Mitte päris 1M, kuid kui sarnane näidatakse BMWs pooleldi lahus olema? See auto põhjendamine on vaevalt raske. Me jumaldas 1-seeria M kupee muokkaamme julmalt, aga see oli ka väga kallis, väikesemahuliste M-auto mudel kunagi mõeldud masstoodangu. On selge, mida oleks vaja olnud samamoodi ennekuulmatu väljund odavam osta luukpära shell atop veidi vähem turris kere mässitud. Samm edasi uue M135i. 1M oli mõeldud tootena efektne halo hardcore entusiast, M135i kooskõlas BMWs uus performance strateegiaga, on mõeldud looduslik valik-torukübar ja ehtne geoloogilise hulgaliselt ostjaid meelitas kaasaegne mega-luuk mõiste. Tema vaevalt üksi, et turg, kuid tema välimus ei tundu väga hästi ajastatud. Võikalt kallis Audi RS3 on sisuliselt ja läinud, järgmise põlvkonna Volkswagen Golf R ning Ford Focus RS ei kavatse ilmuvad igal ajal kiiresti ja ootasid ikka Mercedes A25 AMG kummarda. Sellest tulenevalt BMWs jõupingutusi ei ruumi hinge. Noh dekanteeritakse üle järgmine kaheksa lehekülge ja avastada, kui auto on väärt oma M rinnamärgid vintage. Not quite a 1M, but how similar will BMWs halfway solution be?Making the case for this car is hardly difficult. We adored the bespoke savagery of the 1-series M Coupe, but that was an ultra-expensive, low-volume M-car model never intended for mass production. Clearly, what was needed was a similarly outrageous output wrapped in a cheaper to buy hatchback shell, atop a slightly less spiky chassis. Step forward the new M135i. Whereas the 1M was meant as a showy halo product for the hardcore enthusiast, the M135i, in line with BMWs new performance strategy, is intended as a natural range-topper and a genuine prospect for the multitude of buyers attracted to the modern mega-hatch concept. Its hardly alone in that market, but its appearance does seem remarkably well timed. The hideously expensive Audi RS3 has essentially been and gone, the next generation of Volkswagen Golf R and Ford Focus RS arent going to appear any time soon and were still waiting for Mercedes A25 AMG to take a bow. Consequently, BMWs effort has some room to breath. Well decant it over the next eight pages and discover if the car is worthy of its M badges vintage.
