Finally got round to cleaning the car- got around 700 miles on it now and loving every minute of it

Hard to drive the A6 purely for the sound of the derv

Also Cleaned the A6 as it been 5,000 miles since it was last cleaned (at its service - adblue top up) - mileage has slowed down - just on 30k and still on original tyres

20inch alloys and small brakes makes cleaning a breeze, on the M135 you cant get your finger between the caliper and the alloy

M135i is lovely. I would say though given that I currently own a 5 door in white. 3,500miles on mine now and love it more every time I get in it.

The bmw looks so bland from the rear. It needs a larger rear spoiler. I bet about 98% of people don't realise it's power output.

A6 is lovely. 20'' alloys

For me that's the appeal of the m135

This. It's a grown up car. Not in your face like the VXR etc.

1,500 on mine now and I still can't wait to drive it every morning. It's ridiculously quick joining a motorway.

Are 98% of people blind? It's subtle but even so most people can see the twin exhaust.

Incase you haven't noticed, a lot of non performance cars also come with twin exhausts/fake twin exhausts. The audi A6 directly below it has a twin exhaust ffs

True Ben but not on the 1 series

Either way it's a seriously quick car - for me anyway. The way it's goes from 40 to 100+ is effortless

Sounds better with the exhaust valve mod also

Mines got the M performance exhaust on mine so difficult to stay discreet. Makes one hell of a lovely tone tone tho! Luckily my fuel is paid for too as averaging 21.4 MPG over 3,500 miles would have been costly.

I want the mpe but wife doesn't and to be fair she spends most time in it

In cold start it makes a racket as it is so with an mpe it can only be louder

I have heard both mpe and standard with sport cats and for me the sports cat setup sounds better

Not heard sports cats!! Dealer demo I drove had MPE so was sold instantly on it. They price matched it too so paid £600. Lovely in sports or sports+ and civilised in Eco on the few motorway trips I've made. Carries the little ones buggy or my golf clubs when needed but can be a hooligan when alone, ideal car for me. Not sure what to replace it with when the time comes tbh.

I think it's loud enough as it is for me.

You're assuming 100% of people know what a 1 series with a twin exhaust means

You'd have to be a real BMW Nerd to a) give a fuck about that, and (b) actually notice and realise it means something

I agree - the appeal of the M135 is its subtlety.

To those in the know, there's a few hints to it - silver mirrors, wheels and brakes, no front fogs and the twin exhaust, but to everyone else it could simply be a 116D!

For me i just don't see what the 1 series is meant to be, its too big to be a small fast hatch, doesn't have any nice features of a coupe, even a saloon car looks sleeker and lower, looks more like a short estate car for me, needs to look sporty, too much of it is too high.

Performance has gotten boring and irrelevant these days, a granny car will do 110mph and no one actually seems to achieve that on day to day driving.
