M135i XDRIVE waiting for me at the dealer
Dealer called me today to say that got a beautiful M135i XDRIVE and he wants me to take it home!
Sincerely I was not thinking to buy a hatch as I'm more of a coupe lover but the idea is starting to grow on me. I've watched many incredibly positive reviews about the M135 but I'm yet to read or see anything about the X version? What do you guys think of it? Anyone here has one?

Well I own an xdrive but have never driven an s drive m135i. On the other hand I have driven a 335i and well all you get is just better traction during rain and well a faster acceleration 0-100km/h that's all I can say. But no matter x or s drive go for it, it's an amazing drive.

Well as you may know the m135i comes to our country only as an xdrive. The s-drive (rear wheel drive) and manual don't come to the country and I have no idea why. You'd def join an exclusive club though I heard there are only 3 m134i's on the road (white one in broumana, black one in rabieh if not mistaken, and mine the blue one). I also loved from a coupe (scirocco) to this and honestly it isnt that big and quite comfortable if you have long distances to do/being stuck in traffic haha. i am currently not in lebanon will be back by the end of the month though but I hope all is well there? |

Same color as yours, the cars they have in display comes with some packages already ordered or chosen by the dealer... All. Know is that the 135M is selling like pancakes! :-)

Aghhh when I ordered it everything was optional. Hate it how they do it in lebanon. Same thing happened when i got the scirocco. I'm shocked though that they are selling a lot cause its definitely not the cheapest hatchback. Hopefully we can get a nice m135i group going though.
Btw off topic did the a45 amg get to lebanon? I went and asked the dealer before I traveled told me it would cost 100k/110k$, which is insane for a v4. Also in the past 2 months of ownership I havnt seen any m135 on the road. Ohh FYI get ready because you'll have a lot of Gti/r trying to annoy you, but I doubt they'll be able to see the m's taillights hahaha |

I've also had some Hyundai Velosters have a go. Some people just don't understand.

Don't worry. A Ford F150 truck wanted to race me recently. I shouted the guy from open window "I have no chance against you buddy" and avoided the farce

M135i xDrive is a very capable car. Sport auto just did a comparison between the it and the A45, with the A45 winning narrowly. I can't read German but if you are interested in the numbers, here they are:
0-100km 4.9 0-200km 18.8 Hockenheim 1.15.3 Regular M135i (manual) 0-100km 4.9 0-200km 18.1 (RWD loses less HP hence better acceleration at higher speed as expected) Hockenheim 1.15.7 I have the E-edition and I think Sport Auto made a typo because here is what they had for xDrive's in gear acceleration 80-120km 4/5/6/7/8 gear 1.2/2.2/2.8/3.4/4.5 Something is seriously off there....... |

The M135 is already getting close to 100K, 90Ks to be precise and this is already an insane amount of money for a hatch no matter how hot it is... In USA with this amount of money you get 2 hatches, a 135M and an A-45
