kplsoleil · 01-31-2010, 12:12 PM

According to: http://translate.googleusercontent.c...FPcWqVtzWLhAJQ

According to the rough google translation, Auto Motor Und Sport is reporting that BMW is expanding its lineup with 2 small models in 2014.

Ones a "Mini" BMW car that is going to compete with the Mercedes A class and upcoming Audi A1. It'll have a 3 cylinder engine good for 90-170 hp and will have hybrid variants.

The other is what the mag is calling "BMW City / Mega City" and is being developed under Project i, BMW's city car and super efficient car program. It's 4 meters, seats 4, is lighweight, powered by 167hp/250tq electric engine which has range of 160km. This car will have a two seat version as well.

i'm gonna be honest, i kinda like the BMW hatch. Not a bad design in my book. Needs a little touching up but not too bad.

This design>Most hatches (VW's)

Trier Germany · 01-31-2010, 03:45 PM

When will BMW offer a 1 series hatch in The U.S market?

bluespeed117 · 01-31-2010, 03:48 PM

im gonna be completely honest. That looks so awesome. The rear bumper needs a little touching up but other than that its fine.

sufu · 01-31-2010, 03:50 PM

yes, this is what many people can afford and buy.
BMW is going toward a right direction by building more efficient cars,
however we will see more BMWs on the road now..

CPI · 01-31-2010, 04:03 PM

That looks pretty nice!

lol

Looks to me like they started with a GTI and slapped BMW'ish front and rear ends on it...

But I dig it too!

SRT14PimPin07 · 01-31-2010, 04:14 PM

It looks like a shrunken down X6 to me.

bmwaddict · 01-31-2010, 04:15 PM

the headlight sound like the new 5 series

BRAISKI · 01-31-2010, 04:32 PM

Looks good...

Agreed, but it does look awesome.

I'm surprised that its gonna be a 2014 car....seems like they have enough of it done to be a 2012 car.

Is this gonna be coming to the North American market?

Malbolge · 01-31-2010, 05:00 PM

id buy one of those, especially electric car unless it costs like 3 series (which it might).

Ahh I was about to say the exact same thing. This is just a chopped GTI with the wheels off of the 1er electric.

MCMLXXXIX · 01-31-2010, 05:26 PM

haha thats an awesome rendering! looks great

BMWI6 · 01-31-2010, 05:34 PM

Awesome!!!, slap a 2 liter direct injection turbo motor with 240hp, keep it under 30K and teens and old folks alike will be lining up at the front doors of BMW dealperships.

pokerface · 01-31-2010, 05:35 PM

I guess they had to replace the Z4 Coupe somehow...

CATCH_M3 · 01-31-2010, 05:48 PM

Hm It doesn't look bad at all. But how will it affect BMW's 'premium brand' image?

MrHarris · 01-31-2010, 05:58 PM

I think it looks great. Make the rear end slightly more aggressive, and provide a performance model w/ more "M" bits to it.

mastermayhm · 01-31-2010, 06:03 PM

sexy

amdmaxx · 01-31-2010, 06:11 PM

Small Hatches are awesome.
Hope they make a diesel one, or a diesel hybrid..
