What Changed

A new inline six-cylinder engine with a single turbocharger replaces last year's twin turbo engine on 135i models. The power and torque ratings are unchanged. A seven-speed dual clutch transmission replaces the optional automatic transmission on 135i models. A new limited production 1-Series M Coupe raises the performance stakes even higher. The M version pairs a thoroughly reworked suspension with the higher output 335-bhp six-cylinder found in other models.
