Think you'll find the A45 is far from the best. It's certainly the quickest but is only 0.4 seconds quicker to 60 than the M140i.. That's incredibly close. The interior of the A45 looks great but wares incredibly quickly from personal experience) Plus feeling the back end kick out in a rear wheel drive 1 series is far more exhilarating than feeling like you're on rails at every given moment. i'll take an m140i over an a45 any day - a couple of bolt ons and a remap would leave you slaying A45s for days if you really wanted to match them in straight line performance....

because it does it while getting 30mpg, not 20mpg. And also over 100g/km less CO2. While that is a bit boring, the engine itself is capable of far more than the 335bhp it had in this car.
