This just came on today, hope you enjoy it

Quote:

BMW's M135i [official specs/details] undercuts the RS3 by £10k in base spec, it's only 20hp down and weighs 150kg less. Can a sub M-car beat Audi's premium fast car representation?

Sorry the earlier link didn't work and thanks Ovekam for backing me up there, Cheers.

thanks a lot for sharing - i love the way Chris Harris reviews cars

he certainly knows whats up

Meanie · 10-17-2012, 03:36 PM

Oh yeah baby!

ovekvam · 10-17-2012, 03:40 PM

Maybe Harris doesn't know that there is now a fake differential brake that enables itself when you switch off the DSC? I suspect that is why he didn't have his expected traction problems.

awsome

HasanK · 10-17-2012, 03:56 PM

Yeah this video just put a massive smile on my face. I guess all M135i owners are getting an epic underrated car then

We'll likely get the M235i (or M240i) and the M2.

Chris Harris and Brian Cooley from CNET Car Tech are hands down my favourite reviewers.

bimmerjph · 10-17-2012, 07:29 PM

That must suck if you just bought an RS3.

Both are so different, but oh so good at what they do.

PhillyNate · 10-17-2012, 08:16 PM

What an impressive little car! A little faith has been restored in BMW...a little. Oh, and we can't get it here.

Jatran661 · 10-17-2012, 08:48 PM

38mpg from an n55 ? How come I get 20mpg for the us spec n55? Is it cause theres something to do with the quality of our gas?

jaehshim · 10-17-2012, 08:58 PM

i just can't say it any other way
the bmw is fxxxing ugly....seriously...

Darthartur · 10-17-2012, 08:59 PM

I think we will eventually get it in a coupe version. High end hatchbacks are a tough sell in the USA. For now we have the not boring 135is.
