Tyres for BMW 1 Series

The BMW 1 Series is a small family car but still full of luxury, first introduced in 2004 and was the successor to the BMW Compact. In 2004, the 1 Series was only available in a 5-door hatchback. This changed in 2007 when BMW introduced 3 different options, the 3-door hatchback, 2-door Coupe and then Convertible. Both the Coupe and Convertible are now only available in the 2 Series models which was released in 2014.
