SMG Umhlanga Has The 1

SMG Umhlanga Has The 1

Author: Tomas Yoko

Dispensing with the mundane and the ordinary, the BMW 1 Series brings with it innovation, superb styling and the most modern technological advancements to be found in any car, anywhere in the world.

Just looking at the body styling makes me want one, the typical BMW kidney grille and intense LED headlights, gives the car an expression that speaks of confidence and strength.

Speaking of the element of strength and I have to mention that BMW have equipped the 1 Series with their TwinPower Turbo technology power plants from their BMW EfficientDynamics range.

Then there is the 8-speed Automatic Transmission Steptronic gearbox, which can make your drive that much more sporty and exciting or that much more smooth and economical. Either way, having eight gears with close ratios, allows the 1 Series to achieve optimum power delivery in every situation. This gives the 1 Series the ability to be extremely economical without compromising the feel of the drive.

That is the basics taken care of, and more than adequately I must add. In getting the 1 Series to be so incredibly fuel efficient BMW have gone the extra hundred miles. The intelligent energy management system with ECO PRO works with a coasting function, route ahead assist and ECO PRO route, which works together with the navigation system to save as much as 25 per cent in fuel consumption. It is incredibly fuel-efficient with figures as low as 4.1 (3.9) in the series.

The new 1 Series from BMW takes things to the next level. The amount of state-of-the-art German engineering technology that has been crammed into this beautiful work of car art, is overwhelming. The BMW ConnectedDrive Driver Assistance system amazes me, the Active Cruise Control has a Stop & Go function that doubles my amazement and when it comes to the radar-based distance control and braking ability, I start to fall in love.

Test drive the BMW 1 Series today at SMG Umhlanga, visit their showroom and be amazed like I am, at 2 Wilton Crescent, Umhlanga Ridge. Call them on 031 502 9800.
