Does anyone know if the BMW 1 Series is getting another mini-facelift in 2009?

Question

When I was test driving one a few weeks ago, the dealer said he'd heard that there were going to be a few changes made in 2009. I'd love to buy one, but not if there's a new and improved one coming out a few months down the line! Can't find out any more information on the web, so was wondering if anybody else knew what's going on.

Answer 1

They most likely will not do anything major. The 3-Series stayed the same from 2006 to 2008, the 5-Series stayed the same from 2004-2008, the 7-Series stayed the same from 2002-2005, the X3 stayed the same from 2004-2006, and the X5 stayed the same from 2004-2006. most likely expect a change in 2010.

But, I would buy this year's model because it is very symbolic for BMW bringing the 1-Series to the US. You can tell because right above the area where you click to start the engine, it says "First year of the 1." I think that is kind of interesting.

Good Luck

Answer 2

1 series and 318 BMW are just to say i have a bmw like porsche and the boxter and mercedes and the kompressor just save up for a 3 series it is well worth it trust me... its just a 5000 difference and think about save a little more and you will be content instead of regretting it when you buy the 1 series..

Answer 3

Go for a 3 series, nice cars.

Answer 4

I don't think it will change that soon in the US for you to worry.

Also, I would suggest just pay a lil bit more and get the 3 series if you can. Its a much better car in the road test comparison reports that I have seen. Hope this helps.
