Also 340PS like the M140i/M240i seems possible, if the new UKL M135i should not have less hp than its predecessor, because this would be bad marketing for the change to UKL and from I6 to I4. |
I think 340hp is a bit optimistic, but perhaps 326hp isn't beyond the realm of possibility, sure. Whatever the power output might be, with AWD standard and a lighter I4 (compared to the I6), I suspect they will find a way to match or at least come very close to the acceleration numbers of the outgoing RWD M140i model.
