And it's also the last RWD 1 Series. Its replacement, the new F40 five-door 1 Series coming in 2019 will be UKL based, so it will be FWD and AWD just like the new F52 1 Series sedan. The F41 three-door will follow soon after. The equivalent of today's I6 powered M140i will be an I4 powered M135i with similar power output (>300hp). Unlike today's M140i it will be AWD only. Lower models (12*) will be offered with a choice of FWD or AWD, while the lowest models (11*) will be FWD only.
