BMW 1 Series: world premiere for xDrive, new entry-level diesel model.

In Paris the intelligent all-wheel drive system xDrive sees its premiere in the BMW 1 Series. This system, which distributes drive torque variably between the front and rear axle, is now available for the compact model for the first time. Two models are presented for the market launch: the 120d xDrive and the BMW M 135i xDrive.

The new diesel entry-level model BMW 114d will also be presented at the 2012 Paris Motor Show: its 1.6-litre 4-cylinder engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology has an output of 70 kW/95 bhp, achieving an average fuel consumption of 4.1 to 4.3 litres per 100 kilometres (figures based on the EU test cycle, dependent on tyre format selected). This means that there are now five petrol engines and six diesel engines to choose from for the new 5-door BMW 1 Series and the new 3-door BMW 1 Series, combining hallmark brand driving pleasure with exemplary efficiency.

Will be great to see a smaller lighter N5x that can compete with the AWD turbo cars from Japan auto-x and launch capability.

Cool but not available in the USA so don't care all that much. Nice to see them offering it with all wheel drive though.

Neither of those cars will be available in the US. It's too bad they won't put AWD on the 2 series coupe or gran coupe. the new A series AMG car is AWD.

AMG is moving to all wheel drive for basically the AMG's.
