I have the Hartge unit on my F21 and am very pleased with the results. Even more so now with the M Exhaust. 375 HP and 400FtLb of Torque. Pretty awesome to drive and not in the least ruined.

I would add to the comments above that BMW has to slot in the M135i in a niche so it doesn't disturb their range or threaten M3 sales. But what they've actually delivered is a modder's dream.

To my mind the M Performance range is almost an invitation to modify. No constraints about using turbos, so no argument from the M purists. Big engine, little car. Lots of accessories if you want. And starting at a price that is surprisingly reasonable for the badge, the engine and the toys.

To make this all work what they've done is bake in lots of potential. It's up to the owner to decide whether to unlock this or not.
