So where there is M135i, "135is" isn't available. 135i technically you can't get it anymore (at least not for us), so there is no overlap. yawn.

http://www.m-power.com/_open/b/varli...lang=en&x=2807 this guy says driving experience is very different for the M135i/135is from that of a 135i. I bet there are more than enough tuners here to prove him wrong.

Why, BMW, who's making those decisions? $$$ eh. I wonder if you pop a firmer suspension on a regular 135i and LSD how's that compare to the M135i.

Firmer suspension plus LSD compared to the m135??? Can't answer that question since I don't have access to the m135. My 135is has bmwp springs, Bilsteins, and a quaife so if anyone stateside managed to smuggle in an m135 we can do a comparo.
