For whom a real M-model BMW is just a little too intense, the brand has
the M Performance models invented. They are slightly less demanding but
still very fast.
The M135i is the first M Performance with gasoline and sets the bar high.
Took
in the first generation to the very last months before a 1-series M-genes came, this time the Germans
make haste. Barely a year after
the new 1-series we first got to know the brand already comes with the
M135i.This is the newest member of the M performance range, although cars are
very fast, but just not as hardcore as 'real' products from the M-stables. It began not so long ago with the
M550d and with the introduction of the M135i is now also an M Performance with
gasoline. And it does not,
because the next few years will significantly expand the range sub-super-sporters.
In perspective:
But back to the present, the M135i.Equipped with a 3.0-liter
six-cylinder that thanks to a twin-scroll turbo up to 320 hp and 450 Nm is. Doesn’t
matter in perspective: that is only 20hp less than the 1 M Coupe, while torque
is equal. In combination with the
8-speed automatic that we know from other BMW models, the famous sprint in less
than 5 seconds and top speed is neat to 250 km / h. When you accelerate, do you not feel
like you are short of, the M135i shoots like an arrow from a bow towards the
horizon. The torque is from about
1,500 revolutions per minute at full strength and that means the M135i in each
of the 8 speeds makes great strides. BMW has also paid attention to the sound
of the cylinder, inside-he is clearly audible. That does not happen in a perfectly
natural way - the speakers guide the engine noise to the interior - but it
sounds no less spectacular for.
