Smaller but with a bite bigger than its size. That’s the BMW M135i’s way of doing business. And if I were a small hatchback, I would fear my life on the road, not because Keith is 17 year old that’s learning to drive but at any moment I might have this thing with a odd looking face, come at me from behind and do something we can’t mention here.
Well it will do what it pleases to do with great ease as it features a massive 3.0 litre, TwinTurbo straight six pumping out 320hp/235kw and 400Nm torque. 0-100 km/h is dealt with 5.1 seconds with the manual and 4.9 seconds with the 8-speed automatic box and has to be limited to 250 km/h.
Small 3-door car with a big engine requires a complete suspension set up to make sure it stays and follows the road ahead. Stiffer springs and dampers give the driver every bit of info being fed by the tyres allowing nip and tuck handling. Both the Exterior and interior feature the M division modifications to make it more sporty then what it is and making sure you know exactly what you have gotten yourself into.
A little M5 monster with a big heart making it do things it probably doesn’t know it can do.
