According to the BMW website the 135i Coupé accelerates from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.3 seconds, however Car and Driver magazine recorded 4.7 seconds for 0-60 mph acceleration, and a quarter mile time of 13.3 seconds at 106 mph (171 km/h). Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155.3 mph). Fuel efficiency is increased to 30.7 mpg-US (7.66 L/100 km; 36.9 mpg-imp), an improvement of 18% compared to its predecessor.

In early 2006 the 5-speed manual transmission in the 116i and 118i was phased out in favor of the 6-speed gearbox available across the rest of the range.
