Never seen the attraction personally. Both the golf r and 135 disappeared at a rapid rate of knots last time I saw any on the road. Pretty pathetic to be fair?

Awesome choice OP. Much better all rounder than the Subaru (not even a close comparison). Very quick and the gearbox is so damn good.

I drove one and loved it. A lot. Toying over buying one as we speak. Golf R felt good but the M135i was more precise and pulled harder. Yall love it.

And that torque is available from 1500rpm, its proper quick. I quite like the understated looks of them. The sound lovely also

My wife has a White 2015 m135i and it's quicker than my hatch the gear changes are seamless. I had the bmw LSD fitted as an extra makes a massive deference, although the service department didn't know you could retro fit one! Also put M3 front arms on to give it a bit more camber, it handles so much better with these upgrades. Oh and put a cheeky chip box on it made a big difference in power too. And I forgot the Eibach lowering springs! I do use it now and then.

Quicker or not, the hatch is better looking than that gofer faced thing. I really can't stand the front end on new bmw's.

I prefer the way the Hatch drives it's more involving IMO but the Beemer is like a mini GT car it's horses for courses.

My wife's got a pre face lift one and they are quick, especially with the ZF auto but as a previous post highlighted they're straight line monsters really, pretty ragged handling when pushing on i find.

babybmw.net is a great forum. There's a dedicated M135i section with lots of great info and advice. A few choice mods - H&R springs, decat, and JB4 box - turn an already very capable car into a serious weapon. The lines on the car are lovely, but a few aesthetic changes - black kidney grilles, spoiler, and a nice set of wheels - make it look even more stunning. Even the lads on here might be converted.

What spec have you gone for?

Yeh uncle like a kid at Christmas as for spec I went the whole hog even Harmon karmon speakers will post pic's up at weekend
