The 1 Series Coupe was created for pure driving exhilaration. Unleash the eager 230-hp inline six-cylinder engine in the 128i and feel the exhilaration of racing from 0 to 60 in 6.1 seconds.1 In the 135i, a 300-hp TwinPower Turbo inline six generates 300 lb-ft of torque to slingshot the Coupe past 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds.2 It takes tight corners with minimal roll, courtesy of a special sport suspension. And its lean, muscular body, accentuated by its aerodynamic kit, improves handling. A trunklid spoiler, for example, helps keep the 135is 18" wheels and run-flat performance tires3 glued to the road by reducing lift in the rear at high speeds. All the while, fade-resistant, high-performance anti-lock brakes with six-piston calipers in front and two-piston at the rear help keep all this forward momentum in check. When you drive the 1 Series Coupe, youre guaranteed to come away grinning.

Its difcult to take in the dynamic beauty of the 1 Series Coupe at a single glance. Theres the power of its aerodynamic silhouette and athletic stance. The uid motion of its lines and contours. The way the compact body blends into the long front hood, creating the impression of irresistible forward motion. And the unmistakable design elements, such as the twin-kidney grille, signature Hofmeister kink, striking shoulder line and short overhangs, that say pure BMW.

At BMW, we create dynamic vehicles that thrill you with quick acceleration, predictable handling and unshakable control. We are also busy nding innovative fuels and technologies that help preserve the environment while delivering legendary performance. This is what we refer to as EfcientDynamics. This goal led to the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogen-powered engine in the BMW Hydrogen 7 Sedan. In 2009, BMW introduced Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance in the U.S., offering diesel power with quick acceleration, increased fuel efciency and reduced emissions. And now, BMWs ActiveHybrid X6 and ActiveHybrid 7 vehicles combine combustion and electric power to boost performance while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. At BMW, we are driven to do much more with less.
"/%5)*4*48)"5$0.&4065
Double-VANOS VANOS is BMWs valve timing system that can steplessly vary the points in the combustion cycle when valves open and close. Double-VANOS refers to the fact that it operates on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Electronically controlled in response to engine speed, load and temperature, VANOS reduces emissions, and enhances low- to mediumspeed torque, as well as fuel efficiency.
Aerodynamics The more smoothly that air flows over a vehicle, the more efficiently it can operate. All BMWs are designed for a low coefficient of aerodynamic drag, which translates into quicker acceleration, more stable handling, quieter operation and greater fuel efficiency. A BMWs integrated front spoilers reduce the amount of air flowing underneath, minimizing front-end lift. This allows a BMW to hug the road at higher speeds for excellent stability.

Aluminum front suspension: The 1 Series Coupe uses a lightweight, twin-joint tension strut suspension for maximum strength and minimum weight; hydro-mounts reduce vibration and noise. The overall result is noticeably athletic agility and responsive steering.

32 | 33 Safety

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) helps to stabilize a BMW in just milliseconds when it senses an impending skid. If the system senses over- or understeer, it modulates engine power and can apply brakes individually to help keep the vehicle under control and going in the intended direction. For sportier driving or in deep snow, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) allows increased wheelslip. In the 135i Coupe, DSC is designed specically for performance-oriented driving. The accelerator pedal has a quicker response rate; the electronic rear brakes simulate a different differential lock for stronger acceleration in turns.
"%:/".*$ "$5*7&4"'&5:%60 108&3'6-#3",&4 "/%%4$
Even more important than quick acceleration, a BMWs large, faderesistant brakes are a crucial part of its active safety capabilities. Thats why the 1 Series Coupe is equipped with four potent, ventilated anti-lock disc brakes. These work together with BMWs Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system to create a formidable active safety system to help keep you in control at all times. In addition to Dynamic Brake Control, Cornering Brake Control and All Season Traction, DSC also includes four inspired brake function enhancements. When a sensor detects that it is raining, Brake Drying works to eliminate accumulated moisture by bringing the brake pads into contact with the rotors to help dry them. If you suddenly remove your foot from the throttle, Brake Stand-by anticipates you want to stop quickly, and pre-tenses the brake calipers for faster action when you apply the brakes. When descending steep roads, brakes can heat up from continuous and repeated braking; this reduces braking power. Brake Fade Compensation senses and compensates for this by applying the brakes with more force, while using the same pedal pressure. Start-off Assistant helps prevent your car from rolling forwards or backwards when stopped on a hill, holding it momentarily as you release the brake to start moving again. It all adds up to a greater sense of driving security and pleasure.

Safety 34 | 35

The 1 Series Coupes extremely stiff passenger cell, safety-belt system, driver and front passenger airbags at front and sides, and Head Protection System front and rear work together to help provide excellent protection in an impact.
Please note: These pictures of airbags are for illustrative purposes only. Depending upon the type of accident, none, some or all airbags may deploy.

s / o Xenon Adaptive Headlights provide brilliant clarity of the road ahead and to the side at night and in conditions with poor visibility. The dynamic auto-leveling feature adjusts for varying passenger and cargo loads, helping to keep headlight glare out of the eyes of oncoming drivers. BMW Adaptive Headlights provide optimum road illumination around corners, thanks to an electromechanical control system that directs the headlights into and around the bend as soon as the vehicle begins cornering. The Corona headlight-rings that circle both headlights and high beams also act separately as Daytime Running Lights and parking lights. (Standard on 135i; optional on 128i.) o Automatic high beams uses light sensor readings to automatically switch from high beams to low, as needed such as when there is oncoming trafc or another car ahead, or when the road is sufciently illuminated.

Ski bag allows clean and secure transport of four pairs of skis and ski poles as well as other long items. When the ski bag is not extended, it can be stored out of sight to save space, and the fold-down center armrest can be left down for use.
s Standard front seats, shown here with optional Taupe Boston Leather upholstery and iDrive, offer eight-way manual adjustment including two-way adjustment of headrests. The front passenger seat also includes manual height adjustment.
Convenience Package: Well thought-out details can make a big difference in making everyday life easier. Thats why the Convenience Package adds the practicality of Comfort Access keyless entry, the assistance of rear Park Distance Control, and the reassurance of an Anti-theft alarm to the 128i and 135i. In the 128i, the Convenience Package also includes the enhanced visibility of Xenon Adaptive Headlights. Xenon Adaptive Headlights provide daytimelike illumination at night and in conditions with poor visibility. When cornering, the Adaptive feature turns the headlights, directing them into and around bends. Corona headlight-rings that circle both headlights and high beams also act separately as Daytime Running Lights and parking lights. (Standard on 135i.) Comfort Access system offers convenient keyless access to your car. Simply carrying the remote key in a pocket or purse allows you to lock or unlock the doors by touching the door handle. You can also turn the engine on or off by pressing the Start/Stop button without inserting the remote key. (Foot must be on the brake; with manual transmission, clutch must also be depressed in order to start.)
o Eight-way adjustable front sport seats, included in the Sport Package, make the driving experience more enjoyable. Side bolsters can be power-adjusted to fit your back comfortably while helping to hold you firmly in place during tight cornering. Includes two-way headrests and thigh support for added support. (Shown with optional Black Boston Leather upholstery and iDrive.)
o Heated front seats are a welcome feature for driver and front passenger in cooler weather. By pressing the icon button, seat surface and backrest are heated and quickly radiate comfortable warmth in your choice of three settings. (Heated front seats are also included in the Cold Weather Package.)
s Lined luggage compartment is illuminated and can be expanded by folding down the split-folding rear seats. An elastic strap on the left-hand side, a flexible storage net on the right and lashing points on the inside edge help to ensure safe transportation of cargo. (Shown with optional Cold Weather Package pass-through opening for ski bag.)

s Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) features Brake Drying, Brake Stand-by, Brake Fade Compensation and Start-off Assistant. DSC is a braking control system that helps to stabilize a vehicle when it senses a loss of control. If the system senses over- or understeer, it responds with counter-measures to help keep the vehicle under control.

s Cornering Brake Control increases vehicle stability by proportioning the braking force while turning. When you brake in a turn, the pressure comes off the rear wheels, which causes the vehicle to swerve inward (oversteer) (1) Cornering Brake Control counteracts this action by asymmetrically adjusting brake pressure (2), creating stabilizing countertorque (3), independently of the ABS system.
s In a collision, BMWs SRS (supplemental restraint system) with advanced technology for the front airbags determines which airbags to deploy for optimal protection. The system also includes front-seat-mounted side-impact airbags and HPS (Head Protection System) to help protect passengers in both front and rear.
s BMW restraint system for the driver and front passenger combines three-point safety belts, automatic safety-belt pretensioners, head restraints, and seat bolsters that help prevent occupants from sliding forward. This system helps provide optimum restraint in a collision.

s Impact-absorbing bumpers and compressible crush tubes front and rear help absorb the force of impact in collisions up to nine mph, minimizing damage to the vehicles body and simplifying repairs. Only at higher impact speeds do structural supports begin to deform, dissipating impact energy to help protect occupants.
s Tire Pressure Monitor is an electronic control system designed to warn the driver if there is a sudden and irregular loss of tire pressure. Should the target pressure of a tire fall below 25%, a warning light alerts the driver.
s BMWs door anchoring system includes reinforcing bars with hook-like members within each door. In a serious side impact, the bars hook the door to the body, locking them together to make a more rigid passenger cell. When the pressure is released, the anchoring system is designed to disengage so that the doors can be opened (unless further damage from the impact prevents them from opening).

THE FASTEST ROUTE TO A GRIN.
The 1 Series Coupe was created for pure driving exhilaration. Unleash the eager 230-hp inline six-cylinder engine in the 128i and feel the exhilaration of racing from 0 to 60 in 6.1 seconds.1 In the 135i, a 300-hp TwinPower Turbo inline six generates 300 lb-ft of torque to slingshot the Coupe past 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds.2 It takes tight corners with minimal roll, courtesy of a special sport suspension. And its lean, muscular body, accentuated by its aerodynamic kit, improves handling. A trunklid spoiler, for example, helps keep the 135is 18" wheels and run-flat performance tires3 glued to the road by reducing lift in the rear at high speeds. All the while, fade-resistant, high-performance anti-lock brakes with six-piston calipers in front and two-piston at the rear help keep all this forward momentum in check. When you drive the 1 Series Coupe, youre guaranteed to come away grinning.

DESIGNED TO DELIGHT, MILE AFTER MILE.
The BMW 1 Series Coupe melds classic BMW design elements with notable performance touches. Four dazzling light alloy wheel styles complement the powerful silhouette. A long hood, distinctive shoulder line, short overhangs and trunklid spoiler underscore its sporty attitude. Just as impressive as its looks is its ability to deliver peace of mind with BMW Ultimate Service, the industry-leading, no-cost maintenance plan that covers virtually every wear-and-tear item, like brake pads and rotors, for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.1 Its just another innovative BMW idea one designed to maintain your driving pleasure for many miles to come.

Valvetronic Instead of using a traditional throttle, Valvetronic technology lets the engine breathe more easily by varying the lift height of the valves to regulate air intake. The result: improved cold starts, smoother running, and a significant drop in fuel consumption. Using revolutionary technology such as this, BMW has improved its overall average fuel economy more than any other manufacturer. TwinPower Turbocharged engine The 300-hp 135i benefits from BMWs new TwinPower Turbo engine with Valvetronic technology that delivers quick acceleration without any turbo lag. Fuel economy is strong, as well, thanks to High Precision Injection.
Efficient transmissions The 1 Series Coupe offers a choice of transmissions, each designed to maximize efficiency. In both models, a smoothshifting 6-speed manual is standard. Automatic transmissions are also available: a 6-speed STEPTRONIC automatic in the 128i, and in the 135i, a quick-shifting 7-speed Double Clutch Transmission.
Lightweight construction Our engineers use lightweight aluminum throughout our vehicles in the front section, for example, or for the suspension. BMWs inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine is all aluminum; the naturally aspirated inline six is an aluminum/magnesium composite the lightest in its class. Taken together, these weight savings lead to lower fuel consumption and better axle load distribution for more agility especially in curves.
BMW models have low CO2 emissions today. But thats just for starters. Were carrying on our research in the quest to bring you greater driving pleasure, with fewer emissions and decreased fuel consumption.

Engine 26 | 27

Torque (lb-ft)

Power output (horsepower) Torque (lb-ft)

Engine speed (rpm)
Portrait of an engineering masterpiece: The 135i TwinPower Turbo engine produces 300 hp at 5800 rpm, and quickly develops 300 lb-ft of torque at just 1200 rpm, which continues, without fading, to the 5000 rpm range. With such a broad range of powerful torque, you can enjoy smooth, robust acceleration in any gear, at any speed.

Output (horsepower)

High Precision Injection: Piezo injectors positioned close to the spark plugs in the 135i ensure lean-burn operation under partial loads. To provide optimum combustion, the fuel is injected at high pressure into the cylinders, up to 200 times per fraction of a second. This means that only part of the combustion chamber is filled with an ignitable fuel/air mixture, so fuel is used extremely efficiently.
BMWS REVOLUTION IN POWER TURBOCHARGES YOUR FUN.
BMW engines deliver power and performance with unsurpassed smoothness and efciency. Small wonder they have been winning accolades and awards from the automotive press for years.
technology lets the engine breathe better, for greater power, higher torque, quicker engine response, a smoother idle and enhanced fuel efficiency. The lightweight composite magnesium/aluminum engine block adds to the 128is spirited acceleration and nimble handling. Both models offer, as standard, a silky-shifting 6-speed manual. The 135i can also be ordered with a 7-speed Double Clutch Transmission (DCT) for lightning-quick shifts; in the 128i, STEPTRONIC automatic with Adaptive Transmission Control is available. When either model is equipped with the optional transmission and, in the 128i, either the Sport Package or M Sport Package steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters are automatically added. But whichever engine and transmission combination you choose, innovative BMW engineering makes it possible to enjoy outstanding power and performance with reduced emissions and fewer trips to the pump.

A DYNAMIC ACTIVE SAFETY DUO: POWERFUL BRAKES AND DSC.
Even more important than quick acceleration, a BMWs large, faderesistant brakes are a crucial part of its active safety capabilities. Thats why the 1 Series Coupe is equipped with four potent, ventilated anti-lock disc brakes. These work together with BMWs Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system to create a formidable active safety system to help keep you in control at all times. In addition to Dynamic Brake Control, Cornering Brake Control and All Season Traction, DSC also includes four inspired brake function enhancements. When a sensor detects that it is raining, Brake Drying works to eliminate accumulated moisture by bringing the brake pads into contact with the rotors to help dry them. If you suddenly remove your foot from the throttle, Brake Stand-by anticipates you want to stop quickly, and pre-tenses the brake calipers for faster action when you apply the brakes. When descending steep roads, brakes can heat up from continuous and repeated braking; this reduces braking power. Brake Fade Compensation senses and compensates for this by applying the brakes with more force, while using the same pedal pressure. Start-off Assistant helps prevent your car from rolling forwards or backwards when stopped on a hill, holding it momentarily as you release the brake to start moving again. It all adds up to a greater sense of driving security and pleasure.

Safety 34 | 35

The 1 Series Coupes extremely stiff passenger cell, safety-belt system, driver and front passenger airbags at front and sides, and Head Protection System front and rear work together to help provide excellent protection in an impact.
Please note: These pictures of airbags are for illustrative purposes only. Depending upon the type of accident, none, some or all airbags may deploy.
SAFETY IS ALWAYS NUMBER ONE IN THE 1 SERIES.
Not all collisions can be avoided. Thats why every BMW is designed to help minimize the impact on you, your passengers, and those around you. The 1 Series Coupes protection starts with its extremely rigid body. At speeds up to nine mph, impacts are absorbed by bumpers and compressible crush tubes front and rear. At higher speeds, the body is designed to deform in a predetermined pattern, routing impact energy around the passenger cell. The 1 Series is also equipped with BMWs Advanced Safety System. During a crash, various sensors assess the situation and determine the best deployment strategy for safety restraints throughout the vehicle, such as safety-belt pretensioners and front- and side-impact airbags. During side-impact collisions, BMWs award-winning Head Protection System (HPS) helps cushion front and rear occupants heads, shielding them from debris. After any serious accident, a BMWs hazard lights ash, the interior lights come on, and the doors unlock to allow access for emergency assistance. And a BMW model equipped with BMW Assist1 will automatically transmit its location to a response specialist, who will coordinate any needed emergency help, for your added peace of mind.
