The Bavarian automaker is upping the ante once again with the all-new BMW M135 xDrive.
The car’s proportions are classic BMW: a long bonnet, a passenger compartment set well back, and a roofline that flows into a robust rear.
Its stance is accentuated by a front apron with large air intakes, black M mirror caps, and a distinctive rear spoiler.
If that’s not enough, the horizontally arranged double bars on the kidney grille, complemented by the iconic M badge, drive the point home.
Under the hood, the M135 xDrive houses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, capable of churning out 317hp and 400Nm of torque. These numbers translate to a 0–100 km/h sprint in a brisk 4.9 seconds.
Thanks to the M TwinPower Turbo technology, which includes dual fuel injection and advanced intercooling, drivers can expect responsive acceleration and exceptional performance across a wide RPM range.
BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system, paired with a 7-speed Steptronic transmission, ensures that every bit of horsepower is effectively translated into road performance.
The M Sport Boost function offers an extra dose of excitement, pushing the car to its performance limits at the touch of a button.
Its Adaptive M Chassis, which lowers the car by 8 millimetres, provides a balanced ride that can switch seamlessly from comfort to sportiness. The inclusion of 19-inch M light alloy wheels and finely tuned suspension enhances cornering dynamics and steering precision.
Inside, M Sport seats wrapped in Veganza/Alcantara upholstery provide excellent support for long journeys.
The interior’s premium feel is amplified by backlit trim strips, an anthracite roof lining, and a redesigned M leather steering wheel.
The M135 xDrive is equipped with the latest BMW iDrive system, featuring QuickSelect for intuitive navigation through its 10.7-inch Control Display.
With fewer physical buttons, the cabin feels modern and uncluttered, while the digital interface ensures all functions are at your fingertips.
For those who value seamless connectivity, the car comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, alongside BMW’s Digital Premium subscription, which unlocks a suite of country-specific apps and entertainment options.
Priced at $329,888 (before COE), the BMW M135 xDrive represents a compelling option for those seeking a blend of performance, luxury, and cutting-edge technology in a compact package.
