Since 2004, the BMW 1 Series E87 has been built in Regensburg and Leipzig, Germany. Designed to compete against the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf, the E87 features rear-wheel drive (just like a real BMW) and a longitudinally-mounted engine.
The 1 Series was first offered to the market as a 5-door hatchback It replaced the BMW 3-series Compact range and is currently the BMW with the smallest footprint and lowest sticker price in the BMW range. This new vehicle has its own platform but it shares many components with the E90 3 Series, including MacPherson struts in the front, and the special configured rear axle in the back. All in all, the car shares some 60% of components with big brother BMW 3-series E90.
The 1 Series E87 may be equipped with an engine from the Hams Hall plant in Birmingham, England. It is a very popular machine in terms of sales and is expected to do very well in the coming years. The line is expanding; 2008 should see the introduction of a coupe (E82) and a two -door cabriolet (E88). LLTek will be among the first to provide tuning options for these cars.
