While BMW Malaysia is still gearing up for the introduction of the 1-Series here at long last, Munich is already preparing the LCI mid-life facelift for the 1-Series, which we see here on test.
If the camo-ed areas represent the areas that will be changed, then it looks like the 1-Series will be going through a minor facelift, much like the F10 5-Series LCI. The camo is placed on the exact same locations as the other 1-Series our spy photographers sighted back in August.
There's no camo on the headlamps, which to me is the thing that needs the most change on the 1-Series. The arrangement of the lenses in the headlamp makes the 1-Series look awkward - if a car's front end is supposed to represent a face, what kind of facial expression makes one's eyes slant that way?
We've already seen nearly undisguised prototypes of the 2-Series (coupe version of the 1-Series) with a completely revamped front end featuring sharper and most importantly normal-looking front lights - dare we hope the 1-Series LCI will use those headlamps instead?
