In mid 2011, BMW unveiled the 1-Series Sport and Urban Line models, both of which featured five-door configurations. But what about a three-door version? Well, that will be available too, only we’ll have to wait until sometime during the summer of 2012.
A few leaked patent designs revealed that the three-door version of the 1-Series line will feature a pulled back B-pillar, angled towards the rear of the vehicle, and the absence of rear doors. An arcing roof combined with an arcing side glass will give the impression of a shooting brake model.
As far as power goes, the new 1-Series three door model will have an engine lineup similar to that of the five-door version: a 1.6 liter four-cylinder in-line engine delivering either 136 or 170 HP and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder in-line diesel with either 116, 143, or 184 HP.
More details on the future BMW 1-Series 3-Door will follow shortly, so stay tuned!
