1 Series [Spyshots] BMW 1 Series F20/21 Facelift (LCI) Spy pics/renders/discussion

[SCOTT27]

What about these quotes from a couple of pages back?
The facelift will have a new front and a new rear, anything you guys would like to add?

Its kind of puzzling what's going on as there are regular and updated camouflaged cars running about Munich and At the FIZ. What is even stranger is that the older cars have no new engines or anything new to make awareness of early testing of these engine or drive train changes.

I have not even had time to confirm some rumours regarding changes that did not go far enough.

Fingers crossed! These updated LCIs have HUGE potential!
Finally something to love? It's been a while!

 

[bmwownage]

finally a 1series to love is probably a better question. While i don't find the A class a very good looking car, it is a much more spectacular "looking" car, something that BMW never was able to do, or never wanted to do with the 1series.
Maybe at first they did not plan rear end changes or even headlight changes? but realising the reality they knew they had to? this car is definitely getting sharper headlights and new tail lights.

If you look closely to the black 1 lci pic of the previous page it seems That The rear lights are in two parts à la golf ... And the bottons front of The vo one it seems That There is à radar maybe mire technological feature Like the 2AT ?

 

[bmwownage]

find it quite amazing how after all these leaked pics, none of the car mags or the like are doing CGI's.

 

[klier]

Leaked pics?

Or do you mean spy shots?

I think he means rendering of the 1lci facelift from journalists as we should be 3/4 months before launch

Once it became clear the LCI wouldn't get a major change and receive a front like the 2 Series, there really isn't anything interesting to report. Not much point in doing a CGI of what are minimal changes, and it doesn't really sell magazines.

It will get a major change. With new grille and new headlights AND new L shaped taillights.

 

[Mr Robert]

Yes, but we just learned that, right? Priorities had been set to other areas... or am I the only one who thinks these PS:gurus just sit in their caves making things up hoping to sell them?

 

[klier]

I am not so sure about that. Who says they changed?

Da Buzz!

 

[bmwownage]

yea sorry i meant rendering and spy shots.
the rear lights alone is worth some speculation thus rendering...

 

[Cabasse0]

Next génération of 1 series already testing but no lci unveiling Did someone has some information from his dealer mine saying nothing Before march 2015

 

[Mr Robert]

I have so high hopes for this LCI and this thread had so much momentum just a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Mr Robert]

So, I've been trawling the net (ha!) for two weeks and found nothing new. What's going on?

 

[klier]

It's been slow, they're probably keeping the car hidden as much as possible to avoid a drop in sales for the current version..?

And there's no reason to show much when the launch is still 6 months off.

 

[Betty Swollocks]

6 months off? I expect it to be launched at Paris.

 

[Cabasse0]

Rumours on other german website is that the car will be présented in first days of 2015 and available from march

 

[Mr Robert]

6 months off? I expect it to be launched at Paris.

That's what I had in mind...
