135i xdrive

[Marco-Swanepoel]

Hey Guys

I had a look at an 2020 135i xdrive yesterday.

The car has the 19 inch wheels on but, I'd like to change them to the M2 Cs or M3 CS 763M wheels

Will this fit? Any problems with motorplan being canceled?

I asked the salesman can I add an akrapovic exhaust he said yes but that will cancel the motor plan?

Any comments on the interior?

Do it, real men own BMW's out of Plan.

😂🤣 Kinda sounds like an idea I'm sure theirs an Pure turbo upgrade available for this?

Adding an Akrapovic exhaust should not cancel your plan... unless they have changed their policy yet again. The CS wheels are a non starter. They are 5x120 and the m135i is 5x112

Why did bmw move to a new pcd! I found the same problem with my G05 X5

Bulletproof vest for sale....lol

However, that 5x112 sucks now...but would be nice to see this thing suped up and perfroming against its old 6 cylinder counterparts

There was a YouTube video from The Motorist where they pitched the new 135iM against the old 135iM at the Highveld.

The old one is faster there are a few videos on YouTube

But I guess in slippery conditions, the AWD new one would be quicker for most drivers.

Keen to see how these respond to mods when compared to the Golf R

Is it? ok sharp, I'll check it out. I wonder with mods if it would be as near lethal as the other AWD hatches

discussion - New vs Old M135i (Video)

Shot at the Highveld by the Motorist team. I mostly agree with their views here. The new M135i is really just a Mini Cooper JCW with a BMW badge, and a far cry from being a proper performance BMW.

My comments in that thread are no disrespect to the OP here. The merits of x drive come to the fore in inclement weather.

I think all hot hatches are great, My wife's 135i is more than fast enough for daily trips fetching the kids from school ect.

Great car sounds "cool" pulls like a train and the xdrive makes a big difference from the rear wheel drive 120d she got out of

 

[Marco-Swanepoel]

Is it as fast as a golf or the previous 135i? I'd doesn't really matter, it's what she wanted and she loves it

I have the exact same thing with my Amarok V6, all bakkie are good but the Amarok works for me
