Description

Those 300 ponies should catapult the 135i from 0 to 62 mph in 5.3 seconds, according to BMW, but we expect the fastest 1er to be much quicker, owing in part to BMW’s famously conservative estimates and the fact that we rang up a 0-to-60 time of 4.9 seconds for a 335i coupe. The lighter 135i should be able to at least match that figure, and we’ll go ahead and venture an estimate in the high fives or better for the 128i while we’re at it. (A 328i sedan we recently tested for a comparo clocked 6.1 seconds to 60.)
