It can’t be named M1

This is going to be the ultimate sports-hatch and packs an extra 50+ bhp over the current BMW 130 or VW Golf R32.
Munich would love to call the car M1 – but that would take away the glory from the legendary 1970’s M1 supercar, so the range-topping 1-series will have to do with a 135ti-badge on the rear, hinting to the sophisticated 3.0-litre turbo-engine delivering no less than 306 bhp!
It’s just been presented in the 3-series coupé and should be able to turn the 1-series into a real cannon ball on wheels...
Just recently we’d shown you pictures of the 5-door version of the new pocket rocket – but here’s the car that will make the biggest part in the 135ti-sales: the 3-door hatch!
