SCOOP - 135i M spotted testing

19 Jan 2012

BMW's upcoming 135i M-Performance has been spotted testing, ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March
The upcoming three-door BMW 135i M-Performance has been spotted undergoing testing, wearing even less camouflage than before. These latest spy shots allow us to basically see every single design line on the car.
 
The 135i will feature a larger, more aggressive air intake, as well as twin tailpipes at the rear. All of this comes together to make a car that looks meaner and more aggressive when compared to the standard 1 Series hatch.
 
Underneath the bonnet, we expect to find a three-litre twin-turbo engine that should develop 240kW and 450Nm. This will then be sent on its way to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
 
As we know, BMW will be debuting several M-Performance models at the Geneva motor Show in march and the 135i is expected to be one of them.
