BMW’s latest M-ified 1 Series, known as the M135 xDrive, delivers different power outputs based on the market, producing either 296 hp or 312 hp.
This power variation suggests the model might be headed to the US, where cars often have higher outputs due to fewer restrictions.
BMW has neither confirmed nor denied a US release, but hasn’t ruled it out. The 1 Series now includes the Xperi TiVo video app, providing access to various streaming platforms and TV channels.
This app is available in the US, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and South Korea, allowing users to watch shows while in traffic or waiting.
BMW has enhanced the 1 Series’ front fascia with a “power dome” feature, new wheel options, an active exhaust system, and improved cooling technology.
BMW M135 xDrive (BMW)
Renowned for its performance and sporty characteristics, the BMW M135 xDrive makes a striking impression. It comes with standard 18-inch alloy wheels and a dedicated suspension setup that enhances rigidity for a spirited driving feel.
For those aiming to take it to the track, BMW offers 19-inch lightweight alloy wheels and optional track-specific tires. Featuring M Sport Boost and M Launch Control, this model is designed for high-performance scenarios.
Its seven-speed automatic transmission integrates a mechanical differential lock to balance speed between the front wheels. Coupled with all-wheel drive, this allows the M135 xDrive to distribute power to the rear axle effectively, ensuring top performance when driving demands are high.
