Tokyo auto show: BMW 1-Series tii concept

BMW treads hallowed ground with the initials "tii."

^M00:00:01 [ Music ] ^M00:00:05 >> When BMW drops out the initials tii they'd better not screw around because that's Halo Ground so here's how they chose to tread there again. The BMW 1-Series tii-the body is more substantial than a standard 1-series. The black parts are carbon fiber panels by the way. Inside this goes way past what any of the 1600's and 2002's ever did, racing style shell buckets. That whole Alcantara interior thing on the wheel, seats, the door panels. I know it's the performance look at the moment but it still looks ghetto to me. And no they didn't run out of matching instruments. The Tach is supposed to be white to make it the main event on the instrument panel. BMW is mum on what kind of engine might lie behind that unusual version of the traditional dual kidney grill. ^M00:00:57 [ Music ] ^M00:01:04
