It features multi-stage turbocharging with variable turbine geometry for the high-pressure charger, making for instantaneous responses at the slightest touch of the accelerator along with an extraordinaire power curve across a broad rev range. Ensuring particularly precise fuel metering is the fresh version of common rail direct injection which operates at Two,500 bar. Output of one hundred sixty five kW/224 hp and peak torque of four hundred fifty Newton metres (332 lb-ft) propel the 125d – which is fitted as standard with the eight-speed Steptronic transmission – from rest to one hundred km/h (62 mph) in 6.Three seconds. Its spectacle is also class-leading in terms of average fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The key figures here are Four.6 -4.Trio litres per one hundred kilometres (62.8 – 65.7 mpg imp) and one hundred twenty one to one hundred fourteen grams per kilometre (figures according to EU test cycle, may vary depending on the tyre format specified).
Enhanced driving pleasure and efficiency: manual gearbox has a gear sensor, eight-speed Steptronic transmission links up with the navigation system
As well as the fresh BMW 125d, the two BMW 120d xDrive and BMW M135i xDrive all-wheel-drive models also line up as standard with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission or eight-speed Steptronic sport transmission. All other variants of the fresh BMW 1-Series are fitted with a sixspeed manual gearbox, which offers engagement speed control in conjunction with all the new-generation engines. This function uses a gear selection sensor to match the engine rpm to the transmission input shaft speed, resulting in the smoothest possible gear switches.
With the exception of the BMW 116i, BMW 116d EfficientDynamics Edition and BMW 118d xDrive, the variants fitted as standard with a manual gearbox can also be ordered – uniquely in the compact segment – with the eightspeed Steptronic transmission as an option. An updated version of the automatic transmission links up with the fresh engines. Further improved internal efficiency, longer gear ratios, optimised transmission management and a stimulation damper make it a champ of both efficiency and sports spectacle, driving convenience and pleasing acoustics. Among the functional highlights of the eight-speed Steptronic transmission is a predictive shift strategy, which works in conjunction with the car’s navigation system – even when route guidance is not active – to ensure that gear switches are timed precisely according to the driving situation at arm. Based on navigation data, the gearbox identifies and takes into account an approaching corner, intersection, roundabout or motorway slip road. If the vehicle is approaching an intersection or a arch, for example, it switches down early to the most adequate gear, making optimum use of the engine braking effect. The gearbox then shifts to the optimal gear to accelerate dynamically out of the corner. Furthermore, interaction with the navigation system permits unnecessary gear switches inbetween two successive corners to be avoided.
The eight-speed Steptronic sport transmission available as an option for the BMW 125i, BMW M135i, BMW 120d, BMW 120d xDrive and BMW 125d models (standard on the BMW M135i xDrive) stands out with its lightning-fast gear switches. It also comes with shift paddles on the steering wheel and a Launch Control function.
Further expanded range of BMW EfficientDynamics technology
Another contributor to what are in some cases significant reductions in fuel consumption and emissions is the further expanded range of BMW EfficientDynamics features. As well as Brake Energy Regeneration, the need-based operation of ancillary components, Electrified Power Steering, the Optimum Gearshift Indicator and the Auto Begin Stop function (also available in conjunction with an automatic transmission), standard equipment for the fresh BMW 1-Series model range also includes ECO PRO mode, which can be activated using the standard-fitted Driving Practice Control switch. On all cars specified with an automatic transmission – with the exception of the BMW 118i and the BMW 120i – ECO PRO mode now also offers a coasting function. When the accelerator is released at speeds inbetween fifty and one hundred sixty km/h (approx. Thirty – one hundred mph) the engine is decoupled from the rest of the drivetrain. Vehicles with the Navigation system Professional also come with a Proactive Driving Assistant function, which tells the driver when to lift off the throttle ahead of corners, turn-offs, roundabouts and speed thresholds, for example. Intelligent teamwork also permits it to influence the responses of the coasting function when using the engine braking effect would help to increase efficiency in such situations.
The fresh BMW 1-Series models also impress with their improved aerodynamics. At the front of the car, airflow is optimised by features including the freshly designed front apron and an updated sealing concept for the transition inbetween the headlights and bonnet. The BMW 116d EfficientDynamics Edition also comes with active air flap control and specially designed kidney grille bars which, with their slightly angled slant, minimise the amount of air that can flow into the engine compartment – beyond what is needed for cooling purposes. With these measures in place, the fresh BMW 1-Series models have a lower haul coefficient (Cd) than that of their predecessors. The Cd of the fresh BMW 116d EfficientDynamics Edition, for example, has been diminished to 0.29.
BMW ConnectedDrive in the fresh BMW 1-Series model range: Intelligent connectivity equals boundless driving enjoyment
Intelligent connectivity supplies a clear increase in daily driving pleasure – not only in luxury sedans, but also in compact-segment models. Here, the fresh BMW 1-Series again benefits from the development expertise of the world’s leading manufacturer of premium cars and offers customers a high-quality and richly varied selection of driver assistance systems and mobility services. The range of BMW ConnectedDrive features now includes extra options that optimise convenience, safety and the use of infotainment functions.
Standard equipment for the fresh BMW 1-Series includes a SIM card embedded in the car, as a mobile phone connection is required to make use of the likewise standard Intelligent Emergency Call and BMW TeleServices functions, as well as the optional internet-based services. These cover ConnectedDrive Services including the BMW Online internet portal, as well as the Concierge Services private information service, Remote Services and Real Time Traffic information. These functions are now also available in conjunction with the Navigation system Business. In addition, the spectrum of services customers can integrate into their cars retrospectively via apps has been expanded. All functions are safe, convenient and intuitive to use thanks to the BMW iDrive operating system, now also standard.
Apps and the BMW ConnectedDrive Store bring extra multiplicity to the range of infotainment options
Apps take a broad multiplicity of routes when it comes to using internet-based services to open up fresh avenues in information, communication and entertainment. Drivers can integrate app functions into their car via the embedded SIM card or a smartphone. A one-off registration gives customers access to the BMW ConnectedDrive Store, which they can use to adapt the available services to their individual needs – there and then or at a later stage. Extra options can be added at any time – even while on the budge – via the SIM card. The selected functions are made available for use in the car just a few minutes later.
The permanently expanding selection of car and smartphone apps includes web radio functions, the use of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, and entertainment features. The Online Entertainment option from BMW ConnectedDrive opens up a richly varied range of entertainment possibilities. It uses an internet connection established via the integrated SIM card to open up access to twenty two million titles across various genres.
Always on the right course with online navigation data updates
As well as the online-based Real Time Traffic information, the fresh version of the Navigation system Professional now also available for the BMW 1-Series offers an innovative solution for updating maps. The fresh navigation data is transferred into the car “over the air” using a mobile phone connection established by the SIM card – without having to take a long diversion via outward data storage devices and manual installation. The result is another step up in the convenience and reliability of route guidance. The system updates its navigation data several times a year, whenever a fresh version of a map becomes available, and users do not incur licence fees or transfer costs.
The onboard monitor for the Navigation system Professional and the Navigation system Business takes the form of a high-res 8.8-inch or 6.5-inch colour display respectively, each with a classy, slender surround. The Navigation system Professional is now available with a Touch Controller to inject destinations and control numerous other functions.
Fresh Parking Assistant: taking the stress out of parallel or transverse parking
The updated version of the Parking Assistant is now available as an option for the fresh BMW 1-Series. It now features twelve rather than the previous ten sensors and helps the driver to select and use parking spaces lounging not only parallel but now also transversely to the road. The system identifies suitable parking options as the car drives past, registering as usable spaces which are more than eighty centimetres longer than the car and at least Two.50 metres broad. A space suitable for automatic parallel parking can be flanked by two vehicles or obstacles such as planters or waste bins. The fresh version of the Parking Assistant can also be used for parallel parking if there is a vehicle or another obstacle solely in front of the selected space.
The driver can arm over the task of parking to the system by pressing a button or, having selected switch roles gear, by pressing the iDrive Controller. The system will then carry out the requisite steering movements to switch sides the car either parallel or at a right angle into the space.
The range of features has also been extended for Park Distance Control (PDC). The PDC sensors can now be optionally specified solely for the rear or both for the rear and the front of the vehicle. A fresh feature is the automatic activation of PDC at the front when the car is moving forward leisurely. At speeds below four km/h (Two.Five mph) the system automatically starts as soon as the sensors integrated in the front apron detect an obstacle less than a metre away. It means the driver also receives instant assistance by way of acoustic and visual signals when driving forwards into a parking space.
Active Cruise Control system with Stop & Go function
Another fresh addition to the range of driver assistance systems from BMW ConnectedDrive available for the BMW 1-Series is the Active Cruise Control system with Stop & Go function. This radar-based – and therefore particularly effective – system builds on the likewise optional cruise control with braking function, adding an automatic distance control function which permits the driver to cruise cozily in free-flowing traffic on motorways and main roads and ensures that a suitable following distance for the situation at arm is maintained in slow-moving traffic.
The desired distance to the vehicle in front can be selected in four stages. If the car breaches the pre-set distance, the system adapts its speed to suit the traffic conditions by intervening in the engine management and building up brake pressure. As soon as the lane ahead is free again, the car’s speed is restored to the desired value originally entered. This can be anywhere inbetween thirty and two hundred ten km/h (Nineteen – one hundred thirty mph). In stop-start traffic, for example, the driver is relaxed of the task of having to brake regularly. If the car comes to a halt for longer than three seconds, the driver can give the directive to proceed by accelerating shortly or pressing the “Resume” button on the steering wheel. The still active cruise control and distance control functions then become available once again.
The selection of driver assistance systems available for the fresh BMW 1-Series also includes a rear-view camera, High Plank Assistant, Speed Limit Info including No Passing Info display and the Driving Assistant. The latter comprises the camera-based Lane Departure Warning and Collision Warning systems as well as the Attention Assistant feature. The Lane Departure Warning system can be used at speeds over seventy km/h (43 mph) and sends out an alert if the driver drifts out of lane unintentionally. At speeds upwards of fifteen km/h (9 mph), the Collision Warning system flags up an insufficient distance to the vehicle in front. As well as triggering visual and acoustic warnings in this type of situation, the system primes the brakes to help the driver achieve the shortest possible stopping distance if he or she has to intervene.
