BMW 135 2026 Price in UAE

The M135 xDrive is the hot hatch BMW builds instead of a 1 Series M — all-wheel drive, a mechanical limited-slip differential on the front axle, and a body most people mistake for the base car. It is the fastest thing in the 1 Series range and the only one that is not front-driven.

How much does the BMW M135 cost in the UAE?

AED 272,500 is the whole price list — a single 2026 M135, in M135 xDrive Masterclass form. Masterclass is the top equipment grade BMW offers on this body, so the car arrives complete and the open decisions come down to paint and wheels. Nothing sits above it in the 1 Series range.

What makes the M135 different from a 118i?

Almost everything under the skin. It uses the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 rather than the three-cylinder, sends 300 HP through xDrive all-wheel drive, and adds a limited-slip differential to stop that output scrabbling away at a junction. The shell and the doors are shared; the chassis, brakes and steering underneath are not.

BMW M135 or Mercedes-AMG A-Class?

The M135 is the more usable of the two, quick enough to embarrass most things away from the lights while riding well enough to commute in every day. The Mercedes A-Class in AMG form is the more aggressive car, louder and harder-edged, which is either the point or the problem depending on your roads. A 330i costs similar money and is the grown-up alternative.

What does a BMW M135 cost to run in the UAE?

More than the badge on the boot suggests, because this is a properly quick all-wheel-drive car and the tyres, brakes and insurance are all priced against the output rather than the size. Servicing splits geographically: AGMC looks after Dubai and the Northern Emirates, Abu Dhabi Motors the capital. Treat tyres as a recurring cost, not an occasional one.

Take it on a rough road before you commit — this is the car in the range that most rewards an honest test drive. Take that test drive to the used BMWs listed now as well.
