Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 7th of 25 in Top speed (250 km/h). 7th of 25 in Top speed (250 km/h).

Less suitable for

Regular family use with bulky luggage. The space and boot are sport-calibrated, not utility. A sedan or SUV from the same manufacturer would be more practical daily.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw M140i xDrive (1st with 4.4 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Renault Megane 4 RS Trophy 300 (1st with 260 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.8 s 0-100 (17th of 25 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the M135i xDrive ranks 17th of 25 in 0–100 km/h, 0.4 s off the reference Bmw M140i xDrive (4.4 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (7th of 25 in Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 260 km/h.

Frequently asked questions

BMW M135i xDrive: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the M135i xDrive rank in its segment?#

Among the 25 compacts 2018–2022, the M135i xDrive ranks 17th of 25 in 0–100 km/h (4.8 s, behind the Bmw M140i xDrive), 7th of 25 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Renault Megane 4 RS Trophy 300), 19th of 25 in Power-to-weight (201 hp/t, behind the Bmw M2 Competition).

How much does the M135i xDrive cost to run?#

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Bmw M140i xDrive instead?#

The Bmw M140i xDrive leads in 0–100 km/h (4.4 s vs 4.8 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M135i xDrive vs Bmw M140i xDrive duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?#

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
