BMW 1-Series Coupé (07 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 29 October 2007 Last Updated: 16 January 2009 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. 4.5 out of 5 Other BMW reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4.5 out of 5 Audi TT Coupé (06 on) Sleek styling, surefooted handling, superb build quality, classy interior, TDI available Excellent 2.0 TFSI makes the V6 seem pricey, tiny rear seats, expensive options Read full review 4 out of 5 Alfa Romeo Brera (06-10) Stunning looks, wonderful interior styling, decent luggage space, lovely V6 engine Not quite as good to drive as it looks, cramped rear seats, boot awkward to access Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Volkswagen Scirocco (08 on) Unique styling, sharp handling, refined ride, excellent TSI engines, available with a diesel Boot awkward to access Read full review Find other coupe cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
