BMW 1-Series Coupé (07 on) - Review

Entry-level BMW motoring gets the wow factor with the arrival of the 1-Series Coupe. It takes over the slot vacated by the popular 3-Series Coupe, which has moved further upmarket. It's not the best looking coupe around and lacks the svelte lines of alternatives like the Audi TT, but that doesn't prevent it from being great to drive - just like the standard 1-Series hatchback. Two petrol and two diesel engines are available but all cars come with BMW's fuel-saving Efficient Dynamics system, while performance is strong whichever model you choose. The result is a winning recipe that delivers the type of drive expected by enthusiasts in a distinctively styled package.
