 Don't Just Drive, Experience the Thrill of Driving a 2009 BMW 1 Series Coupe
Finally your wait for a luxury sports coupe with interior sophistication and road savvy performance is here! The 2009 BWM 1 Series Coupe provides drivers with a smooth and controlled ride amid all of the great interior features that BMW customers expect. In test drives, both the 230 horsepower 128i and the 300 horsepower 135i gave a stunning performance. The Los Angeles times raved that the 135i's engine's "sound is so ferocious and bittersweet, so carnal and wicked, somebody ought to name a heavy-metal band after it: Velvet Chain Saw." And Edmunds says,"BMW driving experience at its purest, powerful and efficient engines. ... Whichever 1 Series you choose, you're assured of a fun time."

The interior of this coupe really gives BMW drivers the opportunity to enjoy the good things in life. For example, if you're tall you'll have plenty of leeway to move that front seat around to get comfortable because the BMW 1 Series has 8-way adjustable front seats with manual height adjustment for the front passenger and 2-way headrests. With the split fold-down rear seat with its built-in storage bin and plenty of space in the trunk, you'll have plenty of room for whatever you want to bring along too. That's a nice thought but we you don't have much time to linger on it, since there are so many more great features for us to cover, such as the tilt/telescopic 3-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel with audio and hands-free phone controls. You'll be able to keep your focus on the road instead of punching buttons on your phone or reaching over to mess with the radio. Then again you might want to relax a bit too--that's okay, especially with the dynamic cruise control.

You may enjoy the wind in your hair and dancing in the rain, then again, you may not. If you'd rather keep the elements out of your car, then consider the BMW 1 Series Coupe. It has one touch up/down operation power front windows, and a 2-way power glass moonroof with one-touch operation, a sliding interior sunshade, and a wind deflector. Bad weather is never convenient, fortunately the 1 Series Coupe is prepared with its rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic headlight control, heated dual power windows and heated windshield washer jets. You may believe that gulping in the not-so-clean air builds immunity--but then again, why take the risk? The BMW 1 Series Coupe has automatic climate control which includes a micro-filter, automatic air recirculation, left/right temperature control, MAX A/C, heat at rest, and recall of individual user settings.

The list of convenience features just keeps coming. Each 1 Series includes an engine start/stop button as well as a tire pressure monitor and an on-board computer that keeps you up-to-date on everything that's going on inside your vehicle. It provides feedback on the vehicle's operating status. This includes an oil level indicator and distance to next service appointment/oil change, as well as other detailed information, such as spark plug and micro-filter status. It also provides travel information such as travel range on remaining fuel, external temperature, and more.

What would a comfortable and convenient ride be without your favorite tunes? The BMW 1 Series incorporates the finest audio components in the industry, including an anti-theft AM/FM stereo CD/MP3 player audio system, with 10 speakers, Radio Data System (displays station and artist information), Auto-Store and a 3-channel FM diversity antenna. There's also an auxiliary audio input for portable music players located in the center armrest and pre-wiring for a BMW center installation of a 6-disc CD/MP3 changer and satellite radio.

The bottom line is, the 1 Series Coupe is fun to drive. It doesn't just get you there, it thrills you getting there! According to U.S. News and World Report Rankings and Reviews, auto experts reported that both the 128i and 135i 1-Series have enough power to outpace most of their class, and Motor Trend said, "The brakes, which are best described as large and in charge, are always on their game." The 2009 1 Series Coupe includes handling features like electric power steering, with Servotronic power assist, 4-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes with Dynamic Brake Control and Dynamic Stability Control which includes Brake Fade Compensation, Start-off Assistant, Brake Drying, and Brake Stand-by features, with Dynamic Traction Control to get you over rougher terrain. You'll probably want to stay on the roads more travelled, but if not, you can count on the 1 Series' twin-tube gas-pressure shock absorbers, front and rear anti-roll (stabilizer) bars, five-link fully independent rear suspension in lightweight steel, and aluminum double-pivot spring and strut-type suspension.

Now that we've talked about the fun stuff, we'll talk about the stuff that is necessary--safety equipment. We don't like to talk about accidents, but they happen and it's best to be prepared. The BMW 1 Series Coupe is designed to keep you and your passengers safe and sound. It comes with a whole armada of air bags and air bag accessories, including front-seat-mounted front side-impact airbags, a driver's and passenger's front airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) with advanced technology including dual-threshold, dual-stage deployment; and front-passenger seat sensors designed to prevent unnecessary airbag deployment. The 1 Series also has front passenger seat-occupation recognition with a Passenger's Airbag Off indicator. There are also adaptive brake lights, which change their brightness according to how hard you're braking. The seat belts are great too. There are automatic safety-belt pretensioners on the front seating positions and automatic-locking retractors (ALR) on all passenger-seat safety belts for installation of a child-restraint seat. Moreover, there are LATCH attachments For child-restraint safety installation on the rear seats.
