Strange how so many hang on to the fact the M135i is not a real M car!? When the M135i was launched, it was lauded as one of the best BMW drivers cars currently available, eclipsing current real M cars.
I just have read how the M6 disgraces the tradition in the MT Best Drivers Car 2013 contest and has his ass handed over in all and every single one of the divisions that matter to a drivers car. I reckon the M6 is currently the halo car of M, the X5M and X6M will probably not be better track dancers either, or would it be the outgoing E91 maybe? the M5 is placed almost generally behind the M6 as a drivers car. Or maybe we all have to assume that an M6 is not a real focussed car and never intended to be... the performance pack will make all the difference then? So, conclusion: including all M candy available in the catalog, BMW has nothing better to offer to driver enthousiasts than the M135i. |

But how often do the bump stops come into play anyway? I guess you have to throw the car around rather briskly to compress the springs all the way onto the bump stops. I have never felt them in the 116i, so I guess they come into play in a very soft way. Firm bump stops can be very annoying, as it suddenly changes the balance of the car.
