This latest video from Autocar magazine sees Steve Sutcliffe compare two cars that, personally, we wouldn’t lump together in the same demographic, but they are both BMW products and share a virtually identical price tag: the M135i and MINI’s all-wheel drive JCW Paceman.
The Paceman is propelled by a newly developed turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder lump with variable valve control, developing 160 kW (218 hp) and a peak torque figure of 300 Nm, while the M135i is packing a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six-cylinder, which churns out a delicious 235 kW (320 hp) and 450 Nm.
A no-brainer, surely?
