Video: Chris Harris Reviews BMW M135i vs Audi RS3 on Road, Track and Dragstrip

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, 04:36 PM

Oh yeah baby!

ovekvam · 10-17-2012, 04:40 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, 04:56 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.

evans4you · 10-17-2012, 08:10 PM

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

bimmerjph · 10-17-2012, 08:29 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, 09:16 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, 09:48 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, 09:58 PM

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

Darthartur · 10-17-2012, 09:59 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.
