If the sheetmetal for the current BMW 1 Series isn’t polarizing enough for you, then check out the photos of the 2012 BMW 1 Series just leaked on the Internet today.
Earlier this year, our spy photographers caught a 1 Series tester playing in the snow. The camouflage left a lot to the imagination, though it’s doubtful any BMW fan with Photoshop skills would’ve rendered what we see here. Depending on the angle, it appears to be part X1, part 5-Series GT and—for better or for worse—the summation of BMW’s current design direction (miss Chris Bangle yet?).
The photos are of the five-door hatchback version sold only in Europe so we will have to wait and see how the coupe turns out. And like the current 1-Series, expect a variety of gas engines as well as diesel options. Beyond that, details are slim for now, but more info should start trickling in closer to its official debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show this September.-wot.motortrend.com
