BMW 1-series coupe coming to America


It's official that the BMW 1-series is coming to the US. The US version will be a coupe, not a hatchback, and it will have the 2 biggest gasoline engines, not the diesels. An Autoblog article covers the release pretty well. Apparently the 3-series was getting too big, and there was a need for a little sports coupe reminent of the 2002. So, bring over the 1-series, and hopefully it'll be a big hit. I'm really hopeful that BMW will be bringing over diesel engine choices soon. A second introduction of cars with diesel engines has begun, and hopefully Americans latch onto them as hard as they have in their big pick-ups. Bring on the 50 mpg clean diesel cars!
I'm getting really excited about taking delivery of our 120d. We finally placed the order and it should be coming in toward the end of July. :)
