2013 BMW M135i Compact Hot Hatch with True M Spirit
The BMW M135i brings the performance, dynamics and driving fun of BMWs M-division into a compact, practical hatch thats perfect as a daily driver while still having the power and feel of a performance car. With its 3.0L turbocharged straight-six engine, rear-wheel drive, and sporty chassis tuning, the M135i delivers a balance of usability and excitement that few cars can match.
When compared to other premium hatchbacks and small performance cars such as the S3, Golf GTI, or A 45 AMG, the M135i stands out for several reasons:
Engine & Performance Its 3.0 L turbo six delivers smoother, more linear power and better torque compared with many four-cylinder turbo rivals.
Rear-Wheel Drive Dynamics While many rivals use all-wheel-drive or front-wheel-drive, the M135i retains the classic rear-wheel drive balance, giving more engaging handling, lighter feel, and a more true driving Car sensation.
Driver Engagement Crisp steering, solid chassis and BMWs driving feel make the M135i more involving than many hot hatches that focus solely on straight-line speed.
For buyers who value driving feel, character and balance over just brute power, the M135i delivers a package that is hard to surpass.
