The good news is that BMW will stick to the traditional front-engine, rear-drive layout when it extends its range into VW Golf territory. The thinking is that any BMW should offer a pure driving experience and appeal to the enthusiast no matter what market segment it is in. The CS1 concept features BMW's 1.8-litre Valvetronic engine from the 316ti Compact hooked up to a version of the semi-manual SMG six-speed gearbox. The 1-series - which will be offered as a hatch, coupe or convertible - won't feature BMW's famed straight-six engines.
