The comparison between the M135i and the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG will probably go on forever. At the end of the day, it's actually a matter of choice and finances, as both cars are phenomenal, in their own way.
You want a more track-oriented car, you go for the Merc. You want a daily driver that will also give you the thrills of a sports car, you go for the BMW. It's actually quite simple. Furthermore, some of us might not have the couple of thousand dollars needed to get the A45 so things will be even easier for them.
In the following video, the 2 hot hatches go at it, from a standstill, all the way up to their respective top speeds. However, even though on paper the Benz should win it, things don't go exactly as expected. Actually, the BMW seems to be a bit quicker. Unfortunately, we don't know at the moment if the 1er in the video is a xDrive model or not.
