Is a second hand BMW M135i a good car?
The BMW M135i is a premium hot hatch with decent performance, a spacious, practical interior and grippy all-wheel drive. It’s something of a difficult second album, though – the BMW M140i that came before it had a glorious six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive which made it a bit more fun to drive.
The four-cylinder engine in this model is down on power compared with the old model, but with 306hp and a sub-five-second 0-60mph time, it’s hardly slow while also being more efficient.
Refinement is improved, too. The M135i is more comfortable over bumps and quieter on the motorway, while still being a hoot on a twisty road.
Practicality is important for a hot hatch, and fortunately the M135i delivers here, too. There’s loads of space inside for those in the front, and adults can fit comfortably in the back seats, though it might be a touch claustrophobic for longer journeys. The boot is bigger than most alternatives, too.
Overall, then, the BMW M135i is a better all-rounder than the old M140i, which makes it easier to live with on a daily basis. But if you want maximum thrills, the old model is the one to go for.
What to look for when buying a used BMW M135i
There are no major causes for concern with the BMW M135i, but as with any car, there are a few minor things to look out for, with owners complaining that the door seals have a tendency to fall away. This doesn’t appear to cause any issues with water getting into the car, but it’s something to look out for just in case. As it’s a known issue, owners report that BMW is pretty good for replacing them, particularly if you’re buying an approved used car from a dealer.
Another recurring issue is a rattle from a part related to the turbocharger. It’s nothing to worry about in the short term, but there is a fix available from BMW.
On top of the usual used car checks, as this is a performance car it’s likely it will have been driven harder than a typical car. Check the brakes and tyres in particular are in good condition, as these can be expensive to fix.
