Introducing the all new 1 Series Coupe
| Celebrating the innovative ideas and driving fun started with America's first BMW |
|
The heart of high performance, with heart to spare |
Forty years after the 2002tii arrived in the U.S. and launched the sports sedan concept, BMW brings the true essence of driving enjoyment to a new level with the introduction of the 1 Series Coupe: a dynamic four-seater with clean, sporty lines, a classic interior, and a passion for performance.
The 1 Series comes with a choice of two powerful and fuel-efficient six-cylinder engines, two 6-speed transmissions, and dozens of ways for customers to express their personalities through distinctive paints, upholsteries and optional features. But no matter how it's configured, the BMW 1 Series delivers the ultimate driving experience.

Under the hood of the 135i, BMW's award-wining twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six with direct fuel injection draws on 300 hp, generating 300 lb-ft of torque from 1400-5000 rpm; it propels the 135i from 0-60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. Using a high-precision fuel injection system, every ounce of fuel is maximized, making the twin-turbo engine more efficient and overcoming the traditionally poor gas mileage of turbocharging. Another potent 3.0-liter inline six- a 230-hp Valvetronic power plant capable of 200 lb-ft of torque at 2750 rpm - powers the 128i from 0-60 in 6.1 seconds.
Both models offer a choice of 6-speed transmissions. The silky-shifting manual comes standard, or choose the optional STEPTRONIC automatic with adaptive Transmission Control. Steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters are included when the 1 Series Coupe is equipped with the optional Sport Package and automatic transmission. But whichever engine and transmission are in the 1 Series, innovative engineering makes it possible to enjoy outstanding performance, reduced emissions, and fewer trips to the pump. |
| A pure reflection of the joy of driving. |
The all-new 2008 1 Series Coupe melds classic BMW design elements with striking, new touches. A long hood, distinctive shoulder line and short overhangs underscore its sporty attitude. At night, Corona headlight-rings announce its arrival, while LED taillight clusters signal its departure. Four new Star Spoke cast alloy wheel styles add eye-catching interest.
The 135i is differentiated from the 128i by its aero kit with integrated rear spoiler, Xenon Adaptive Headlights with Cornering Lights, and high-intensity headlight washers. Its handling enhancements include performance-tuned DSC, 18-inch wheels with performance tires, and sport suspension calibration with high-performance brakes. |

BMW AND NASA CONCLUDE TEST PERIOD OF BMW HYDROGEN 7
Eight-Week-Long Test Underscores Companies' Mutual Support of Hydrogen Technologies
Cape Canaveral, FL - August 8, 2007... As NASA engineers prepare to launch the Space Shuttle Endeavour today, BMW of North America and NASA announced the successful completion of an eight-week test period of the BMW Hydrogen 7 - the first-ever hydrogen-powered luxury sedan.
The test period, which was initiated under a Space Act Agreement between NASA and BMW, underscores the organizations' shared commitment to advancing hydrogen technologies and to exploring innovative transportation concepts and alternative energy sources.
"We are very proud to have been able to offer this test period of the BMW Hydrogen 7 to NASA, an organization that truly is on the forefront of discovery and innovation and with whom we share a unique common goal: the use and ongoing research of liquid hydrogen solutions," said Karl-Heinz Ziwica, Vice President of Engineering, BMW of North America. "It is the high energy density of liquid hydrogen that allows the space shuttle to be accelerated into space. The same concept is used to power the BMW Hydrogen 7. Using hydrogen as a fuel potentially reduce CO2 emissions by 90 percent. The BMW Hydrogen 7 is tangible proof that hydrogen-drive vehicles are a very viable option for the future of sustainable mobility, and we're pleased that NASA was able to experience it firsthand."
During the test period, NASA personnel had full access to the fleet of BMW Hydrogen 7s, which run on a form of liquid hydrogen similar to what NASA uses in its shuttles. During their time with NASA, the vehicles - which feature a dual combustion engine capable of running on liquid hydrogen or gasoline and shifting seamlessly between the two - were conveniently refueled using the space center's liquid hydrogen fueling supply located on the space center's premises.
The BMW Hydrogen 7
Last year, BMW underscored its commitment to hydrogen-drive technologies with the debut of the BMW Hydrogen 7 - the world's first hydrogen-drive luxury performance automobile - to help stimulate demand for a viable hydrogen infrastructure in the long term. The car comes equipped with an internal combustion engine capable of running on either liquid hydrogen or gasoline and is based on the BMW 750Li. The V12 cyliner engine delivers 260 hp: the top speed of the Hydrogen 7 is 143 mph and acceleration 0-60 mph is 9.2 sec. When driving in Hydrogen mode, emissions of the BMW Hydrogen 7 are virtually nothing but water vapor. Since the start of research and development in alternative fuel sources more than 25 years ago, BMW has focused on liquid hydrogen as the appropriate source of energy for the automobile. The car features a high-tech vacuum super-insulated hydrogen tank in which liquid hydrogen can be stored at the extremely low temperature of -423° Fahrenheit for a long period of time - the same insulating effect as a 17-meter-thick layer of Styrofoam. One hundred BMW Hydrogen 7s have been built, and 25 are used in test programs in the US. The cars have already covered more than 1.3 million miles in test programs around the globe.
