Most drivers are likely to elect the six-speed manual transmission, the same satisfying performer as in the 3-Series, but a six-speed automatic will also be available. The 135i accelerates to 60 mph in less than 5.3 seconds with top speed electronically limited to 155 mph. Focusing on a younger driver than other BMWs, the car makes a louder noise when producing this performance, a combination of less sound-deadening interior materials and a more audible exhaust.
The car is equipped with BMW's Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with Dynamic Traction Control that electronically intervenes to prevent loss of vehicle control. Reflecting the enthusiast uses to which this car is likely to be put, the DTC activates only at a high threshold of performance. BMW's Active Steering variable ratio steering system is available as an option.An improved version of the infamous i-Drive system controls the audio, HVAC, and optional navigation system, and operation is almost intuitive now, though still requiring more clicks, pushes, and twists than a simple direct control system.
Of course, all the standard safety components are standard - BMW is proud of the high ratings its cars earn in U.S. and European crash tests - including six air bags, ABS, belt pretensioners, seat belts mounted to the seats, and driver's pedals that move back automatically in the event of a frontal collision.
