 Possible BMW M135i with 320 HP in the works
BMW 1-Series Performance Accessories Study - 7.9.2011

M135i variant of the 1-Series will get a full M division work up and come with an output of 320 PS (235 kW / 316 hp)

According to leaked documents from a dealer presentation in the Netherlands, BMW is working on an M135i variant of the 1-Series which will debut next year.

Apparently the news is from the same set of documents that brought us the BMW M550d story yesterday. The report from Driving-Fun says the M135i will feature the 3.0 liter, twin-turbo six-cylinder unit dialed up to 320 PS (235 kW / 316 hp) - 14 PS more than in the previous 135i.

The car is also expected to get a full M division tuning treatment given that it's going to carry the M moniker in its name.

The BMW M135i is expected to debut in the summer of 2012.

Which is quite an achievement, judging by how ugly the other BMWs are

Nothing, absolutely nothing, can make the front end of this car look anything but pig ugly.

Would have said it was an X1 M... Looks like a hard try to make that horrible front end look sporty. It makes me wanna just punch that nose and stick it inside :S
