More about The BMW 1 Series

The BMW Head-Up Display projects information relevant to the journey directly into the drivers’ field of vision. Making it much easier for the driver to concentrate on their driving rather than focusing on road signs. Information such as current speed, navigation directions, speed limit info, and even a no-overtaking indicator.

When exploring rough terrain, the BMW XDrive supports the driver by smoothly distributing the drive power to the front and rear wheels for enhanced traction, driving dynamics and safety. The Adaptive suspension adjusts the damper characteristics to suit the driving situation. It also combines ride comfort and driving dynamics to enable the best possible safety. The driver can enhance their driving experience by choosing between standard Comfort mode or Sport Mode.

What's my Towing Capacity?

The BMW 1 Series has an approximate towing weight of 1500KG; however, this is determined by the model of the vehicle. The best way to receive an accurate towing capacity for your vehicle is by checking your vin plate. This is usually located under the bonnet or on the passenger door sill. Our sales team will be happy to help if you need any further assistance.

Which Towbar is best for my vehicle?

The BMW 1 Series has plenty of options available when it comes to picking the perfect Towbar.

The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for those who do not wish to remove the Towbar after they have finished towing, although the chunkier design is known for causing some interference from the rear parking sensors. The fixed flange towbar is great for pairing with towing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt on cycle carriers. The accessories use the bolt on plate at the rear of the towbar meaning the driver is able to use the accessories at the same time as towing.

The fixed swan neck towbar has a thinner towbar neck to the fixed flange towbar and therefore is less likely to be detected by parking sensors; however, this is not guaranteed. This is a great option for those who prefer a sleeker-looking towbar but do not want to remove it after towing is completed. The fixed swan neck is compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and can be used with all cycle carriers that clamp on to the towball.

The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.

Will it need a bumper cut?

When fitting a towbar to the BMW 1 Series, a non-visible bumper cut will be required; this modification will only be noticeable when looking at the vehicle’s underskirt. Please be aware that some vehicles may need to be modified further due to the range of bumper styles available for the 1 Series. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with our sales team for more information on bumper cuts on specific models.
