One of the biggest criticisms on the world’s only RWD hot-hatch was the way it looked. The M135i wasn’t the prettiest child of the Germans but BMW addressed the issue with its latest facelift.
The new M135i finally lost that awkward, sad-looking face that personally reminded me some famous egg-stealing pigs (I’m talking to you, Angry Birds fans), using the much sleeker style from its coupe-convertible sibling, the 2-Series.
The slimmer headlights are a much welcome addition to a package that on paper looks unbeatable, offering a turbocharged 322hp straight-six driving the rear wheels in a segment full of front-driven 4-cylinders.
The new BMW M135i may not be a full-fat M model but this doesn’t detract anything away from its desirability, especially now with that new, so much better face on it.
