Drive.com.au tests BMW 135i

Fifth Gear – Series 13, Episode 5

Fifth Gear 13x05Episode five of the current series of Fifth Gear featured the much anticipated comparo between the BMW 135i and the Porsche Cayman (see two part youtube clips below). A short interview with Moto-X legend and rallying hopeful Travis Patrana showed some of his amazing career highlights. The second hand star saw Johnny looking for the best deal under £2400, I’d take his Mk2 Golf GTI 8 valve I reckon. And there was a bunch of daft scooters as well.

Other cars featured in Episode 5 include:

  • Renault Twingo GT v Fiat Panda 100hp at Anglesea
  • Land Rover Freelander v Nissan X-Trail
  • BMW 135i v Porsche Cayman
