BMW 1-Series M135i (2019 - 2024) M135i xDrive M Sport (Plus Pack and Tech Pack I) Sport Automatic 5d Owner Review

I've owned various cars over the years, with my last two being a BMW M140i and Shadow Edition after the first was stolen. The Handling is in a different league to the M140i, with the all wheel traction and front limited slip diff inspiring confidence in the corners. Yes it's not as quick as my previous car but not a lot was, and the sacrifice of 35bhp is more than negated with better fuel economy, technology and handling. Looks are subjective, but to me it looks more sorted than the previous generation 1 Series, being more a traditional hot hatch shape, something I appreciate. The ride, even on 19 inch wheels, is also better damped than before.
