The LW BMW M135i is a great take on the new 1 Series, a car that originally arrived with lukewarm reception thanks to the 4-cylinder engine and all wheel drive. Let's check out the modifications and take it for a spin! What do you think of it?

Looks like another european hatchback. americans couldn't even fit in this thing. I am also sure it is really over priced. Germany is a little to proud of their automobiles. Their base models cost more then a home in America. And if you every have to have this thing worked on. You will have to take out a second mortgage just to pay the repair bill. I give it two thumbs down. Good video tho shmee!!!!

That CSL M3 Lightweight. Ohhhh that’s a sweet car. Shmee you are the man! I thought you would have ignored that beautiful car. In fact I would have been happier if you did the full renew and drive if the M3.

Finally a new BMW with a rev counter that turns clockwise!

Another term is rubber bands when the tires are that skinny we say that over here in the US

That is way more unique than the cars they normally make! In my opinion, probably one of the best looking BMWs they normally make. So unique and better!

Tim in Germany does the m135 come with I drive 6 and the half digital and half manual display? I believe both are higher spec in the uk.

The grill, how to make it bigger for next generation?

Weird that they chose other extras (i.e. powerfold tailgate) for their demostrator, but stuck with the standard semi-analog dash instead of the full digital one which also comes with iDrive OS7... Because then it would also be very clear how the 1 Series can feel very similar to a much bigger/more expensive BMW inside.

Back looks awesome, the front looks off. I’d have to see it in person I guess

i actually really like the bigger grilles on this

That e46 behind... 😍

Isn't this essentially the drivetrain from the X2 M35i or Mini Cooper SUV with the 301 HP engine? When I drove one of these in US, it has lots of torque steer on top of the understeer with stock suspension. Perhaps lightweight has tuned some of this away with the spring package? This could be a pretty neat little runabout car if not too expensive.
