BMW 1-series M
might be getting most of the attention from the petrol-blooded of this world right now, but BMW is also giving the rest of its 1-series coupe and convertible models a refresh for 2011.
The tweaked 1-series will get its public debut at the Detroit motor show in January
The facelift is mild to say the least, with revised light designs front and rear including a fetching LED 'eyebrow', and a new splitter - dubbed the 'air curtain' by BMW.
As a result aerodynamic efficiency is improved, with consequent benefits to fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Which is jolly good, although BMW hasn't yet released the exact figures.
Trim revisions include the introduction of three new alloy wheel designs - V-spoke 18in items, and two new 17in designs - while buyers can now also opt for 'Marrakesh Brown' or 'Vermillion Red' paint.
