BMW has already taken a position in “super hatchbacks” with the first “number one” series with a cross-engine drive concept. The M135i, with all-wheel drive and 225 kilowatt, 306 horsepower, competes with other hatchbacks, which push the performance of compacts to previously unheard of heights. However, with the 128 version, the Bavarians also fall a step lower.
