2013 BMW M135i

Following the guilt of the BMW Concept M135i, the German automaker announced today the production version will hit European streets soon, but it should never the light of day in the United States - well, at least for now. So, what BMW has done here? You've got a new BMW 1-Series three-door hatch, adding an M Performance Chassis prepared with sports suspension, steering and braking systems. Overall, BMW M styling fused with an aggressive attitude creates a new front apron, rear apron with a diffuser, 18-inch alloy wheels, silver mirror caps, sports seats and custom interior.

Power for the BMW M135i comes from a 3.0-liter inline six cylinder with 6 M Power Performance Twin Turbo technology, up to 320 hp at 5,800 rpm and maximum torque of 332 lb-ft 1300-4500 revolutions per minute. For a 6-speed manual gearbox, the BMW M135i coupled 0-62 mph in 5.1 seconds and 4.9 seconds with an automatic. While BMW is known to be quite conservative with their numbers, I'm not a fond of the M135i. As the owner of a BMW 135i 2012 with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, I know that my car is running from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds.
