BMW M135i? from MrBTG on Vimeo.
We’re not sure if that’s ultimately what BMW will name this wide-bodied hoonmobile, but it’s probably that or the 135tii in homage to the revered 2002 tii. BMW was pretty clear in saying that it won’t be called the M1, since that name already occupies a significant place in BMW history.
Whatever they call it, the idea of a lightweight, de-contented 1 series with more horsepower and a stiffer suspension appeals to me. No word yet on whether or not we’ll see this in the U.S., or at what price point.
