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 love seeing BMW taking progressive steps towards efficency. Unlike GM and other American car companies... BMW actually walks the talk...

GM/Ford what do you have planned for 2014??

Better be pullin something outa your arse

keanu1 · 01-31-2010, 05:34 PM

the esign is very nice, but they need to change the headlights!!! They look ok on the Gt , but on a small hatch ....

positiveions · 01-31-2010, 05:53 PM

they need that entry level segment to compete against the likeness of Audi A1

You mean like the Chevy Volt?

derekL · 01-31-2010, 06:21 PM

its funny how even this has more aggressive headlights than the 1 series..

Scorpion · 01-31-2010, 06:25 PM

Liking how it looks, I'd definitely roll one.

npd2983 · 01-31-2010, 06:29 PM

This car is a perfect balance of sporty and cute. Wow.

Hope it can come out as an electric or very peppy hybrid/diesel or hybrid/gasoline car.

If it has some alt energy drivetrain it will carry a cost premium that would put it in the lower range of traditional BMW prices (despite the small size).

remmib · 01-31-2010, 06:34 PM

I gotta say, looks pretty cool.

Jaguar66 · 01-31-2010, 06:42 PM

!

Taymaishu · 01-31-2010, 07:13 PM

It may be here to compete with the A1/A3...

But it sure looks like an Audi to me.

Kiemyster · 01-31-2010, 07:18 PM

i thought this was why we had a 1 series 5 door version, so they dont have to go invest in building a new car?

DASHOCKER · 01-31-2010, 07:45 PM

I'm not a hatch guy but this looks pretty hot!

Xelloss · 01-31-2010, 07:45 PM

If BMW made a hatch looking exactly like that, they'd have a winner no doubt. That would definitely be a great and affordable supplementary car to the weekend cruiser.

graider · 01-31-2010, 07:56 PM

it's a golf body with bmw badge, LOL

thats what i was thinking too

04cbm3 · 01-31-2010, 08:33 PM

not bad, but i personally would rather bmw focus on making a "super car" instead of of another hatch back

BMWBMW · 01-31-2010, 08:35 PM

I would buy this in a heartbeat...

Berduderunner · 01-31-2010, 09:04 PM

I'd rock it any day!
