Here are the guys of the thing:
BMW is planning a subtle facelift for its 1-Series Hatchback sold overseas, as these latest spy shots reveal. The shots include prototypes for both the three- and five-door models, and confirm that the look of the 1-Series is being updated at both ends of the car. An earlier prototype only showed changes at the front.
The current generation of the 1-Series Hatchback was !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , so the car is due for its mid-cycle update sometime next year. The new model is expected to feature changes to the headlights, grille and bumpers. It looks like the design will see the edges of the headlights meet the grille, similar to what we see on the latest BMW models. The interior also appears to be getting a few tweaks plus the latest in infotainment goodies.

The changes are most likely aimed at bringing the somewhat awkward look of the current 1-Series Hatchback into line with that of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (the two share most of their internals). The new look should also help boost the 1-Series' appeal against the stylish Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class compact car rivals.

In the engine department, expect to see BMW's new
turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder
finally offered as a replacement for the old four-cylinder units developed with Peugeot. Four-cylinder versions of the new 1-Series, meanwhile, should get BMW's latest 2.0-liter turbo four already offered in the latest MINI Cooper. Finally,
should continue with its 3.0-liter turbo six intact, although we could see some increases from the current model's output of 320 horsepower and 332 pound-feet.

Look for a reveal early next year, with sales in Europe to commence by next spring.

Instead, we'll be getting the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and eventually a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

BMW keeps ruining everything they touch, it's almost like self destruction. Diluting the brand and alienating enthusiasts.
MINI = RUINED
BMW = RUINED
ROLLS-ROYCE = RUINED
Keep up the good work!

I'm tired of hearing that. Catering to lazy badge whores will only work for a while, and then the enthusiasts will have moved to another brand and BMW will die.

I just don't understand how BMW can't make the hatchback version safe. I feel like they are just continuing their tradition of not giving the US their best things.

Well the rest of the world is a bigger market then the US and because that they can sell to who ever and make money regardless. Also it might be too expensive to sell here while it would be like half the price else where.
