Oh dear. It appears that the overhauled <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/1+series">2012 BMW 1 Series</a> has leaked onto the Internet ahead of its <a href="http://autoblog.com/category/frankfurt-motor-show">Frankfurt Motor Show</a> debut, and while we only have images of it from a few angles, the new car's design has us scratching our heads. It's true that the 1 Series has never been a particularly gorgeous thing, but we're going to have to see this one in person to wrap our head around its upsized visage.<br />
<br />
As is the way with such things, the 1 Series will grow in size compared to the car we currently enjoy, and a range of new four- and six-cylinder turbocharged engines should be seen underhood. BMW is expected to further its Efficient Dynamics program by fitting the new 1 with start/stop technology, as well as regenerative braking, though it isn't immediately clear what technologies will come on the 1 Series when it reaches the States.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/03/2012-bmw-1-series-leaks-onto-internet-ahead-of-frankfurt-reveal/">2012 BMW 1 Series leaks onto Internet ahead of Frankfurt reveal</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 03 Jun 2011 17:13:00 EST.
