We already know what the all-new BMW 1-Series looks like, and drives like, as a 5-door hatch, but how about a 3-door? Well thanks to Chinese portal site sohu.com for exposing these patent/trademark designs, we now have a good idea – just in case the spy photos weren’t good enough.

According to a previous report, BMW will offer the 1-Series in a total of six different body variants.
