If you remember a while back, we owned a 2016 BMW M135i LCI for a period of time. Here's our thoughts on the new one.

Nice review, great to see someone reviewing the car and not spending the entire time comparing it to the m140i

[@LewF20]

Good to see a review actually reviewing this car ‘as a car’ and not comparing it to the F20. I agree with your comments, as an all round package, this car is better!

[@rhr80s]

Great review!

[@markrhoden68]

This sounds like, dare I say it a grown up review of this car. If the enthusiasts aren't happy then buy a full M car, BMW still sell them. I hear tears over the m140i from enthusiast, why in anything but perfect conditions it's power was down right dangerous without an LSD. I own a m140i and in a straight line it's great but cars with smaller engines Golf r S3 A35 on twisty roads are far better. I live in the UK it rains a lot 340hp with rear drive is pointless. Can't wait for my new m135i if for no other reason than when it rains it can still be a fun car to drive

That glorious inline 6 will surely be missed..

[@markrhoden68]

It's still out there and will be for a few years yet, its just a matter if you're willing to pay for cars with it in, new cars with the 'glorious 6 cylinder' engines aren't cheap infact the latest m240i will cost £50,000+

[@shiv135]

@@markrhoden68 yeah very true, you can get the B58 in the new m240i but I doubt we'll ever see a 6 pot in a 1 series anymore

[@Murph_82]

Well done 👏🏼👏🏼 that should shut the m140 muppets up

[@I_am_Monty]

It's good to hear balanced review. Nice work. Put the car in Neutral and you can rev it past 4k

[@Somnospeed]

You can also rev past 4k when it's fully warmed up to proper oil temp.

[@I_am_Monty]

@@Somnospeed good to know

[@Lmbarrett83]

What model year is this car? I was led to believe the upshift cracks were wiped out. No pops and or crackles (apart from start up)

[@sbeck123]

It depends on the market. European cars from early 2020 had the pops & bangs mapped out to meet the requirements of emissions legislation. Non-EU markets did not require the mapping to be changed.

[@savageZ4]

Which Gearbox do they now use?

[@sbeck123]

It’s an Aisin 8 speed, torque converter.

Did you just call yourself old in the title 😂

[@TheAutomotiveLife]

The Automotive Life definitely 😂
