Ok so what is the deal on this 1 series?

It looks to be BMW's answer to the Matrix, Golf, Mazda3 and Civic Si. RWD, four banger, appeal to the younger crowd.

They really should make this the 1-series instead:

Ok so what is the deal on this 1 series? Is it marketed at younger people? And does it come in a two door. Looking at those pics probably not.

They're shooting for 2 door coupe, 3 door hatch, and four door sedan body styles. The coupe and hatch will likely be marketed as a 2-series instead of a 1-series, with an M2 at the top of the range powered by a killer 4cyl (kind of like the E30 M3).

I was told that the 1 or the 2 series will not be coming to the States as it will self Canibalize the Mini market. But I'm hoping that what I was told is wrong.
If it does come, my boss knows that the first car we get is mine.

It will be shown at the Geneva show in March, and no hatchback and 4 cylinders for the US.

The US won't see the 4cyl versions. Only the 6cyl ones. And it probably won't hurt Mini so muxh since they will cost in the mid-high 20s.

That damn video is the most frustrating thing I've ever seen. I keep thinking "Look down! look down! I want to see what the car looks like!"
Unsurprisingly, it looks to be marketed directly to young, single men -- the video includes eye-contact-with-smiling-hot-chick shots and stare-at-hot-chick-in-rearview-mirror shots. Classics.

Re: (vdubjb)

i'd much rather have a mini over the 1 series, even though its smaller.. i'm sure the BMW will be way overpriced and underpowered like most of their entry level cars in the past (318ti). a lot of people will probably buy one just because they can afford a BMW but whatever.

Re: (Reflex5.5)

On a related note, anyone beside me immediately knew in what country this was filmed in, because of the other cars driving around (one specifically)?

I saw several Citi Golf's right there at the beginning, so I am gonna go out on a limb and say somewhere in South Africa.
