Engine options within the 2010 BMW 1-series are limited. Both the 128i and 135i trims come with a 3.0 liter six cylinder engine. While the engine is the same for both trims of the 2010 vehicle, the horsepower produced is quite different. The 128i produces 230 horsepower, while the 135i produces a staggering 300 horsepower. With the 300 horsepower, the 2010 vehicle trim 135i can run from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 5.1 seconds.
What's more, electronic traction control through engine management and ABS, along with electronic brake distribution and cornering brake control will render enhanced control over the vehicle.
