An extensively updated line-up of engines and extended BMW EfficientDynamics technology ensure that the new BMW 1-Series model range once again sets new standards in its class by further reducing fuel consumption and emissions. BMW 1-Series customers will now be offered three- and four-cylinder power units from the BMW Group's new engine family. The new efficiency pacesetter in the brand's model range is the BMW 116d EfficientDynamics Edition with 85 kW/116 hp and average fuel consumption of 3.4 litres/100 kilometres (83.1 mpg imp) combined with CO2 emissions of 89 g/km in the EU test cycle.

As an alternative to the standard six-speed manual gearbox, there is the option of an eight-speed Steptronic transmission (standard in the BMW 125d, BMW 120d xDrive and BMW M135i xDrive). The latest version of the automatic unit now also offers transmission management supported by navigation data.
A 5 kW increase in output (to 240 kW/326 hp) from its six-cylinder in-line engine allows the new BMW M135i (average fuel consumption: 8.0 litres/100 km [35.3 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 188 g/km) to strengthen its position as the elite sports performer in the BMW 1-Series' competitive segment. Like the BMW 120d and BMW 118d, the BMW M Performance Automobile can also be specified with the intelligent all-wheeldrive system xDrive which, as well as serving the causes of traction and directional stability, also enhances the car's dynamics. The new BMW M135i xDrive (average fuel consumption: 7.8 litres/100 km [36.2 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 182 g/km) sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.7 seconds.

With their flat, dynamic geometry, the newly designed headlight units make a particularly prominent contribution to the sporty overall impression of the front end. The twin circular headlights of all the new BMW 1-Series models come as standard with LED daytime driving lights. The indicators are positioned in the outer area of their respective headlight units.
Full-LED headlights for low and main beam have been added to the options list for the new BMW 1-Series model range. They generate a particularly white light that is very close to daylight and therefore optimises safety when driving at night. Should LED headlights be specified, the indicators also use LED technology.
