BMW To Drop #1 Series

Even if you never attended BOCES or don’t have grease under your fingernails, chances are you’ve heard about BMW’s 3 and 5 series line of cars, but a 1-Series? BMW has created this new series of affordable beamers destined for the US market as early as Spring ‘08. But don’t let that 1 fool ya, as this thing still comes well stocked:

The 1 Series Coupe will come in two variants. The 128i will be powered by a perfectly capable 3.0L 6-cylinder engine, producing some 230 horses and 200 lbs-ft of torque. The more powerful 135i will get its umph from a twin-turbocharged 3.0L inline-six good for 300 horsepower and 300 lbs-ft of torque.

There’s no word on the actual price yet, but being an this will be their new entry level model, even we’ll be able to afford it.
