The
BMW 135i coupe, new for 2008, is powered by a twin-turbocharged
3.0-liter inline six-cylinder
engine that produces 306 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque
from as low as 1,400 rpm. With its direct piezo gasoline injectors,
twin low-mass turbochargers and air-to-air intercooling, optimum
performance and economy is achieved with no loss in engine response.
The 135i Coupe is capable of accelerating from 0-62 mph in 5.3
seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph.
Features of the M Sports Package for the BMW 135i Coupe include
M Sports Suspension for higher traction and reduced body roll,
18-inch wheels with performance tires, M logo doorsill trims,
an M leather sports
steering wheel and an M logo footrest for the drivers
left foot. The leather appointments on the gearshift lever and
handbrake, as well as the handbrake handle are finished in high-quality
soft leather. The roof lining on the M Sports Package comes
in Anthracite, and the interior features offered in this package
are rounded off by Glacier Silver aluminum interior trim that
highlights the sporting character of the cockpit. The BMW 135i
Coupe M Sports Suspension also comes with a high-performance
brake system incorporating six-piston fixed calipers on the
front axle and two-piston fixed calipers at the rear.
The M aerodynamics Package for the BMW 135i Coupe includes specially-designed
front and rear bumpers as well as special rocker sills and foglamps.
Together, they give the 135i Coupe a signature BMW M look in
a tasteful yet distinctive manner.
The BMW 1 Series Coupe benefits from BMWs brake and stability
control systems. Standard ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and ASC
(Automatic Stability Control) prevent the drive wheels from
spinning while CBC (Cornering Brake Control) stabilizes the
car whenever necessary during application of the brakes in a
bend.
