The 2010 BMW 1-Series in some ways represents BMW at its best: offering simple driving enjoyment in a compact car that looks back to the much-loved BMW 2002 from the 1970s. Over the years, BMW's 3-Series line has evolved and increased in size and weight to the point that BMW filled the gap at the bottom of the range with the 1-Series coupe and convertible.
The 1-Series shares the long hood and short deck of the 3-Series, but it's smaller. Its 104.7-inch wheelbase is 4 inches shorter than the 3-Series Coupe, but its truncated shape is shy of its bigger sibling by half a foot. Overall width is almost 3 inches narrower. The overall effect is that the 1-Series is a bit abbreviated, and some might not think that its proportions are quite as "right" as those of the 3-Series.
Two models are offered for each body style—the 128i and the 135i—and both are available with either a six-speed manual or an automatic gearbox. The main difference between the two models is the engine; the 128i uses a non-turbo 230-horsepower version of the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, while the 135i provides a more ample 300 hp from its twin-turbo version of the 3.0-liter six. The 2010 BMW 1-Series handles well and steers beautifully, and it feels positively like a sports car.
