The 2020 BMW M135i xDrive is a high-performance hatchback that marks a departure from its predecessor by switching to a front-biased all-wheel-drive system and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Producing 302 hp and 450 Nm of torque, it accelerates from 0-62 mph in 4.8 seconds. The M135i features an 8-speed automatic transmission, a sport-tuned chassis, and BMW's xDrive AWD system for improved grip and handling. While it loses the traditional six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive, it compensates with sharp dynamics, modern tech, and a premium interior, making it a strong competitor in the hot hatch segment.
