Consequently, we believe the oil-burner will retain the 118d moniker, and so will the more potent 120d believed to be available upon launch. To recap, rumor has it that BMW intends to sell the next-gen 1 Series from day one in 118, 118d, 120d, and M135 xDrive flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Could this change gradually have an impact on the whole lineup? It\u2019s too soon to say but if BMW wants to have a cohesive nomenclature, it would make sense for all gas cars to eventually lose the \u201ci\u201d at the end of their names.<\/p>\n<p>If sources close to BMW can be trusted, the F70-generation 1 Series will be built from July 2024 until June 2030. It would mean the official reveal is roughly a year away.
