  <strong>The BMW 1 Series</strong></h2>
<p>With a dynamic design presence, a completely revised drive portfolio
  and extensively improved chassis technology, the new BMW 1 Series has
  sharpened its profile in its fourth generation as the sportiest
  vehicle in the competitive environment. Highly efficient engines and a
  production process designed to conserve resources and recycle
  materials optimise sustainability throughout the entire product life
  cycle. Its progressive character is also reflected in the redesigned
  interior, an extended range of automated driving and parking systems,
  the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and innovative digital services
  based on BMW Operating System 9.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Exterior design: Dynamic front end and hallmark BMW proportions.</strong></p>
<p>The sporty aura of the BMW 1 Series is underlined in the latest model
  generation by typical BMW proportions: a long bonnet, a passenger cell
  set well back, a dynamically flowing roofline and a powerful rear end.
  The dimensions of the five-door model have changed only slightly
  compared to its predecessor. The exterior length of the new
  BMW 1 Series has increased by 42 millimetres to 4,361 millimetres,
  while the wheelbase is 2,670 millimetres. The vehicle width is 1,800
  millimetres, while the height has increased by 25 millimetres to 1,459 millimetres.</p>
<p>With a strikingly flat front end that sits significantly lower to the
  road than its predecessor, the new BMW 1 Series signals its sporty
  character more than ever. The wide, forward-leaning BMW radiator
  grille features an innovative structure of vertical and diagonal bars.
  The standard LED headlights feature striking vertical elements for the
  daytime running light and the turn indicators. Adaptive LED headlights
  with glare-free matrix high beam, cornering light function and blue
  accents are optionally available.</p>

<h2>
  <strong>BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé</strong></h2>
<p>An entirely renewed drive portfolio, extensively enhanced suspension
  technology and innovative systems for automated driving and parking
  ensure unique driving pleasure.</p>
<p>The progressive character of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coup is
  evident in the area of digitalisation, too. The user experience in the
  redesigned interior is defined by the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect
  and a wide range of digital services and in-car gaming based on BMW
  Operating System 9.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Sporty elegance in the hallmark style of the BMW brand.</strong></p>
<p>The exterior design of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is defined by
  an expressive front section, a dynamically elongated silhouette and a
  powerfully designed rear. This conveys even more clearly the sporty
  elegance that is so characteristic of a BMW Gran Coupé.</p>
<p>The wide BMW radiator grille positioned below the headlights
  featuring an innovative structure of vertical and diagonal bars inside
  and the large lower air inlet give the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a
  low-slung, road-hugging appearance.</p>
<p>The standard LED headlights comprise vertical elements for the
  daytime running lights and turn indicators. Adaptive LED headlights
  with glare-free matrix high beam, cornering light function and blue
  accentuations are available as an option. </p>
<p>The side view is defined by the long bonnet, short overhangs and a
  gently flowing roofline. A pronounced indentation in the transition to
  the rear emphasises the athletically shaped shoulder section. At the
  rear of the elegantly elongated side window graphic, a discreetly
  embossed number 2 highlights the characteristic Hofmeister kink. The
  rear derives its powerful, modern appearance from an especially ample
  surface structure broken up by just a few lines, flat lights with a
  striking notch, and invisibly integrated exhaust tailpipes (exception:
  BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé). Further accentuations for refined dynamic
  performance are provided by the M Sport package and the M Sport
  package Pro.</p>
