BMW has launched a few vehicles in India and it the next in the fleet of the cars is the entry-level 1 Series limited edition hatchback car. There will be only 111 units available for the sale and the car is already out at the dealership stores for the same. However, there is no change in the mechanical department of the car, but a few tweaks are there to make it look a little bit different from the original version.
This limited edition is based on the top of the class diesel engine with 2.0 Litre 4-cylinder twin power turbo engine which can develop 143 bhp power @ 4000 rpm and 320 Nm torque @ 1750-2500 rpm. The acceleration of the car takes it from 0-100 km/h in moderate 8.5 seconds and mileage it offers according to the ARAI standards is around 21 km/l. On the cosmetic front, the car has sportier front and rear bumper, side skirts, distinguished alloy wheels and the body strips as well to provide a complete new look to the car.
The car will be the new limited edition entry after the Mercedes-Benz has launched the A Class and B Class Limited Edition cars last month. The price of this new limited edition BMW 1 Series M performance car is up by at least INR 2.5 Lac from what the current price is and it'll have the direct head-on competition with the Mercedes-Benz A class.
