Its edge over other hothatches is the front mechanical diff. BMW did well fitting one across the range.

I don't think it's fit on the whole range. The torsen diff is present only on the M135i.

Schnitzer Parts, the 1 series does not take so long to convince me in its line and in everything but the FWD, but that's how things are, it looks magnificent.
So I'm still young and extroverted?

Maybe an M135iS? I just don't see an M1 although I would like to.
There is a just a lot of evidence saying that it will not become a reality.

BMW needs a M140i to compete with the A45 AMG and new RS3, so it makes sense.

Totally, I do not understand what the complication is, more tune to the same engine (+- 400HP), keeping them a little below the power of the M2, call them M140 / M240 GC or with the "S" at the end and ready, those two you mention must have a competitor of BMW

VW Golf vs BMW 1-series vs Ford Focus (2020) triple test review

Doesn't re-write any rulebooks – it's just a fun, practical and desirable hatch. Like a Golf, but better.

While no patch on the A-class in terms of design, the 1-series hatch is far more pleasing on the road than the ugly POS called the 2-series GC.

That review makes me want to drive the new Golf. It appears to be a very accomplished car.

Not bad....

I think they really messed up the C-pillar on this generation. Old design was much better.

F40, the new Honda Civic?

F40, the new Honda Civic?

Good analogy, it looks quite spectacular, when you see it in those photos something like that comes to mind, of course this one has good taste, it is even younger than the previous 1 series, but the Civic is even younger, but they have that air

The new one series in terms of look is much nicer than the previous generation .the only thing that i am not sold about is the front end .

 

[hovabongZA]

Front end of the F44 2GC and the rear end of the F40 1er would have made this car quite a looker.

 

[hovabongZA]

The rear of the 1er is it’s best profile.

According to many here, with the front of the A class, the profile of the A3 and the rear of the Golf, the 1 series would be a looker

I like how it is and I do not find any problems more than when the joined grill is in black on black, it is not noticeable that they are two kidneys, but it is easily solved with another trim

 

[CrunchSlaughtered]

The rear is not bad indeed.

The Civic looks like it was designed using LEGOs.
That's why it's designer walks with a limp. He stood on so many barefoot.
