It's the new 2013 BMW M135i, It's out of production. And that's sad for those who think M cars should be a light and pure connection between the road and a driver's nerve endings. The M135i is part of a new line of cars called M Performance Automobiles. They're positioned as midway point between full-bore M cars and regular production BMWs. The new 2013 BMW M135i goes on sale in Europe this fall and at 39,850 euros. Let’s see an excerpt from Images and review:
The standard 18-inch M light alloy wheels on the BMW M 135i are fitted with tyres of differing sizes: 225/40 R18 on the front axle and 245/35 R18 on the back. The high grip tyres, designed specifically for this model, guarantee that both the acceleration torque and the braking torque are optimally transmitted to the road surface.
The M135i gets its own unique suspension tuning compared to the standard 1 Series hatchback, along with standard M Sport brakes that feature fixed calipers and larger discs front and rear. The steering setup still isn’t as aggressive as the 1M coupe, and the M135i doesn’t get as many aluminum suspension parts, but the cars end up weighing within 60 pounds of each other.
Unlike the 1M coupe, the M135i can be ordered with an automatic, an eight-speed unit in this case that includes paddle shifters. Thus configured, the 135i will zoom-flick, zoom-flick, zoom-flick through the gears to 62 mph in just 4.9 seconds according to BMW. Go for the six-speed manual and the time actually rises to 5.1 seconds because its wider-spaced ratios are less speedily swapped.
The 3.0-liter straight-6 in the 2013 BMW M135i is rated at 315 hp, or 20 hp less than the 1M’s version of the same engine. Both cars deliver 332 pound-feet of torque, although the M135i’s torque peak arrives 200 rpm earlier at 1,300 rpm.
