BMW 1 Series: Design CoupéAdrian Van Hooydonk, Head of Design - BMW Automobiles explains the secret behind the "shape of power": the exterior of the BMW 1 Series Coupé. A long bonnet, a set-back trapezoidal greenhouse and short overhangs: the BMW 1 Series Coupé looks quick, even when stationary. The clearly defined shoulder line and long wheelbase confidently highlight its perfect proportions from its muscular front to its powerful and wide rear. In line with legendary BMW 2002 tradition, the new BMW 1 Series Coupé provides the ideal measurements to deliver optimum driving dynamics.------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Adrian Van Hooydonk, Head of Design - BMW Automobiles explains the
"summer feeling" of the BMW 1 Series Convertible.
During the day, the sun reflects across the long lines of the hood's
contour before being absorbed by the convex-concave surfaces and
protruding wheel arches. At night, city lights rebound off the muscular
profile. When the softtop is open, the focus shifts to the wide and
elegant rear. When closed, the impact is compact and powerful.
Embodying a unique approach to life, the BMW 1 Series Convertible
offers the most inspiring open-top driving experience in its class ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |
