1 Series [Official] The BMW M135i

[DeDe]

What you need in this situation is AWD.

Yeah, because an AWD-car brakes better on cold surfaces...

 

[klier]

Of that was a dig to the ribs of Klier. LOL

Get a life kid.

Come on DeDe, it was a joke.

Get a life kid.

Pot calling the kettle black. LOL

 

[Giannis]

Stay on topic people!

 

[DeDe]

I made some calculations with the manual- and automatic-versions of the M135i, just before Sport Auto releases the Supertest of the manual-version.

Huge differences.

 

[martinbo]

Gear ratios: the mother of all acceleration.

 

[Zafiro]

But nonetheless, manual all the way.....

Bravo, bravo, DeDe!!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic these charts. L-O-V-E them!

BTW, it might be an idea to put the M135i xDrive there too, just for giggles (and to make it make fair against RS3 perhaps)

Thank you. As far as I know, there are no M135i x-Drive tests, yet.

Why is the braking so much worse on the sport cups?

What the M135i needs is a LSD, not more power.

 

[DeDe]

Why is the braking so much worse on the sport cups?

Because of the not optimal cooperation between the stock ABS and the semi-slicks tyres.

God knows how many people just don't consider buying this car because of that hideous front-end. BMW fix that only issue & that car is just about perfect performance hatch out there right now. All that power in a small box must be mad fun to drive!

 

[Mr Robert]

Tonight I dreamt that BMW had made this car with a 3-series-like front...

 

[bmwownage]

they won't, who would buy a 335 if this looked as good as the 3? i for one didn't go for a 1er because of that hideous front that i really seriously cannot accept my car to have. hopefully they can sliiiightly improve that ugly front in LCI, i don't hope for a lot, just that slight alteration to transform it from hideous to normal.

imo though, the F30 needs a bit of a fix too, it doesn't look perfect yet, there is something about the front that doesn't work out too well, and i'd say the rear can be more aggressive given that deadly front.

 

[Levi68]

I think BMW 2 Series Coupé and 4 Series GranCoupé are the next BMW cars to consider.
