context_page_description: The BMW 1 Series is a range of subcompact executive cars manufactured by BMW since 2004. It is the successor to the BMW 3 Series Compact and is currently in its third generation.
  The first generation was produced in hatchback, coupe and convertible body styles. Since the second generation, the coupé and convertible models have been marketed as the 2 Series, therefore the 1 Series range no longer includes these body styles. A sedan model became available for the Chinese market in 2017.
  The 1 Series is BMW's entry level of model range. Unusually for a small car, the 1 Series range is mostly rear-wheel drive, with optional all-wheel drive being available on some models.
  An M version was produced for the first generation: the BMW 1 Series M Coupe, which was succeeded by the BMW M2.
context_section_description: The 1 Series (F52) is a four-door sedan that began production in 2017 in China. It is made by BMW Brilliance, a joint venture between BMW and Brilliance Auto. The F52 uses the front-wheel-drive UKL platform shared with the X1 (F48) and Mini Hatch. The car is also sold by BMW in Mexico starting in 2018.
