Despite having 300 Horsepower at its disposal in a body the size of a Golf, the car you are looking at is thoroughly disappointing. You see, the M 1-Series hatchback we were all expecting is real, but it’s only a concept right now, so we have a bit of waiting to do before it actually arrives.
The engine under the bonnet a 3.0-liter straight-six cylinder unit with Twin Power Turbo technology, that delivers its juice to the back. The good news is that there is practically a 0 percent chance they aren’t going to put this into production, but it’s also a good way for them to take an arm and a leg for the extra Performance Package that gives an extra 20 hp, for the full 320 that we expected all along. Come on BMW, we know what the engine rally makes, stop trying to take our money!

Cosmetically, the M135i Concept is quite the looker, having been bestowed with a set of 18-inch M design alloys, an M sports braking system, an aggressive body kit and the usual BMW M division livery.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
