BMW Australia has released details of a substantial revision with increased value to its popular 1 Series hatch range, starting from July production.
The revision includes an increase to the standard specification, revised pricing across all variants, as well as providing an repackaged and simplified option programme.
According to Phil Horton, managing director for BMW Australia, every aspect of the BMW 1 Series hatch offer has come under review to ensure we are able to provide the best possible product to our customers.
“This revision has resulted in over $5000 of added value for the 1 Series hatch, in some cases much more, which means the entry point into the BMW brand has never been better value,” says Horton.
Each BMW 1 Series hatch model has received an increase to its standard specification with the 116i, 118i and 118d now equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The higher powered 125i and race-inspired M135i will receive the eight-speed sport automatic, with launch control function, as standard fitment.
Further additions to the standard specification for the entry point 116i include an upgrade to sensatec upholstery and rear park distance control.
Whilst the 118i, 118d and 125i also receive the upgraded sensatec upholstery, the standard equipment for these models is further boosted with a new navigation system including a high resolution 6.5” screen and iDrive controller, as well as extended smartphone connectivity including voice control and bluetooth audio streaming.
Furthermore the 125i will also come equipped as standard with the 18” double spoke styling alloy wheels and sport line, which boasts sports seats for driver and front passenger, sports leather steering wheel, and exclusive high-gloss black trims for the exterior and interior.
The range topper for the 1 Series hatch, the M135i M performance car receives the biggest uplift in specification coupling the afore mentioned eight-speed sports automatic transmission, which improves fuel consumption and performance, with front and rear park distance control, navigation system with integrated touch controller function and internet functionality.
