I hate to tell you this, but BMW didn't invent the "Hot Hatch" with the M135i. The VW GTI and Ford RS preceded it by more than 30 years. Let alone the Omni GLH of the 1980's and the Honda Civic SI just to name a few.

IF anything, BMW is late to the Hot Hatch party by several decades.
I know that (and never stated that) 2012 the M135i brought it to another level (according to Chris Harris) Of course the GTI was the first icon with at that time incredible 115hp
