The first generation BMW 1 Series, collectively known as the E8x, was introduced for the 2005 model year. The first generation was built in various bodystyles, including 3 Door Hatchback (E81), 5 Door Hatchback (E87), Coupe (E82), and Convertible (E88). The most notable of the first generation 1 Series variants is the coveted BMW 1M, while other variants include the 116i, 125i, 128i, 130i, 135i, and 135is. It is common to find E8x Race Cars as well. BMW has never sold 1 Series hatchbacks in North America, only offering the coupe and convertible variants. Production of the BMW E8x 1 Series ended in 2013, and the generation was replaced by the F20 BMW 1 Series.
