Each successive generation of BMW's iconic 3-Series has grown in size and price, leaving the door open for a new entry-level model. BMW has introduced the 1-Series coupe and convertible to fill that opening. When compared to the 3-Series, the 1-Series is about 9 inches shorter, 2 inches narrower and a couple hundred pounds lighter. The good news is that the same two six cylinder engines power the smaller car. A 230-bhp inline-six resides in the 128i, whereas a 300-bhp turbocharged version powers the 135i. A smaller car with the same power could make the choice between the two tough for prospective BMW buyers. Pricing starts at around $31,000 for the 128i, which is about $7000 less than the 328i, but options add quickly to the price. The 1-Series coupe is one of the best price / performance values on the market.
The 1-Series adds 135is models to the lineup. The turbocharged inline-six in the 135is has increased power and torque. The 135is is further differentiated with a different exhaust, unique wheels and a high-gloss grille.
