About BMW 135is
My faith in “The Ultimate Driving Machine” was restored when I tried out the 2013 BMW 135is. My experience with a 325is from the E30 generation, which I owned quite a few decades ago and which introduced me to the world of BMW, But over the past few years, coinciding with the launch of the X6, the brand seemed to take a turn for the mundane, turning out cars tuned for the mass market rather than enthusiasts. This change occurred around the same time. After experiencing an especially calm ride in a BMW 3-series, my worst fears were starting to come true.
Now that I’ve driven the diminutive 135is, I am certain that BMW is still capable of producing high-quality sports cars.
The BMW 1 Series is BMW’s smallest and most affordable vehicle, but it has the potential to be one of the most powerful vehicles in the lineup and the best street performer. The 135is is available in the United States as a coupe and has two rear seats that are on the cramped side. Its length is just over 14 feet. In addition, Europeans get a version of the car that is styled like a hatchback but BMW refuses to bring it to the United States.
The 135i was already a little rocket when it was released because it featured BMW’s excellent direct-injected and turbocharged 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine. The addition of the letter “s” to the model name, which is something that BMW has occasionally done over the course of the past several decades, transforms the vehicle into a tuned-up street racer with acceleration that won’t quit and an exhaust note that will get your attention.
BMW reprogrammed the engine software to make the 135is worthy of the extra letter, increasing the output to 320 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Similarly, the suspension has been stiffened and a new traction control program allows for a little more play. On the completely unnecessary side, BMW adorns the 135is with small M badges, recalling the somewhat disappointing attempt at an a few years ago.

BMW sent CNET a model with a manual transmission and no navigation system, which was a purist’s dream. Although the other transmission option is the truly excellent seven-speed twin clutch, which reduces zero-to-60-mph time by 0.1 second, it was nice to get some driving time with the manual, which suits the 135is very well.
