  • Recently, we enlisted the help of our good friend Tom (aka TGE TV) to find out if the new 2020 BMW M135i 2l 4 cylinder with xDrive has what it takes to school the 2019 BMW M140i 3l 6 cylinder on a damp track.
    We challenged them head-to-head in the ultimate BMW 1 Series drag race, by doing a quarter mile drag sprint, a rolling sprint and also a brake test! Which car will come out on top? Watch on to find out!

    So the older generation is faster at the drag race, destroys the new at the rolling races, has better brake perfomance and sounds nicer. So well done BMW, you did a great job:D

    I collected my new m135i this week, replacing my 2017 m140i(which I loved). I initially did not like the look of the new model, but in truth it looks so much better is person (plus pack is a must for larger alloys) and after sitting both side by side, I think the new model looks much better. The photos and videos do not do the new model any justice.
    In terms of comparison, the m140i is better if you like to spend your weekends going as fast as you can in a straight line. The m135i wins in every other aspect, albeit without the 6 cylinder sound.
    The interior in vastly superior in terms of tech and quality of components. I did not realise how dated the m140i felt until I sat in the m135i. The driving position is much better and general feel is great. Being quite tall(6ft3) I find the new car much comfier and a lot more spacious.
    The m135i performance is superb, and does not leave me wanting for the m140i, especially in the miserable Scottish weather where I can now plant the right foot in the knowledge that I will go forward. Quickly.
    If you have not made your mind up on this car then go for a test drive, you will not be disappointed!

    It’s ugly, slower and bad in braking compared to the old one! Please #BMW explain me why I should buy “The 1” (135i) instead of the “The Real 1” (140i).. #make1seriesgreatagain

    A great video. But it compares apples with oranges. I come from Germany and drive the BMW 140i xDrive. Unfortunately, it wasn't available in the UK. Traction is much better on wet roads than the M140i with rear-wheel drive🤓

    I cant help but belive buying an m140 or 35i is a good investment now (providing you dont do 10- 15,000 a year for a few years) literally is no other car of this past decade like them.

    I’m pretty sure BMW was trying to make the F40 quicker or whatever, otherwise they would have given it more power and they know how to do it! They wanted to make a more grownup car where you can still have some fun, and that worked.
    So I’m still surprised that people actually compare them only for their performances 😅 since it’s not comparable at all…

    The F40 is disappointing.
