Which compared to fast laps times for the M135i is quite a bit quicker tbh. The M135i clocked the 1/4 Mile in 13.2@109Mph. But are those figures really £6k better than what BMW offer from the M135i, thats the question

Didn't Chris Harris clocked 4.4 to 60 with a 8 Speed auto M135i while he was drag racing an RS3?
I think an xdrive M135i would be pretty close to A45AMG even if AMG would still win. It looks like as fast as a similarly equipped RS3 or TT-RS on a straight line.
The remaining question is if it is as boring as the Audis too. I hope next M2 will not fall in the trap of playing the same game with these DCT/AUTO/ADAPTIVE/4X4 etc. etc. fast little cars and follow its own BMW M roots or think about the Alfa 4C or Renault/Caterham Alpine as the real competition.
