There’s even a limit on what tuners can do to make the M135i sound more interesting because it’s fitted with GPFs . They rob the exhaust of a lot of character but they can’t simply be bypassed or removed because the resulting lower back pressure triggers an engine warning light.
Long-standing UK importer Rossiters, based near King’s Lynn in Norfolk, try the cars with ACS’s recommended settings and occasionally tweak the set-up, perhaps raising the front ride height a few millimetres for our bumpier roads, but this M135i is set to factory spec. ‘Fast not hard’ is AC Schnitzer’s motto and despite appearing to have little in the way of tyre sidewall, the ride is superb. There’s not much roll and wheel travel seems limited, contributing to a feeling of great composure, yet even over difficult backroads there’s no agitation, no matter how gnarly the asphalt gets. And your confidence is bolstered by a lack of thumps or rattles that suggests the base M135i provides a sound structure for the suspension to work from.
The M135i feels gutsy and fast, then, though there’s not much point in hanging on right to the limiter, because the delivery wanes and the limiter is soft, making the last 500rpm or so properly anti-climatic. A hard limiter set 250rpm earlier would transform the feel of the top end. While it doesn’t offer a full exhaust, Schnitzer does offer a new back box with carbonfibre-trimmed tailpipes.
Stunning spec on that one 😍
