The new BMW 1 Series marks a significant shift for the brand, transitioning from a rear-wheel drive to a front-wheel drive layout. This change enhances interior space, particularly for rear passengers, while higher-spec models will feature all-wheel drive. The performance-oriented M135i will now utilise a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, achieving 100km/h in 4.8 seconds. The model introduces advanced technology, including a digital key and assistant, and will be available in Australian showrooms by year-end.
