I believe it's just the 3-door 1-series and the convertible/coupé versions that have frameless windows. As I recall the 5-door 1-series has framed windows.
I live in snow country. I own a garage. I've driven a frameless-door coupe for years. I know appropriate technology and techniques to deal with snow, ice, doors and windows. If I'm spending my money on a new BMW, I'd like to avoid the models with frameless doors.
I've asked a technology question, "do any US 1-series have framed doors?" The question has been answered, "No."
Thank you for the very prompt and helpful information. I now know the 1-series isn't an option for me, and I'm looking at the possibilities in the 3-series.
