Press kit: The BMW Concept 1 Series tii.

Description in Brief: 2 The BMW Concept 1 Series tii: 4

Character:
• Design study based on the BMW 1 Series Coupé with an uncompromising focus on
motorsport.

• BMW Concept 1 Series tii as a young interpretation of classic BMW brand
values.

• Implementation of specific requirements for motorsport ensured through the
design of the car.

• Design study following the tradition of BMW's compact, light and extremely
sporting coupés. The characteristic features of models particularly successful
in motorsport have gone straight into BMW Concept 1 Series tii.

• BMW Concept 1 Series tii underlines the extremely sporting potential and the
youthful, temperamental character of the BMW 1 Series. The design study raises
the focus on pure driving pleasure already associated with the BMW 1 Series
Coupé to an even higher standard.

• As the fifth concept car presented by BMW in 2007 alone, BMW Concept 1
Series tii clearly demonstrates the exceptional bandwidth covered by the
world's leading manufacturer of premium cars. Following the BMW M3 Concept Car,
the BMW Concept CS and the BMW Concept X6/BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid, BMW
Concept 1 Series tii stands out as a unique symbol of maximum driving pleasure
also in the compact segment.

Exterior:
• Through its unique, completely different design, BMW Concept 1 Series tii
clearly emphasises its outstanding potential in driving dynamics.

• Optimised aerodynamics on the body with individual, distinctive design of
the front air dam, side-sills and rear air dam. Special gurney flaps generating
additional downforce on the rear axle.

• Further enhancement of agility and efficiency through consistent lightweight
engineering using carbon components inter alia on the engine compartment lid,
the mirror caps, and the inlays for the front air intakes at the side.
Significant reduction of weight versus series production cars.

• Sporting, accentuated, contrasting and, at the same time, typical BMW colour
scheme on the exterior and interior. The body colour Alpine White is combined
with the very dark carbon structure of the CFP elements, with further
highlights added in Blue.

• BMW Concept 1 Series tii takes up striking features of former motorsport
models in many of its details: fins along the engine compartment lid to
optimise the flow of air, contrasting colour scheme on the engine compartment
lid, decal strips on the roof of the car and the rear lid in contrasting
colour, visible, open towing fixture.

Interior:
• Authentic interpretation of specific motorsport standards through the
concept of the interior design as well as colours and material design.

• Sports bucket seats with integrated headrests and side airbags, three-spoke
sports steering wheel and gearshift knob with alcantara cover, model-specific
door linings, door closing handles and armrest on the driver's side.

• The contrasting colour scheme (Black, White, Blue) and the various functions
and features derived from motorsport also characterise the interior of BMW
Concept 1 Series tii.

• The white rev counter highlights this instrument of particular significance
in motorsport, the sports steering wheel with its white spokes and trim taking
up the exterior colour scheme.

• Use of dark alcantara on the door linings and the instrument panel prevents
reflections and accentuates the driver-oriented design and configuration of the
cockpit. Alcantara on the seats, the steering wheel rim and the gearshift knob
optimises side support and, respectively, the driver's grip.

• The newly developed structure tissue for the footwell accentuates the
sporting and functional character of the interior.
