However, come midway 2024, it\u2019s going to be replaced by an entirely new generation of 1 Series, which will get its own M Performance variant\u2014the M140i. When the M140i does finally launch, it will get quad exhausts, like all new M Performance cars, as seen in these new spy photos. (We don\u2019t own the photos but you can see them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/603369\/bmw-1series-m135i-facelift-spied\/\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Judging from the spy photos, it doesn\u2019t look all that different from the current car. The back end looks a bit sleeker but it mostly looks the same. In fact, it\u2019s hard to spot any real differences between the new car and this current car. The quad exhausts give it away, so we know it\u2019s the new car, but if they weren\u2019t there I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d be able to tell.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the grille seems a big wider and its headlights seem a bit different. But it\u2019s going to be a super subtle update for the next generation. The interior might get quite the update, though. It will obviously get BMW\u2019s new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/08\/05\/bmw-2-series-idrive-8\/\">iDrive 8<\/a>, the new gauge cluster, and probably a lack of physical climate controls because BMW likes to punish its customers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_432384\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-432384\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-432384\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw m135i hatchback 02 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw m135i hatchback 02 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-432384\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw m135i hatchback 02 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-bmw-m135i-hatchback-02.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw m135i hatchback 02 830x553\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-432384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by instagram.com\/wilcoblok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The next-gen BMW M140i will replace the M135i but it will essentially be the same car. So expect a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with over 300 horsepower and all-wheel drive. However, don\u2019t let the quad exhausts fool you, the M140i isn\u2019t going to be some M Division version of the 1 Series. That isn\u2019t going to happen, as BMW M feels that front-wheel drive dilutes the brand (but million-pound SUVs won\u2019t, right?)<\/p>\n<p>Expect to see the new BMW 1 Series debut halfway through 2024, when the current-gen car dies off. It\u2019s unclear if the M140i will launch with every other model or if it will come later. But expect it sometime in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/603369\/bmw-1series-m135i-facelift-spied\/\">Motor1<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This generation BMW M135i still has some life left in it, with about two years left to go.
