In 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/08\/19\/bmw-1-series-and-bmw-2-series-gran-coupe-individual-colors\/\">BMW expanded their Individual program<\/a> to cover the current generation BMW 1 Series Hatchback and the 2 Series Gran Coupe. Therefore, if Twilight Purple might be too flashy for your taste, BMW has you covered. Not only you can go for classic colors, such as Dakar Yellow, Imola Red, Rosso Corsa, Le Mans Blue, Daytona Violet or Fire Orange, but also for newer paintworks: Urban Green, Miami Blue, Mexico Blue, Verde Mantis, Ametrin, Zanzibar, Macao Blue and much more.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even more interesting is the addition of an expensive paint job to a fairly inexpensive color. For example, this 2023 BMW 118i SE starts at 27,825 GBP while most Individual colors are in 3,000-4,000 GBP range. Unchanged for the 2022 model year, the 2022 BMW 1 Series hatchbacks are powered by turbocharged petrol engines. The BMW 118i models are using by a 1.5-liter turbo three-cylinder engine producing 136 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that powers the front wheels, or a six-speed manual gearbox. Naturally, the 2022 BMW 118i won\u2019t have the performance of its M-lite brother \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/09\/12\/buyers-guide-bmw-m135i-m140i\/\">M135i<\/a> \u2013 so 0 to 62 mph is rated at 8.9 seconds.
