The 1 series represents an unusually high level of modular

outsourcing for BMW

: French partsmaker Faurecia

supplies the complete front-end m

odule; Germ

an supplier

ThyssenKrupp delivers the front and rear axle assemblies; and

Spain’s Grupo Antolin provides the 1 series’ headliner. Suppliers

were closely involved in the developm

ent of the architecture,

which also w

ill enable dealer-delivered software upgrades. The

1 series, BMW

’s first car in the entry-premium

segment, is built

in Regensburg, Germ

any.
