BMW Australia has significantly upped the pricing of the third-generation 1 Series small hatch six months after its launch.
The entry-level 118i has risen $3000, to $45,990 plus on-road costs, while the flagship M135i has jumped $4000, to $68,990. For reference, the latter receive its first adjustment (+$1000) in February.
A BMW Australia spokesperson told CarsGuide no changes have been made to standard specification, as the company “constantly reviews its pricing structure, factoring in the exchange rate, inflation and changes to material costs”.
As such, the 118i is still motivated by a 103kW/220Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol three-cylinder engine, while the M135i is powered by a 225kW/450Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit.
The former is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, while the latter uses an eight-speed torque-converter unit and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
For reference, the 1 Series rivals hatch versions of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Audi A3.
