BMW Concept M135i

With its sporty appearance, the compact BMW Concept M135i authentically conveys the typical qualities of BMW Performance automobiles to yet another vehicle segment. Using the expertise gained by BMW’s high-performance division from decades of motor racing experience, the supreme performance of its tremendously powerful engines specifically designed to suit each model, the meticulously modified suspension technology and the aerodynamic characteristics are all combined into a harmonious overall concept. 

 

The employment of a straight 6-cylinder petrol powerplant featuring M Performance Twin Power Turbo technology with a power output of more than 300 bhp creates the ideal prerequisites for maximum dynamics in the premium compact segment and, in conjunction with rear-wheel drive concept still unique in this vehicle class, ensures the driving pleasure that comes with every BMW.

 

Moreover, the characteristic handling precision of BMW M Performance automobiles is obtained through model-specific suspension technology that includes an M sports braking system and is perfectly adapted to match the supreme road performance. 18-inch M light alloys with a double spoke design additionally complement the concept car’s sporting character.

 

The front apron of the concept car boasts a typical M design, indicating intensive road-orientation, its large air intakes designed to match the cooling requirement of the powerful engine, ancillary components and large brakes. The three-dimensionally designed flaps on the air intakes give indication of the car’s direct association with motor racing.

 

In addition to intense road-orientation, the specific design of the rear end of the BMW Concept M135i emphasizes above all the vehicle’s width. This is supplemented in particular by the three-dimensional modelling of the surfaces and the lower section of the rear apron finished in Dark Shadow metallic. Furthermore, the rear apron accommodates the exhaust system’s double tailpipe that features a dark chrome trim. 

 

Compared with the silhouette of the 5-door 1-Series, the 3-door Concept M135i makes an even more sporting, more dynamic appearance. Viewed from the side, the car’s athletic, low-slung appearance and its close proximity to the road are emphasized by an entirely horizontal contour line adjacent to the doorsills. The wide doors are a further characteristic feature of the concept car’s body design. Together with the rear side windows, the frameless windows form a coherent window surface reaching back to the rear end, accentuating the body’s dynamically-stretched appearance.

 

Thanks to a distinctively sports-oriented appearance, the Concept M135i offers attractive prospects for the further development of the 1-Series model range.
