You Can Be The 1

You Can Be The 1

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2016-07-29
Driving the BMW 1 Series left me somewhat elated and a little confused. The 1 Series BMW is no small car, the power, handling and general performance of the 1 Series I drove left me wondering how BMW do it.

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.
