The BMW German carmaker is reportedly working on the 1-Series Sedan, as more and more rumors and renderings are starting to show up via the internet, which is also the case of this particular rendering seen below.

The rendering with the BMW 1-Series Sedan is showing the model tweaked with some extraordinary BMW design features, like the company`s recent angular and sleek headlights, upright nose or the “stance of a 2-Series Active Tourer.”

The future BMW 1-Series Sedan will come with a front-wheel drive layout, which is also used on other future models and will thus complete the gap between the 1-Series Hatch and the F30 3-Series Sedan. The model will also use have the same size as the E46 3-Series.

As for the powertrains it will sport, the BMW 1-Series Sedan is believed to come with a wide choice of engines, like three- or four-cylinder inline direct-injection petrols, as well as common-rail diesel engines.

The BMW 1-Series Sedan will be launched somewhere in 2017 and will face the top predators like Mercedes-Benz CLA or the Audi A3 Sedan.

The BMW German based automaker is still unsure whether to use a front-wheel drive layout or not for the upcoming 2-Series Coupe and Convertible versions.

We are talking about some rumors coming from the already famous BMW insider Scott26/27, who has found out that the carmaker is somehow determined to put the 2-Series on a FWD platform.

To be a reminder, the BMW carmaker launched the first 2-Series lineup with a rear-wheel drive system, with the 2-Series Active Tourer car family to be the first model using the new UKL platform, meaning a front-wheel drive layout.

Decisively, the BMW automaker might be somehow inclined of moving forward with a future generation 2-Series lineup, both convertible and coupe, that would stay on the same FWD platform.

The BMW board will soon have to decide on this awkward situation, especially since other rumors also mentions the possibility of the 1-Series lineup to be standing on the carmaker`s new UKL platform in the near future as well.

According to some reports released by Autocar, BMW German based automaker is planning to launch eight SUVs by 2020, which would be something revolutionary in terms of innovation and technology investments.

We are talking about a range of SUVs starting with a compact X1 FWD, to a more sporty X8 model, derived from the X7 seven-seat.

Even if the German automaker hasn’t confirmed the whole eight SUVs, there is one of them that has already been planned by BMW.

First, BMW is planning a future X1, standing on the new UKL platform, with a front-wheel drive layout, while the future X2 will share the platform with the new MINI and the 2-Series Active Tourer.

Next in line, the X3 will be coming in 2017, with no details so far, yet we do know that the BMW X4 already launched, will be followed by an M Performance model as well.

The X5 model will soon be followed by an M version as well, rumored to sport a 4.4-liter V8 unit, while the higher X6 will be coming with a more masculine design.

Finally, the BMW X7 and X8 will be closely related, as the latter one will be based on the X7, promising to be much sportier in order to successfully compete against the future Audi Q8.

BMW has been teasing us with some rumors for some time now, concerning the launch of the next generation of the Active Tourer, which seemed to be quite false in terms of specs and details.

The long expected 2 Series Active Tourer, rendered with a rear-wheel system, is in fact the BMW`s first front-wheel drive sedan ever launched, ready to hit the American auto dealers next year.

Since it is a premiere for the German automaker to put an FWD system on its Tourer, significant changes have also been made to its wheelbase, coming with much more cargo space.

The BMW FWD 2 Series Active Tourer sports almost the same looks as its previous versions, except for some finer lines and blunter nose.

As for the interior though, the 2 Series Active Tourer has been modified for better usage, featuring a sliding rear seat, backrests which can now be adjustable, automatic tailgate or panoramic sunroof.

The Tourer lineup will be equipped with 3 engines. The 218i Active Tourer will sport a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder, followed by the 225i Active Tourer with 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, finishing with the 218d Active Tourer with 2.0-liter turbodiesel and 148 hp.
