2010–2014 BMW 1 Series 135i Coupé Specs & Performance

The 2010–2014 BMW 135i Coupé is a compact performance coupe powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six gasoline engine producing 302 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Its rear-wheel-drive layout is paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission, giving the 135i a strong combination of performance and everyday usability. The front-mounted longitudinal engine uses DOHC, 24 valves, and direct injection, with peak power produced at 5,800 rpm and peak torque available from 1,200 rpm. With a curb weight of 3,439 pounds and an 11.4 lb/hp power-to-weight ratio, it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 155 mph.

The BMW 135i Coupé also retains the compact dimensions and practical four-seat layout expected from the 1 Series coupe. It provides 13.1 ft³ of luggage space and measures 171.7 inches long, 68.8 inches wide, and 55.6 inches high, with a 104.7-inch wheelbase and a 14-gallon fuel tank. MacPherson struts at the front and multi-link suspension at the rear are supported by vented disc brakes and 215/40 ZR18 front and 245/35 ZR18 rear tires. AutoSpecsHub lists combined fuel economy at 27.6 mpg, highway economy at 36.7 mpg, and a total range of 387 miles. Compared with the earlier 135i Coupé, this version introduces the N55B30 engine and improves combined economy from 25.6 to 27.6 mpg while retaining the same 302-hp and 295-lb-ft output.
