This 2016 BMW 1 Series M135i combines performance with the practicality expected of a premium hatchback. Under the bonnet, it features a 3.0 litre petrol engine that meets Euro 6 emission standards, paired with a sport automatic transmission for smooth gear changes. The vehicle is equipped with several comfort and technology enhancements, including front heated seats and the BMW Professional media package. Audio quality is provided by the BMW Advanced speaker system, while visibility is aided by the high beam assistant. The M135i offers a compelling balance of power and everyday usability, highlighted by its ability to accelerate from 0 to 62mph in 4.9 seconds. Despite this performance capability, it sits in a low insurance group, making it a more accessible option for drivers compared to many other high performance models. Practicality is further enhanced by a large boot space, ensuring that the vehicle remains a versatile choice for daily commuting or longer journeys without compromising on its engaging driving characteristics.
