BMW M135i Comes from the Back Door in the States as the 135is Coupe and Convertible



While BMW won't be bringing the new M135i hatchback models to North America, it will compensate with the introduction of an enhanced performance version of the 1 Series Coupe and Convertible called the 135is.

Positioned under the 1-Series M Coupe that is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged straight six with 335hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, the new 135is gets its power from BMW's N55 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six tuned to deliver a peak output 320hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, or 20hp and 17 lb-ft more than the 135i.

Both the Coupe and Convertible models will be offered with a standard 6-speed manual gearbox andan optional 7-Speed Double Clutch Transmission driving the rear wheels.

BMW says that despite the increase in power, the 135is maintains the same emissions level and MPG ratings of the regular 135i.
