BMW's bahn-storming new M135i hot hatch will hit Australian showrooms in October, priced from $68,400 - plus on-roads.
Available in five-door form only, the M135i enters at the top of the new 1 Series range, taking its place as the line-up's performance flagship.
The M135i is also the first petrol model in the new M Performance family - one step up from M Sport, one down from true M status.
Power in the new M-tuned car is provided by BMW's trusty turbocharged inline-six, producing 235kW and 450Nm of torque.
While the M135i churns out the same torque numbers as the 1 Series M, the genuine M car has another 15kW of power over this new hatch.
Where the 1 M was offered with a manual transmission only, the M135i gets a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic.
In auto form, BMW says the M135i will hit 100km/h in 4.9 seconds - yes, the same time as the manual 1 M - while the manual lists a 5.1 second run.
