450 horsepower at the rear wheels, no rear seats, and….a manual gearbox. We have with this BMW M135i by Tuningwerk the ultimate hot hatch to go for it?

With the release of the M-performancelijn try BMW additional to withdraw the gap between the regular Bimmers and the hardcore M models to be sealed. The M135i is an example of: 320 hp and 450 Nm from a blown six-cylinder, but still no pumping car.

It is also the question of whether you are a tuningproject the slightly softer variant should address (with the electronic diff, and a fairly open chassis) instead of a full-blooded M, but Tuningwerk did it. A 1M they had already done it. The result is this particular grey M135i with up to 450 hp and an unknown number of Newtonmeters.

To the sporty claims listen to his above-mentioned parts strengthened: there is a veerset of KW under, the differential is replaced by a limited-slip instance, and the 1 Series is on a heavy semi-slick tyres (245/40R18 and 265/35R18). Better brakes make for a shorter stopafstanden. If you want to mount the Germans also have a roll cage.

That sounds like serious work, and Tuningwerk underlines this with a lap time of 1:58 minutes on the Hockenheimring. That’s an average of eur 139,5 km/h on the 4,574-km-long circuit. Not bad… Optional to install them a 4.5 kg lighter flywheel, what the acceleration is going to help.

If you prefer something less extreme, like, Tuningwerk a 360 hp strong variant for you, that you have exactly the same number peekaas as aforementioned A45 AMG and the copy of AC Schnitzer), but two cylinders more.
