Youthful design: my style

The design of the new car speaks of a young look – the car body connects smoothly with the coupe-like roof line, delivering an elegant and dynamic exterior harmony. The higher bonnet and trunk lid gives the car a chunky stance and powerful sporty appearance, while the three-parted air intake in the front apron is also uniquely featured only on the BMW M models before. The newly-designed hexagonal LED headlights provide significantly improved illumination of the road during night time or in bad weather conditions. With the striking and inspirational L-shaped taillights working together, the all-new BMW 1 Series Sedan visually looks highly dynamic and cool.
