Overall rating 4/5The BMW 135 sits near the top of the 1-Series range and combines family-friendly practicality with genuine hot-hatch excitement. It has evolved from rear-wheel drive and 6-cylinder engines (pre-2019) to an efficient, powerful turbocharged 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive (from 2019), offering more space and stability in newer models while older ones appeal to enthusiasts for characterful performance. Against rivals like the Audi S3, Mercedes-AMG A35 and Volkswagen Golf R, the BMW 135 stands out with well-balanced handling, premium feel, high-quality materials, supportive seats, smart digital displays, and BMW’s excellent iDrive infotainment system.
