‘Old Pang’ spends another €15 million at Saab

New BMW 1 Series 3dr with new entry-level 114i revealed

New BMW 1 Series 3 Door BMW has revealed the three door version of the new 1 Series and a new entry level 1 Series – the BMW 114i. The reveal of the BMW M135i Concept at the Geneva Motor Show in March gave us the first look at the three door version of the new 1 Series, and today we get the three door 1 Series range revealed in full as well as details on the new M135i.
