BMW PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE M135i

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Brilliant and thorough examination of the M135i in the May edition of BMW PERFORMANCE! Worth the read!!

CONCLUSION: Quote BPM.......You no longer have to have both a sensible car and a weekend toy. With this M135i you can have it all in one package, meaning you will a smile on your face Monday through Friday, not just on Saturday and Sunday.

Also of interest the Tuners View featured in BPM

Mmmmmm

Precisely the reason I bought the M135i. With adaptive suspension, 8 speed AT and paddles you get a motorway cruiser or back road blaster at the flick of a switch. I sold my X5 and Z4M and am perfectly happy with their replacement. If anything, the M135i feels faster than the Zee due to its diesel-like low down torque. Only thing it can't do is drop its roof, which was nice on the 2 sunny weekends per year we get in the UK.

Whilst I miss the curves of my 911, I don't miss the Porsche envy it drew from other drivers nor the lack of practicality when it came to moving stuff around.

By contrast the M135i is such an all-rounder you can't help but enjoy it. It blends in when you need it to, blasts hard when you want it to and just begs for tweaking to tap its potential.
