2011 BMW 135i Coupe Review
The 1 Series features a traditional front-engine/rear- drive blueprint that is sure to delight purists or those just wanting an affordable way to get into a premium-badged BMW. Falling neatly between the Mini Cooper and its 3 Series brother in terms of price and size, the BMW 1 Series is a thrilling little car that strikes a balance between sports car and luxury coupe.
Walkaround
Though the BMW 1 Series is the company’s least expensive model, it’s hardly an underperforming stripper. The base-model 128i comes with a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-6 producing 228 horsepower. The performance- oriented 135i comes equipped with BMW’s impressive turbocharged 3.0-liter inline- 6. It produces 300 hp and 300 pound-feet of torque. Both engines come with a six-speed manual as standard equipment; a six-speed automatic transmission is available as an option. In the convertible, a fully automatic cloth top stores underneath a hard tonneau cover. Beyond engines, the 135i differs from its less powerful sibling due to its aero body kit, 18-inch wheels and sport suspension. The last two items are optional on the 128i, though. Both models also offer a bevy of luxury items normally available on BMW’s pricier offerings. Measuring 171.7 inches in length and 76.1 inches in width, the 1 Series checks in about 8 inches shorter and 2 inches narrower than the 3 Series coupe. The rear seat is strictly for two, and how often it gets used depends on how large and how forgiving potential rear passengers are. There’s not a lot of space in back, so it’s almost better to consider the 1 as having a 2+2 seating arrangement — especially the convertible.
Summary
The BMW 1 Series’ handling is simply superb. Precise steering combined with a well-balanced chassis make the coupe and convertible feel right at home on a freeway or a serpentine road. Body roll is minimal, and overall grip on models fitted with the Sport package will win approval from all but the most hard-core enthusiast drivers.
