‘Hey, BMW. It also features shorter suspension springs and tighter damper settings, as well as harder stabilisers. The exhaust’s pops and crackles are particularly entertaining, and perfectly matched to an engine that feels suitably aggressive when dialled right up.There’s some speaker-enhanced rumble to the M135i, but it’s surprisingly subdued, which unfortunately emphasises the absence of BMW’s silky and seductive straight-six.Although the M135i xDrive feels more passive in its power delivery, and there’s some low-down lag not so evident in its competitors, this shouldn’t be mistaken for a car lacking pace or response. Ein gutes, aber zu wenig anregendes Kompaktmodell.



It’s less unusual for the A35 to be auto only.Just one litre separates official fuel consumption figures for this trio, with Such are the technical similarities between this trio that even the all-wheel-drive systems are ostensibly the same: prominently sending drive to the front wheels in normal driving, but with the ability to send up to 50 per cent of engine torque to the rear wheels as required via a multi-plate clutch.And all are equally brilliant at firing their respective cars out of the middle of a corner when you stomp heavily on the gas.It’s certainly not something the old M135i/M140i could achieve as successfully, especially in wetter conditions, with its rear-drive set-up forcing more judicious timing of accelerator pedal re-engagement.Not entirely a new concept. But all this ballyhoo is merely a prelude to the great dog-and-pony show known as Drift Mode, which can only be locked in with the transmission in manual, the drive program in Race and ESP switched off – and then you must pull both shift paddles simultaneously, then confirm powerslide mode by a quick flick of the Up paddle.


It’s exactly 20 years since the Audi S3 turned up in Australia to initiate a new segment niche from Europe: the premium hot hatch.You might wonder why Germany’s luxury brands took so long to enter the popular world of sporty hatches, considering that in 1999 VW’s Golf GTI wasn’t far off celebrating its 25th anniversary.Six years later, BMW plonked one of its famous straight-six engines into its 1 Series five-door to create the 130i Sport, before the second-generation heralded the arrival of the M135i badge in 2012 (M140i from 2016).Mercedes-Benz’s A-Class has been around since the 1990s, yet it wasn’t until 2013 – and the more conventional-looking third generation – that the company’s smallest car received the AMG treatment.There’s nothing like serendipitous timing for a juicy comparison, and arriving on our shores just weeks after For those who haven’t been paying attention, don’t be confused by the return of the M135i badge.
