BMW's smallest 5 door sport hatch is going to be quick, all-wheel drive and did we mention a hatchback?

My plan is to use the 1 series 5 door hatch images from the "Sport line" and note them as such. My story will start out something like "Fans wept when the M135 was discontinued this past year..." Now they can again but an M135, but only if they like the hatch body style and AWD...

In an office someplace in Germany or on Madison Ave. is a whiteboard with the whole rollout planned with dates, places, to-do items etc. That's why we are so cool. We can see a crappy spec sheet in SI units and make it into tthe story they wanted next week. And only we know without even thinking that the M135 was built in tiny numbers and then discontinued. Only you and me would ever know if we posted the 5 series Sport Line image and called it the M135 Xdrive. But by pointing it out we keep the article clean.
