In the BMW 1 Series, the BMW 128ti fills the gap between the 120i (178 hp, 280 Nm) and the all-wheel drive M135i xDrive (306 hp, 450 Nm). Unlike the “M” version, the new “ie” or “Turismo Internazionale” is front-wheel drive. This modification also has unique design solutions that distinguish it from other versions of the 1st series.

The BMW 128ti is equipped with a two-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that develops 265 horsepower and 400 Newton meters of torque. The power unit is clutched with an eight-speed “Steptronic Sport” automatic transmission. From the ground up to 100 km / h, the sport hatchback will accelerate in 6.1 seconds (compared to the M135i xDrive in 4.8 seconds).

The BMW 128ti will go on sale in November and cost Germany from 41,575 euros, which is seven thousand euros cheaper than the M135i xDrive, but four thousand more expensive than the VW Golf GTI.
