The BMW 1 Series (F52) is a subcompact executive sedan developed and produced for the Chinese market, unlike the other variations of the 1 Series, which are manufactured in BMW's plants in Leipzig and Regensburg. This vehicle is manufactured by BMW Brilliance, a joint venture between BMW and Brilliance Auto.[3]

Overview[]

Unlike the BMW 1 Series hatchback of the time, it uses the front-wheel drive UKL platform.[4] It was first shown at Auto Guangzhou in 2016, and sales started in China in February 2017.[5] Due to its success in the Chinese market, the BMW F52 was later sold in Mexico in 2018.[6] The M Sport version went on sale in Mexico on 21 October 2019.[7] In other markets such as Europe and North America, however, it is not available. Instead, the mechanically similar 2 Series Gran Coupe is offered as BMW's entry-level sedan.
