Bimmertoday reports a rumor from Auto Bild that the next generation BMW 1 Series is due out in 2016 and will be using the new front-wheel drive platform (UKL). This is the same platform used by BMW Concept Active Tourer and F56 MINI. Rumors of three cylinder turbo engines with a displacement of 1.5 liter is also circulating the interwebs. This will provide more power to the higher-end 1er models. The first 1 Series Sedan is also rumored to be in the works.
