Munich's compact MMMonster 1

The 135i is extremely rare in Singapore, probably due to BM's premium pricing, road tax and coupe impracticality.

Kudos to those who chose this over other premium brands hovering around this price range.

What they are paying for is BMW's renowned steering feel, 50/50 weight distribution resulting in excellent balance and the proven inline 6 (found in a host of other Beemers) enhanced by a couple of turbos.

What I like about this coupe is that it's not a convertible, thus no extra weight/ burden due to folding mechanisms.

It is compact, zippy and would be a joy to drive in SIngapore roads, although i prefer the NA 3dr hatch 130i.











Doesn't look as fierce as the 3 coupe but boy does this kid pack some serious torque.










No fanciful quad system here. Just a simple sporty twin exhaust from a single outlet.


Unique colour choice. Would look meaner if 18" were worn but this is more than acceptable.
