You Can Be The 1

It all started for me with the attention grabbing body contours of the BMW 1 Series test car parked on my lawn. Gaping air inlets hinted at an engine that wanted to breathe freely, and once I had pushed the start button I knew I was in for a ride.
I can't say there was a throaty roar from the BMW EfficientDynamics engine, but the sound of the TwinPower Turbo motor satisfied the boy racer in me.
With all the traffic circles in my neighborhood I had ample opportunity to test the BMW petrol engine's ability to provide power at low revs. As I turned out of the circle I pressed down on the accelerator and time and again I was impressed with the excellent responsiveness I experienced. The wide track made the cornering very comfortable and stable and on the open road the 1 Series felt smooth as silk.
You will love the way this car behaves and the fuel consumption will only add luster to that attraction.
