BMW 1 Series Facelift Still Being Tested, M135i Spied In Scandinavia

It's been a minute since we last heard about BMW's refreshed 1 Series, but testing continues on the small hatchback. A new video recently shared on YouTube from CarSpyMedia captures several prototypes in action, testing near the Arctic Circle for cold weather performance.

It's a completely different setting from our previous sighting in August 2022, but the cars appear to have the same amount of camouflage. A full swirl wrap covers the entire body, though we believe it's mostly for show. The notable changes will happen at the front, where panels beneath the camo conceal a grille that looks slightly wider. That complements narrower headlights, and the lower fascia will be redesigned though at this point, it's tough to suss out specific changes. At the very least, we expect new corner vents. Images from our previous sighting (below) offer clear shots from warmer days.
