BMW 1 Series: The Controversial Change to Front-Wheel Drive
The Controversial Change from Rear-Wheel Drive to Front-Wheel Drive
The new BMW 1 Series has caused a stir among fans of the old version, particularly due to the controversial switch from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive. Just like the introduction of a vegan burger from KFC, the change has sparked questions and concerns from loyal fans. But, as with the popular vegan burger, the new BMW 1 Series could potentially become a hit with consumers.
Design Changes Due to Engine Layout
The exterior of the new 1 Series has been impacted by the shift to a front-wheel drive system. The engine now sits sideways, rather than lengthways, resulting in a shorter bonnet and a more standard appearance. The grille is conspicuously oversized, but the front design varies between the different models of the car.
Improved Interior Design and Comfort
The interior of the new 1 Series has seen significant improvements in material and build quality. The seating and driving position are comfortable and adjustable, and there is ample space in the rear seats due to the front-wheel drive layout. The interior maintains a premium feel with thoughtful design, such as the proper metal handles and comfortable seat fabric.
Engine Options and Driving Experience
The new 1 Series offers a range of engine options, from petrol to diesel, with varying power outputs. The driving experience is surprisingly sporty, despite the front-wheel drive layout. The car handles well on a twisty road and maintains a smooth ride over potholes and rough surfaces, making it suitable for both city driving and long trips on the highway.
Innovative In-Car Technology and Practical Features
The BMW 1 Series comes with innovative in-car technology, including a 9-inch infotainment screen with built-in satellite navigation and support for Apple CarPlay. The interior also offers ample storage and cargo space, with convenient features for carrying larger items and fitting child car seats.
Value for Money and Trim Options
The range of trim options for the 1 Series offers different levels of luxury and performance, with the M135i as the top-of-the-line model. There are various packages and add-ons available, allowing buyers to customize the car to their liking. The starting price for the BMW 1 Series, combined with potential savings through car-buying comparison sites, makes it a compelling option for buyers looking for a premium hatchback.
Verdict and Final Thoughts
Despite the controversy surrounding its shift to front-wheel drive, the new BMW 1 Series offers a compelling mix of performance, comfort, and innovation. While it may no longer hold its unique position as a rear-wheel drive car, it remains a strong contender in the premium hatchback segment. The new model has proven itself through driving experience, interior comfort, and advanced in-car technology, making it a worthy consideration for buyers in the market for a new car.

Answer this question: The best new hatchback available to buy today is… ?
Looks …. very very generic. Could be KIA easily…
I'm still in years 3 years on 😢.
Looks like an old focus
Hmm, does the new Civic handle better?
Here in stupid Ireland it's so much more expensive 😢
It's revs rlly loud tbh
The most uncomfortable car I ever drove
Thanks for the review. I just would have liked you to have spend a lot more time testing out that DCG in heavy traffic, especially going uphill in go-stop-go conditions. I think all dual clutch gearboxes should be judged by that criteria – just how smooth or jerky they are under those conditions.
Nice car, but if I wanted a front-wheel drive car I would buy a Golf, not a 1 series..
The rear-wheel drive was what made it special and the only one in class..
Just got a 23 plate m sport. It's so sexy
As a fan of BMW yeah they really fumbled with the latest 1 series (exterior &FWD)
I just test drove a manual and found the clutch very heavy
God job Hyunday 😂
Looks like BMW were envious of the Focus. The original design was a true pig.
I don't like front wheel drive cars
Ugly looking car, all the creases make it looks like it gas been in a car crash.
The problem is that you are much much nicer than the cars you show .. 😄🥰
This looks funny
I prefer the old one
The new BMW 1 Series – Front Wheel Drive? Transverse Engine? Really BMW? Sorry, but that's not a BMW in my book!!! Even the BMW i3 all electric and plastic pram has rear wheel drive, and is surprisingly fun to drive. This new 1 Series? Not for me!
Does this have android auto?
Front wheel drive makes sense..more cabin room, better performance and more traction in ice/ snow. Smart move BMW.
Nice car but the Golf is much more spacious inside.
Its getting ridiculous to see all the "i have the old BMW bla bla bla.. Gime RWD bla bla bla, they ruined the DNa, bla bla, omg they ruined the car bla bla " fans-united at every review of this car.. Its getting old
90% of them have driven neither model,
99% of them have no clue how RWD is driven, or the physics behind, completely oblivious thst at these power outputs it makes no difference, no power drift, only lift-off oversteer, as with any FWD
100% of them are oblivious that at 140 bhp with all that power loss that the RWD powertrain has, makes the FWD version faster.
Tech wise and design wise this car is one generation ahead frm F20, drive it first and then form an opinion would be the wiser thing to do.
Me: "Hello?"
Telemarketer: "This is Brian with Obnoxious Unlimited, how are you doing today?"
Me: "Hello?"
Telemarketer: "Hello Michael, are you there?"
Me: "Michael?"
Telemarketer: "Yes, is this Michael?"
Me: [in a totally adult voice] "You want daddy?"
Telemarketer: "Um, yes. Is your daddy available?"
Me: "Daddy's smoking cigarettes."
Telemarketer: "Can you get him for me?"
Me: "I don't want him to find out what I did."
Telemarketer: "I'm sorry, what was that?"
Me: I don't want him to find out what I did."
Telemarketer: "What did you do? I'm sure it wasn't that bad."
Me: "I did a poop in the dishes."
Telemarketer: [struggling not to laugh] "I'm sorry, what did you do?"
Me: "I climbed up on the kitchen counter and I did a doodle in the sink full of dishes."
[Telemarketer goes on mute for several seconds to mask what I can only imagine was a raging torrent of laughter]
Me: "Hello?"
Telemarketer: "Yes, did you find your daddy for me?"
Me: "He's smoking cigarettes."
Telemarketer: "Can you put him on the phone?"
Me: "He puts them out on mommy's belly."
Telemarketer: "What's that?"
Me: "It smells like poop in here."
Telemarketer: [concerned] "What's that about your mommy's belly?"
Me: "I need to doodle again."
Telemarketer: "OK, I need you do do me a favor. Can you do me a favor?"
Me: "Uh huh."
Telemarketer: "I need you to go and get your daddy. Can you do that for me?"
Me: "It's coming out of my butt."
Telemarketer: "…"
Me: [grunting] "It's getting all over the carpet. It smells…like…"
Telemarketer: "Oh. My. God."
Me: "…dirty taco baby [grunting] poopy doodles…"

Vegan burgers suck
had it for a rental for 24 hrs, put about 120 km on it in middle & rural tokyo. Ride was choppy and the auto dual clutch at low speeds is an absolute disgrace (hurking/jerking/lurching, doesn't interact w/ the brakes well at all) especially combined w/ the auto start/stop. I have no idea why all these auto "journalists" give a free pass for shitty euro cars when they shit on say, asian brand cars with the most minute imperfections.
7:12 at least the camera won’t break like the ones on Mercedes vehicles
Barely a hatchback at 15 foot long
If Volvo could design and engineer a straight-6 (B6304T / B6324S) to fit transversely – and British Leyland (E Series) – then why can't BMW?
Worst and most ugly copy of series 1. This one looks like a pig.
looks similar to a new ford focus, old shape looks better imo
The BMW 1 Series 2021 looked quite underrated.
this review sounds like car was made by EA, everything is paid option
Poor man's BMW!
A front wheel drive BMW with a short hood.. I'd rather have a 10th/11th gen honda civic.
8:45 you been hitting the gym?
I don't like it cause it's basically a small 2 series active tourer now
Did it become popular? Matt?
Can it fit a road bike in the boot with the wheels off?
Just got a 2021 BMW 120i, love it
Even my Dinosaur 120d from 2005 looks better than this "Korean Godzilla Clone"….except from the rear maybe….yeah the rear IS better. But that's it. Someone at the BMW designteam needs to get fired. Rear wheel drive is a part of it's DNA, and I don't care if it "rides better" with front wheel drive….It dosen't. Period. It's simple physics. No system can compensate for that push you feel. They officially killed the 1-series with this car. Only option is the 3.series.
