2018 BMW 1 Series M140i 128i – Video
The 1-Series receives minor styling tweaks but the changes are even less noticeable here as updates are limited to new wheels and two new colors: Seaside Blue and Sunset Orange.
To make up for the lack of changes, BMW is introducing three new special editions – Edition Sport Line Shadow, Edition M Sport Shadow, and BMW M140i Edition Shadow – which have black headlight surrounds, a black grille frame, and tinted lighting units.
Bigger changes occur in the interior as designers added a new instrument cluster, a revised center stack, and an updated center console with a roll cover for the cup holders. A closer inspection reveals restyled air vents, additional chrome trim, and new high-gloss black accents. Rounding out the changes are updated trim and upholstery options.
On the technology front, drivers will find an updated iDrive system as well as an 8.8-inch touchscreen display when the Navigation Professional option is selected. Customers can also purchase a WiFi hotspot which supports up to ten devices.
