BMW Vehicles

PSA and BMW are working together to create the 4-cylinder 1.6 liter engine that for now resides in the R65 MINI Cooper. Norbert Reithofer – BMW CEO – stated during an interview that this engine will be making its way into the BMW 1-Series. We weren’t able to get details on which particular models would be given this engine or even which markets it will be sold in.

When BMW released the 1-series for the 2007 model year they were surprised that it became as popular as it did. To show their appreciation to all the loyal customers who bought it and loved it they have decided to do something unique for the 2008 1-series. They are celebrating by branding the start/stop button on the vehicle with an engraving that says ‘Year One of the 1’.
