2009 BMW 1-Series

The all-new coupe and convertible are supposed to evoke the iconic 2002, but there?s little resemblance between this new performance coupe and the stripped-down sedan from last century. The 4-seater is powered by a 230-hp naturally aspirated six in 128i models, offered with a manual or automatic, while a twin-turbo six with 300 hp motivates the 135i coupe, which is available only with a manual.

2009 BMW M6

As with its 4-door stablemate, the 6 Series continues into 2009 with only minor adjustments to paint colors and options lists. The rumored twin-turbo 635i hasn?t shown up on the radar yet, but we?re still hoping BMW puts the remarkable engine into the svelte 6er.
