Last year at the Tokyo Motor Show 2007 BMW presented the 1-Series tii Concept, a design study that represents the evolution of BMW’s compact two-door with a clear focus on uncompromising sportiness. At that moment BMW has announced that the concept will see production and here are the first spy shots that prove that: the 135ii production version scoped by
1addicts.com. As seen from the spy shots the production version will stay fateful to the concept: revised front fascia, side skirts, carbon fiber diffuser and matching rear wing. The concept was made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFP) to save weight and probably this will also happen with the production version.
Apart from the components made of CFP, the front air dam, the side-sills and the rear bumper as well as the rear lid are all brand-new in design. The objective in this design process was to optimise the car’s aerodynamic qualities, consistently reflecting the extremely dynamic commitment of BMW Concept 1 Series tii.
To meet the particular requirements made of such a car, the structure of the front air dam differs significantly from the air dam in regular production models: The particularly muscular side air intakes are coated inside with CFP and the front air dam comes on both sides with so-called air splitters.
