Mesh Y-spoke wheels are very popular on this car (and it seems like every other car, these days), and are probably aftermarket. The 1M wheels were 19", and would not fit your 135i without some modification.

All 135i's had the 6-piston Brembos as standard.
Yes, what he said is correct. VO was not offered until 2011 and only on 1M that year. Later on other 1 series. There are MBW Style 359 ZCP wheels in 18" that are replicas but now way the 1M wheels would fit the 135i without some serious modification. Despite what so many out there think that the 1M was just a 135i with bigger wheels, the quarter panels and fenders are different. Much wides and wheels use M3 offsets. 25 rear and 31mm in front. 135 wheels are narrows and have higher offsets in the high 40s which would make them stick out about 20mm before even adding more for the extra wide 9" and 10" 1M wheels.

Congrats on your new ride....awesome car!
