European motor sports magazines have been frequently conducting tests of the premieres in car industry. Usually, those are tests of the cars which came straight from the factory but sometimes the journalists perform tests of the upgraded cars as well. Four cars took part in the tests we are going to describe and all four of them were BMW M135i’s but all of them were different: two cars have full-wheel drive and 8-speed automatic gearbox; the other two have rear wheel-drive with 6-speed manual gearbox. All 4 of them were upgraded by the European tuning studios and you can find the results below. Rear-wheel drive modification customised by TUNINGWERK studio turned out to be the fastest on a straight line. The best lap result was shown by a full-wheel drive version customised by LIGHTWEIGHT.
