BMW 118i 2020
Carsguide CarsGuide Editor Malcolm Flynn had this to say at the time: To answer the question of whether it matters that the new 1 Series is no longer rear-wheel drive, I say no it doesn’t. It may not be as romantic on the absolute limit, but it is better in every measurable way, and still feels distinctly BMW despite moving to the conventional layout of its rivals.

The 2020 BMW 118i carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1300 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Audi RS Q3 or BMW 135i, which is more fun?
That's a rather subjective question that's almost impossible to answer. It also depends on what you call fun. Both would be fun to drive, but if I were to make the choice purely on the driving experience I would choose the BMW.
