Popular Limited Edition Returns with Driving Assistance Systems

The 1 Series, with its 1.6-liter turbo engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, and unique rear-wheel drive in the premium compact segment, makes a distinct statement. This limited model, first announced in February and met with great popularity, has now reappeared equipped with the latest driving assistance systems.


True to its "Fashionista" name, this model is characterized by its elegant and stylish design. The interior features a combination of Oyster-colored Dakota leather and white glass trim, creating a bright and modern ambiance. The exterior, in addition to its white body color, incorporates white kidney grille bars and 17-inch Y-spoke style alloy wheels, resulting in an elegant and refined styling.

Functionally, it newly incorporates driving aids such as a rearview camera to assist with parking in tight spaces, rear Park Distance Control, and Servotronic for agile steering during parking. Furthermore, it is equipped with packages like the "Driving Assistant Package," which includes "Collision Warning with City Braking Function" and "Lane Departure Warning" to alert the driver if the vehicle deviates from its lane.


Additionally, it features the "SOS Call" and "TeleServices" that BMW is increasingly standardizing across its models. Despite the extensive equipment, the price is set at 3.66 million yen, an increase of only 580,000 yen over the base model.
