The m135i has almost perfect 50:50 weight distribution.

Putting weight behind the back axle will decrease downforce on the front axle, making it more prone to aquaplaning and understeer and increase braking distance and fuel consumption.

The M135i is a very fast car with wide, low profile tyres. It needs to be driven carefully in the wet, like every other high performance sports car. German autobahns with no speed limit in the dry are limited to 80 kph in the wet, for good reason
