This month the UK will get its first sight of the all-new BMW 1 Series thanks to a travelling showcase.

Called the "BMW 1 Series on Tour", the four-week-long exhibition will visit four cities in the UK, bringing with it every variant of 1 Series going on sale.

In September the 1 Series will be available in 116i, 120i, 118d and 120d models with prices starting from £15,690.

The tour begins in George Square, Glasgow, on July 15 for four days before moving on to Times Square in Newcastle from July 22 through to July 25. Then, on July 31 the exhibition will hit the Lowry Plaza in Manchester finally ending at Bristol, for four days starting August 12.

To herald the start of the "BMW 1 Series on Tour" in Glasgow test drives will be available on the first day, on a first come first served basis. At the other three venues a BMW representative will be on hand to arrange a future test drive.

BMW will be offering driving simulator games and photo booths to take your picture inside the car.

A bar and lounge area serving non-alcoholic beverages and ice-creams are also on offer in the city centre.
