BMW designer Chris Bangle has taken a lot of flak down the years. His style is much like an embat­ tled politician who knows what brickbats will inevitably be head­ ing their.way.-:^ Bangle stood in the firing line and


took the heat for the 7 Series, the 5 Series, the 6 Series; the 2^4, the X3 and the 1 Series. At every press launch, he encountered hostile ques-


I I tioning from people who didn’t ‘get’ * the styling. ‘


I was:one of;them. As time goes


by, it’s easier to see what Bangle was trying to achieve and the 1 Series is


perhaps the most extreme shape of the lot.


f- It always.'looked a little too


hunched for my tastes, the five doors giving it a busy, truncated look, yet with a front engine and rear wheel drive platform, there exists the scope for something very sleek. . A partial solution comes with the


m m


introduction of this three-door vari- , ant which plays the sports hatch card a little more convincingly. : .


Although the. three-door body-


shell possibly offers a degree more . stiffness, if you’ve driven a five-door ; 1-Series you’ll know broadly what to expect.

..good for a sprint to 60mph of 10.1 seconds and a combined fuel econo­ my figure of 48.7mpg. Then comes the 118i with 143bhp


and 0-60mph acceleration of 8.8s. If you want a little more from your petrol engine, opt for the 1201 that develops 170bhp and offers sparky performance figures of 7.8 seconds to the 60mph benchmark. The 130i is seriously rapid, the 0-60mph sprint takes 6s and th e '


; 155mph limiter will come into play . if you continue to press on but don’t expect much more than 30mpg. Unless you’ve got an aversion to


the black pump, the real standout performers in the 1 Series line-up are the four 2.0-litre diesel engines. The 116d has 116bhp and 64mpg


economy while the 118d develops ’ 143bhp and yet . will still return an


average of over 60mpg. and get to 60mph quicker than the petrol 116i. - ■ •The star of the 1 Series range r e - '


’ mains the 120d,'a 177bhp turbodie­ sel that will get to 60mph in just over


■ 7.6 seconds and still return 57.6mpg. Better still is the 123d with its 204bhp performance and 7s 0-60mph sprint underpinned by 54mpg economy. Designed to compete in the com­


pact'executive sector, the l Series might be truncated in length but spend any time behind the wheel and you’ll soon realise you’re not ' being shortchanged any of BMW’s

the tasks of steering and deploying the power is distinctly sub optimum in terms of outright handling. How many Formula One cars are front wheel drive? Exactly. Where front wheel drive has tra­ ditionally scored is that it’s easy and

transmission tunnel running through the cabin so it works in terms of packaging too. Clamber into the back of the 1 Series three-door and you’ll find less room than in a super­ mini like a Honda Jazz. .....With - a sk-footer behind the

the bigger wheels, the rigid sidewalls of the run-flat tyres don’t do a great deal for ride comfort. For the same reason, the firmly-suspended Sport trim level isn’t the one most would


choose on typically bumpy British roads. At the top of the range, mean­


while, sits the M Sport model with its lower spoilers and sills, bigger alloy wheels and M Sports suspension. Elsewhere, BMW haS changed


some of the equipment and detail­ ing. The .1 Series now features an Automatic Start-Stop function to cut fuel consumption, Brake Energy Re­ generation to reduce alternator drag . on the engine, and a revised kidney


grille to improve airflow to the en­ gine. : There’s also a lower front spoiler

. the ground and the rear lights have been re-profiled. The 1 Series has a reputation as a premium product and if you’re look-


grade to the 17-inch alloys. Although • the car does look a bit beefier with


: ing at models like the 120d and the 1301, they’re certainly not cheap. What’s less well known is that the


118i or the 118d can be yours for


less than .the price of a half-decent Volkswagen Golf and they feel a whole lot more special than any main­ stream hatch. About the closest thing in terms of boutique feel is probably the Alfa Romeo 147, but this lacks the 1 Series’ impeccable balance. The BMW 1 Series has established


itself as the enthusiast choice in this sector but the price of owning the best driving machine-is owning a car that looks a little frumpy. Yes, the basic shape is getting a bit


easier on the eye as Chris Bangle’s vi­ sion swims into view but it’s only with the launch of this three-door variant that the One gets.that added visual kick that will persuade younger buy­ ers out of their Audi A3s. It’s by no means a cheap car, espe­


cially when choosing an engine that can really exploit the fundamental rightness of the chassis, but if you can swallow the upfront cost, ongoing bills are comparatively modest. This IS


a car that offers so many


possibilities. I’m just biding my time in case BMW announce a three door 135d. Now that would be some­ thing...
