AutoGuide‘s spy photographers recently caught the BMW 1 Series on camera, revealing a minor facelift to the German automaker’s entry-level model.

Though the changes are subtle, BMW has updated the front-end design on the 1 Series with newly-designed air intakes while the kidneys in the front grille gets a new shape to them. While it’s not confirmed, BMW could also be tweaking the design of the headlights on the 1 Series, which have been receiving a lot of criticism since their debut.

    Wow, I totally did not know Europe got a hatchback version of this. Of course they do. It looks like such a better option than the coupe we have... goodness gracious America, get with it.
