Product Overview
BMW 1 Series E87 LCI 5-door is a compact hatchback in production from 2007 to 2011. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 1.6 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the E87 LCI primarily updated the engine lineup. Notably, the new and unreliable N54 petrol and N47 diesel engines entered the game, to the detriment of the reputation of a generation of BMWs.
BMW also introduced a 3-door variant of the 1 Series with chassis code E81 as well as 2-door coupe E82 and convertible E88.
