BMW CS1

The BMW CS1 is a compact four-seat convertible concept that BMW presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2002. It was shown to suggest how a small BMW might look in future and how the brand's range could grow in the compact class in the coming years. According to the source it is not a shrunken version of another model but keeps the traits typical of the Munich company, including the kidney grille flanked by newly shaped light units, sharply drawn flanks, wheels set far out at the corners and a sharp shoulder line that runs on over the boot lid. A 1.8 litre four-cylinder Valvetronic engine with variable inlet valve timing sits lengthwise under the bonnet, makes 115 horsepower and 175 Nm, and drives the rear wheels.
