No change to engine or power output.

I always wondered if they bring out hot "M140i xdrive" to rival the A45s and RS3, but it appears not, so far.........
Certainly wouldn't be a 6 cylinder since this is on the mini platform and hence transverse mount. I guess they could pump up the 4 pot.. but then I guess most buyers in that market would go m240i.

From reading the Autoexpress review it sounds like it's more inline with the JCW clubman now handling wise. I haven't tried a 128ti but will try and get a ride in a 2022 M135i to see if the difference is that noticeable.

I had passive in my M135i but then lowered etc.
Thought the suspension was good but steering lacked feel and was a little dangerously vague at high speed/motorway cruising even. Also funnily enough felt the same magnified in its cousin X2 F39.

A revised M135i would be a very very good car I'd imagine. Ours had more than enough space for full size family of 4 too.

EVO loved ours on passive adjustable RS suspension.

I'd rather buy a 1 series than be a twat....

With regards to styling, I just think the grille surround is too thick. If it were thinner and the same colour as the body paint, I wouldn't be so against the looks. Also the headlights are angled weird.

My other gripe with it... Is that I keep confusing them with the Ford Focus from the side and rear profile...

I'd love to have a go of one mind. Not going to part with my B58 for one though

If I'd had kept mine longer this was one of the mods on my mind. I was going to get the outer grill surround body coloured, think it would help a fair bit.
