BMW 1 Series was launched in the year 2004. The specialty of this model is that the structural features are unique such as it splits into larger 2 Series with chassis, electronic elements and powertrain hardware. BMW 1 series Hatchback is available in various models such as E81, E87 and E82, E88.
This series has produced remarkable compact cars. It has classic feature as the rear-wheel drive is excellent. The balance is at par excellence with 50:50 with a longitudinally-mounted powerful engine. The advanced and enhanced multilink suspension is one of its great features.
Records have revealed that BMW 1 Series Hatchback has its sales in skies, meaning it is one of the best selling automobiles in world. In fact, it is the second bestselling car. In the year 2008, this car was selected as the best car in terms of comfort and stunning features. However, many countries have noticed a slight change in its decision, but in the end BMW 1 Series Hatchback ruled everything out from its way and it stood like a roaring lion on road.
Hatchback E81, E87: Here, BMW has launched an amazing car with 5-door hatchback. It was first launched in the year 2004 in autumn. Roads were blocked and people were waiting for this time to get their hands on this stunning car. However, it has replaced the other model of BMW- the 3 Series Compact range. BMW 1 Series Hatchback is an ultimate car which can take smooth curves in rough and tough lanes and on roads, this car suits the best. This is the smallest car available and the best feature of this model is that it is affordable unlike other BMW models which are expensive. You can get this car without thinking twice as you will get luxury by not spending a lot of money. By the fall of 2005, BMW 1 Series Hatchback E81, E87 became the best selling models and about 150,500 models were sold alone in Europe.
When the years passed, BMW has emerged with a new model. With the dawn of 2007, BMW launched its enticing 3-door sports hatch variant- E81. This sports Hatch has great features besides being affordable. However, there were no major changes in this model but the headlight and taillights were revised for better enhancements. The interior of this model was not at all changed and the manufacturers have kept everything same.
The indicator has unique light which makes a person feel that the light is coming from some laser beam. This is something which breaks into two by leaving an attractive impression to an onlooker. This model has manual transmission and manually, you can operate this without much effort. The Efficient Dynamics technology has evolved with new power steering and with electric water pump. It has increased performance with lower emissions and start-stop system.
This model probably is the first model in the world to have an updated mild hybrid system in built for standard performance and greater experience.

Electric Mini Tracks Quietly at Nurburgring
The future of motor racing's so quiet I gotta use loud speakers. Yes. Loud speakers pumping out a fake V8 soundtrack while purely electric racers run around race tracks just whizzing around with hardly any sound coming from them. You wouldn't know if an electric race car is coming or going. And its very possible as the BMW Mini is now the first automotive manufacturer that has lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife's 20.8km long distance in a modified racing version of the Mini E. The purely electric Mini E Racer managed to lap the 'Ring in a time of 9minutes 51.45seconds and was timed at the straight at a maximum speed of 187km/h. Not really that fast as it you compare the Renault Megane R26R did it in 8minutes 17seconds, but I suppose it is history in the making.
The Electric Mini E is an all electric powered version of the BMW Mini. It was launched as a field test in June 2009 and was available through leasing to individuals in Los Angeles and the New York/New Jersey areas in the United States. Another batch of 40 Mini E were made available to private users in the United Kingdom for 2 trial periods. The standard Mini E is a front wheel drive car with an electric motor that is mounted in the usual engine bay and makes 204PS and 220Nm of torque. The car utilizes a lithium-ion battery pack with an overall capacity of about 35kilowatt-hours. The batteries weigh 259kg and replaces the back seat. How unpractical for a four seat city car that can only carry two. Top speed is electronically limited to a sedate 153km/h and the car' has a 251km range on a single charge under optimal conditions. Real world estimates for range are about 175km city and 154km highway.
According to the driver, DTM racer Thomas Jager who regularly drives the 'Ring, the Mini E is one of the more unique 'Ring driving experience for him as the electric motor provides instantaneous torque all the way to the top and among the fascinating experiences include the missing engine noise. "All in all, was certainly the cleanest and quietest lap I've ever covered, "said Thomas, who was also the MINI Challenge champion from 2006. At least the car can clear 160km/h unlike the standard one. But do not expect a car like this in an endurance race like the Nurburgring 24 hours. The batteries would only last 6 laps or less with current battery technology. Range is still a problem with this purely electric cars.
And I don't know if this is a good thing or not. Imagine a Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 (winner of many a Nurburgring 24hr race) powering through the night during the Nurburgring 24hours and the Porsche is electric and dead quiet in completing its task. A flat-six Porsche engine at full chat is a wonderful thing. An electric motor is, at the most a very loud blender. As with diesel race cars, that mostly hum loudly, it isn't that interesting. And now if race cars went fully electric, it'll be a another dull, dull and very dull thing to happen. Racing is about speed, smell and noise. Noise that makes your hairs at the back of the neck tingle. That's racing. A car going 'Wheeeeeee' may need a lot of getting used to.
