THE big-selling BMW 1 Series has been given a mid-life nip and tuck, ushering in an unusually extensive facelift for the Audi A3 and Mercedes A-Class rival. So significant are the visual and mechanical changes, BMW is referring to this as the fourth-generation 1 Series – despite the fact the Mk3 was only launched in 2019.
Key to these revisions is a new look – albeit onesystems. To the side, the most notable change is the embossed number ‘1’ on the car’s C-pillar, incorporated within the iconic Hofmeister kink above the rear wheel.
