BMW F21 M135i: Hot Rod Hatchback. Shooting Brake's UK Road Review

[@Birmingham_racing]

There's a reason why everyone seems to love these

[@shootingbrake]

Definitely. Future cult classic

[@dair919]

Owned one of these in-period. Back then this car offered so much performance for your money, circa 30k for a RWD 6 cylinder with over 330 BHP. Amazing, even to this day!

[@shootingbrake]

I still remember the shockwaves and anticipation when the M135i's pricing and power was released. A future classic

[@dair919]

I must have watched C Harris' at least a thousand times before taking delivery mine lol

[@AliAkbar-qq1nd]

In love with car, a shame insurance is bonkers on these and the m140i’s

[@shootingbrake]

Yes insurance can be very difficult at the moment. I think the market will cool down soon however. It's a great time to get into a fast F series BMW atm

[@carmadnab]

as brilliant as the ZF8 is, I really wish you could get your hands on a manual one to give us your thoughts

[@shootingbrake]

Hopefully! Review of our 6-speed F82 coming soon also.

Problem is most of these are trashed by now. The OG M135i has been through a few owners and a few who probably just drove the a$$ out of it. Lots of nasty stuff about. But, find a good low owner, well maintained car and you’ve got a hoot!

I bought a 140i then COVID struck could hardly use it, it was bonkers fast
