2012 BMW 1 Series Launch Review

13th November 2011

The Urban Line interior might not be to everyone’s taste. The gloss-white exterior highlighting on the grille, wheels and rear diffuser lip, is repeated inside on the centre console and dash highlights.

It comes with cloth/leather combos off the shelf, we had black leather.

We didn’t much care for the white surfacing – neither inside nor out (it looks like it got sent to the wrong dress-up shop). That said, the white splashes add a breezy air and will no doubt appeal to buyers looking for something a little different.

The 320d Touring comes with standard 17-inch alloys, fog lights and integrated roof rails. The interior sports the usual fare of climate-control air-con, leather trim, and multi-function centre console including i-Drive.

The excellent six-speaker stereo has a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity but no iPod dock. The multi-function steering wheel carries audio and phone; cruise control and trip computer sit on separate controls.

Options are heady and huge – our test car had the $8700 M Pack with sat-nav, 6.5” colour monitor, anthracite headliner, M door-sills, M light-alloy double-spoke wheels with run-flat tyres, M aerodynamic package, moonroof (another $3080), park distance control ($700), metallic paint ($1840) and a host of other goodies.

Details of pricing for the new Z4 have been released for the North American market, and they’ve risen substantially over the previous model.

Oddly enough, the new pricing structure puts the Z4 on level ground with the Porsche Boxster, which BMW claims isn’t a competitor.

Under the hood is a new 4.0-liter V8 that has already been explained in detail in a previous post. To summarize a bit, it makes 420HP and reach its maximum power at 8300 rpm, abit more before revving all the way to 8400 rpm. He makes a couple of 400 nm is reached as low as 3000 rpm, which is incredibly low for such an engine revving high. 85% of peak torque remains available for a wide range of 6500 rpm. This 105hp per liter engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with integrated oil cooling, and a lot of inertia optimized dual-clutch. Of course, the difference that sets 335i and M3 from each lock variable M differential, which transfers power to the left rear to right rear wheels up to 100% on every page, ensuring optimum traction.
