BMW 1 Series Coupe
Mon, 02 Jul 2007Details of BMW's latest addition have been officially released. The new 1 Series Coupe - which will be available as both a 128i and a 135i when it goes on sale in North America - is a modern interpretation of the classic 2002, with a front-engine and rear-drive configuration.
