A rear-wheel drive small sports car is what makes the BMW 1-Series distinct from other automobiles in its class. Introduced in 2004 as a five-door hatchback, this car has its engine longitudinally-mounted. It also features a 50:50 weight balance and an advanced aluminum multilink suspension. Many of the parts of the BMW 1-Series are the same as those in the E90 3, one of the models of its immediate predecessor, the BMW 3-Series. These similar components include a trapezoidal-link rear axle and MacPherson struts in the car’s front.
Relatively a more affordable model, the BMW 1 ranked among the best-selling BMW cars in its first year in the market, with close to 150,000 units sold. The BMW 1-Series was upgraded in 2007 with the introduction of a three-door model which incorporated modifications in the car’s interior, as well as in its taillights and headlights. The dashboard was also updated and a recommended gear indicator installed for manual transmission models.

BMW 1-Series Review
In my opinion, the BMW 330i is one such vehicle that is really hard to hate, unless you hate all good things in general.
