The BMW 1 Series (F52) is a subcompact executive sedan made in China, unlike the other variations of the BMW 1 Series, which are manufactured in BMW's plants Leipzig and Regensburg. This vehicle has been built specifically for the Chinese and Mexican markets by BMW Brilliance, a joint venture between BMW and Brilliance Auto.[2]
Overview
Unlike other BMW 1 Series cars of the time, it uses the front-wheel drive UKL platform.[3] It was first shown at Auto Guangzhou in 2016, and sales started in China in February 2017.[4] Due to its success in the Chinese market the BMW F52 was later sold in Mexico in 2018.[5]
However, despite local success of the car, BMW does not have any plans to produce the 1 Series for any other markets, besides what was originally intended.
The M sport version went on sale in Mexico on 21 October 2019.[6]
