About the BMW M135 F70
The F70-generation M135 represents a significant overhaul of BMW's premium hot hatch, dropping the 'i' suffix as part of the brand's new naming convention. While it retains the front-biased xDrive architecture of its F40 predecessor, it introduces a more aggressive aesthetic defined by quad exhaust tailpipes and a horizontal-bar M grille. Under the bonnet, the 2.0-litre B48 engine is paired exclusively with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering 300 PS in European markets. The chassis benefits from increased rigidity and updated suspension geometry, aiming to provide a more precise and engaging driving experience than the previous generation.
