, compass, illuminated visor mirrors, and additional interior lights. The 128i coupe version also includes a sunroof. A convenience package includes rear park assist, keyless access and starting, steering-linked adaptive xenon headlights, and an alarm. A cold weather package 900) adds heated front seats, a trunk pass-through with a ski sack, and headlight washers. A sport package 1,300) for the 128i models includes sports suspension, sport seats, shadowline exterior trim, an increased top-speed limiter, and p205/50r17 front and p225/45r17 rear run-flat tires. Wood trim is available on the 128i 500) and can be omitted from the 135i (for no charge). the bmw 1 series m coupe 46,135) uses a twin-turbo 3. 0-liter inline six, a 6-speed manual transmission, m3 suspension, m3 disc-compound material, 19-inch light alloy m3 wheels, m variable differential lock, m dynamic mode, m button (selectable throttle mapping), m3 steering wheel, electronic power steering, 12-way power seats, black leather interior, alcantara trim, orange contrast stitching, xenon adaptive headlights, and rain sensor. The brake lights include a panic-braking mode that lights up the entire lens extra bright whenever the brake pedal is stomped hard. The federally mandated tire-pressure monitor is standard. walkaroundfor 2012, the bmw 128i coupe and convertible benefit from the air curtain, bmw's latest aerodynamic innovation. Introduced first on the 2011 bmw 1 series m coupe, the air curtain is now a standard feature on the 128i models as well. The air curtain improves air flow around the front wheel arches with the benefit of significantly reduced turbulence. The 128i can also be equipped with special aero wheels to further enhance the performance of the air curtain system. The air curtain design consists of openings in the outer section of the lower front fascia that route high-pressure air through ducts at each front corner. The ducts are approximately 10 x 3 centimeters wide and are designed to channel air to openings at the front of each wheel arch, where it is discharged through a very narrow opening at high speed. The escaping air stream covers the side of the front wheels like a curtain, thereby reducing aerodynamically unfavorable turbulence around the rotating wheels. Less turbulence means less resistance and better fuel economy. the bmw 1 series is short in the rear compared to the larger 3 series, but it looks good that way. It doesn't look cheap or cut.
