Updated January 27, 2016: BMW 1 Series Prototype Drops Some Camouflage.
We've finally spotted BMW's answer to the Mercedes CLA and Audi A3 sedan. The F52 1 Series Sedan is built upon the FWD platform which will also underpin the the next generation 1 Series hatchback and 2 Series Coupe/Convertible to follow after this sedan. It will also be offered with AWD xDrive.
BMW has previously gone
on the record as saying that it "sees little need for a sedan smaller than the 3-Series," but it seems that the company has either reversed course, or were masking their plans from competitors until now.
Engine offerings will top out at 4 cylinders. The 1 Series sedan will come in 120i and 125i models -
