"The 135i is a scintillating performer thanks to its 225 kW twin-turbo, direct-injection, 3.0-litre straight-six engine that has won international design awards. They don't come much sweeter or more willing right to the redline, and there's a great soundtrack to match,” said the judges.
“BMW's rear-drive coupe has almost ideal 50:50 weight distribution for enhanced chassis balance and lively, nimble handling. Combine this with terrific grip levels and communicative steering and it's easy for a driver to feel very much at one with the 135i. Scoring nothing less than nine out of 10 in all areas of our on-road assessment, the 135i really has the credentials necessary to be recognized as a great driver's car,” they said.
This ceremony was special, as Australia’s Best Cars celebrated its 10th anniversary. The awards ceremony was held at the exclusive RACV club in Melbourne. These awards get a lot of attention due to the fact that they remain comprehensive, independent and consumer based.
Over 280 new vehicles were rated across 19 key consumer criteria with a special emphasis on the top three performers in each of the 12 categories. BMW 135i Coupe was a very appreciated car ever since its launch in 2008. Everyone appreciated the great balance between power, handling and fuel economy.
