Whether BMW at UNESCO has requested already? Topic: the BMW 1 series as world cultural heritage. What right Carl Benz with the appreciation of his patent application is guardian of Hinterradantriebs in the compact class might finally cheap the people in Munich as a noble. Well, the false keyword cheap perhaps, already sold a million times first series of the BMW had 1er strongly appreciate their otherness. Design Christopher Bangle revolutionary was allowed to play really at it, aroused associations with the Hängebauch critters with the drooping sidewalls even for vegans. Due to the longitudinal built-in motors, knapp, but cut close to the body, formed the entry-level BMW persistent contrast to the monotony of transverse engine with progressiveness or all-wheel drive.

New BMW 1 series by nine inches grown the second generation sets again on the BMW standard drive, almost nine centimeters are new exterior, more technology and a tick more length more fund room inside, as well as an once again intensified marketing obendrüber. Indicator for this are the new optics lines urban move, as well as sport, competes with the BMW 120 d to the test. Makes extra 1,900 euros ever the 29.250 euro start price – in which the driver still to the PUR plastic steering wheel rim would have to access. We have it better, our car has pretty much everything from the collision detector sound system up to Xenon light, 51.400 euro makes the bottom line. Yes, remember what for, you don’t create no 14 percent return on investment with dumping, and on such a basis-1er is not too much deserved. But: Even of the rider Gets a return – in the form of driving pleasure. Joy, nothing else is 1 series BMW. Trunk Ausliterer, price foxes and guarantee fetishists may look somewhere else, Dieselknauserer not need that.

The BMW 120 d promotes not only with 184 HP and 380 nm on paper, but complemented them with even and burly power development and Rotary joy as well as proper savings potential in practice. With up to 1,800 bar arrives at the diesel on the solenoid valves, and in accelerating goes to somewhat grumpy two litre if necessary quite sparingly. In the partly dynamically completed test average 6.8 L / 100 km with the BMW are 1 series, but it comes already with less than five liters of neatly ahead – with the friendly assistance of regulated alternator, start stop system and the excellent eight-speed automatic, a wide spread of power (for 100 km/h sufficient 1,500 rpm) with narrow cracks. Even eco program is in the BMW 1 series fun and then there are the eco-Pro program. There you can find on the so-called driving experience switch on the center console and competes there with comfort, sport and sport plus. In sport the BMW moves closer noticeably 1 series to his pilots, similar to flirt, shortly before it comes to the clinch. Firmer damper setting, less servo on electrically supported steering, spirited throttle response, modified automatic switching points.

Who requires more distance, lies with the gentler “comfort” position correctly – or equal with eco Pro. Soft pedal characteristic, early upshifting and reduced air conditioning help in saving like the tips in the display. And who are strict: who to vigorously step on the pedal, visually to a lighter Gasfuss prompts including top-speed warning. Apart from that, more driving pleasure than other compact normal prepares 1er but even in the eco programme so a BMW. Still no desire, constantly driving around with Renate Kuenast in the neck? The whole eco spooky can deselect – with him but also the virtual bonus kilometers, you could blow later conscience for. What particularly eases 1er in practical tests with the sporty BMW. Even if the 18-incher of the test vehicle (40s cross section front and rear milks) fluffy unwinding stand in the way, the option chassis works with Adaptive dampers (1,100 euros) careful as the conventional of predecessor – including greater reserves on load and on serrated road surfaces. Where the old BMW came 1st in hard tasks in stress, according to specific steering correction required, remains the new on line. Cloud seven, there is no Dynamics without repentance always still for it. Moreover the BMW take up 1 series as compact unique luxury, to separate steering and drive. Ergo: no drive factors, as well as a very transparent feeling on the Gasfuss at the curve surfing. Cam slides, ESP and cross post jerk, abruptly is one with the BMW 1er coalescent, enjoys the suitable servo-assisted mechanical Active Steering with different interconnected handlebar. She responds as usual then direct to the middle position. So invades the BMW agile reached his g-spot 1er in curves, where he four corresponding engagement of the driver after a short period of sliding about all – easy now so if the 1, 5-ton grip builds, is neutral and then begins to push the stern. So loves the BMW community, buys them a hinterrad-driven small and enjoys own sometimes proper cross post on slippery slopes according to ESP position.

But the BMW 120 d dominates everyday life also. Front on ergonomic sport seats positioned, with a view to the complex instruments with new color display as well as the 8, 8-inch Center screen, create sound environment friendly cooling, sound processing, handle pleasant materials and the pleasant noise level. Apart from that, the BMW proves 1er that operation can be really fun. From the stereo system via docking via Bluetooth, Musikstreamen up to use the app and the online as well as Internet-features – interested without too long manual study get to everything. Above-average scarce legroom in the BMW 1 series in the rear the generosity of the BMW ends 1 series, although the Bavarians created there about two inches more room with the longer wheelbase. Is the standard seat space, so the leg room, one motor and sport measurements auto to the closest of the class. However, it can go two adults there without pantyhose and risk of thrombosis on overland journey. The volume of the baggage of the BMW 1 series (360 up to 1,200 litres) reached compact standard, the folding of the back runs effortlessly, the seats are not design, and under the trunk floor, the battery is waiting instead of extra storage space. Entry specifically difficult slightly backwards, who will look back from the C-pillars and limited, so order folding head restraints the small rear window (60 euros). Forward, the BMW linst 1er camera that can read signs, road markings register and watch Vorausfahrende. Vibrates the steering wheel at the left of the track, with drive dense to a first optical signal warns, at risk, it beeps. Both is however so late that the driver of the BMW fix must respond 1er, to prevent an accident. Given that the system while the brake pads easily create, but not autonomously delay. After all, helps the BMW solution, to avoid collisions and annoying in contrast to some systems of the competition not by false warnings. Would be too nice, when the river of the speed on board the sleek compact BMW would be disturbed by Gepiepse and alarm. What is the BMW 1 series the UNESCO title redlich – deserved if the successor would get no front wheel drive.
