they're not 3l or twin turbo. they don't even have a single turbo,much less two of them.

the 1 series are the base models. they're not going to be anything exciting. even the higher spec cars aren't anything to get excited about,despite what euro snobs and the magazines who also rave about each new model of commodore or falcon say.

the 135i is a 3L turbo 6

the 125i is the same motor but non turbo AFAIK.

the 130i is also a 3L 6 but im not sure of the engine specs. i think around the 200kw mark

i think there is an M 130 or 135 that hauls ass.

The 135i Sport is powered by the same 3.0-litre twin turbo straight-six engine found in the 335i and pumps out 225kW and 400Nm. BMW says the new engine will manage rapid fire acceleration and impressive economy as well as low emissions.
