At the Paris Motor Show 2012, BMW are displaying two new all-wheel drive 1-Series models, the M135i xDrive and the 120d xDrive. Of most interest to us is the M135i xDrive, an M Performance model.
The M135i xDrive features a 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine with a Twin Scroll turbocharger. It produces 320hp at 5,800rpm and 450Nm of torque at 4,500rpm. BMW’s xDrive, four wheel drive system is fitted which means that the M135i gets better traction and is now capable of producing 0-100km/h times of 4.7 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than the rear wheel drive version, with a top speed limited to 250km/h.
