Autocar M135i Review
Autoexpress M135i Review

[eezzee]

Looks good. Nice to see the non M sport model.

[AKRAPOVICOWNS]

Are we going to get the M135 5-door aswell?

[cncmastr]

No U.S. no care.

[mPlasticDesign]

I like the 3-door M135i!

Yes, M135i will be available both as 3-door and 5-door model.


Best regards,
south

[bimmerJP]

Yup, this car look A LOT better with ///M treatment. I kinda like the 1 now.

[JA///MES]

Woo hoo!!! Yet another car with an M badge! Let's just put them on every single car BMW makes so everyone can have an M!!!!

[ellekz]

They're releasing an 114i? Isn't the 116i already underpowered enough?!

[Evice]

I hope M135 series coupe that will be in US, will not have N55. What's the point?

[aajami]

The HP rating on the 125d is a bit high

No idea what you're talking about.

[SomeRandomer123]

Will the 114i be able to move without a good shove?

[eezzee]

Worryingly I prefer the look of the less sporty brown one than the estoril blue m sport one. Design is cleaner and more resolved, if less sporty.

[eezzee]

When is it out? Refers to the 120d available from November.

[Cuz5150]

"M135i won't be available in the US"

such ah cock suckers

[eezzee]

The white 5dr M135i looks best of all.

[joew12]

Sound good
Rush for M335i specs before I order my 2013 335i M pack in june.

[mpm3]

Wish the US was getting the 3 door !

[Zebra99]

Hideous light design for that nice front end...

I'd never buy it just because of that lol. And another member said it..everyone has an M, yay!!! Not lol

[TheBingoBalls]

If you could get passes the hideous headlights, it's actually a good looking car. The interior definitely looks of quality.

[NYe60chrisIU]

no thank you. keep this fake ///m shite out of the states
