These numbers are unrivaled for any base engine, but the BMW 1 Series doesn't stop there in terms of performance. The 131i is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine that produces an impressive 300 horsepower and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. There is no higher performing small car on the market, so drivers searching for a fun drive need look no further than the 2012 BMW 1 Series.

In order to increase fuel efficiency, the 2012 BMW 1 Series features both auto start-stop technology and regenerative braking. The auto start-stop technology works by shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stopped, and as soon as the brake pedal is released the vehicle will re-start by the time the driver places their foot on the accelerator. The innovative regenerative braking system converts energy used during braking into power to help run the engine.

BMW has added an array of technological features into the 2012 1 Series, so that drivers never feel out of touch. BMW Apps allows drivers to play apps that have been modified for BMW in their vehicle. This will allow drivers to listen to web music while driving, and access Facebook or Twitter accounts in the display monitor. The available navigation system with traffic alerts guarantees drivers always know where they are going, and Voice Command allows drives to utilize Bluetooth hands-free calling, as well as many navigation functions, with just the sound of their voice.
