Looks like the fact that the US is the LARGEST consumer of BMWs in the world is finally allowing us to have some of the good stuff.
N54 engine is standard. No official word on power ratings will be but it looks like it's leaning towards being detuned slightly.
M-sport kit comes STANDARD. The front bumper is VERY reminiscent of the E46 M3. Sideskirts are aggressive and accentuates the flared fenders. Trunklid has an integrated lip spoiler.
6-piston Brembo front brakes STANDARD.
Pricing will be in the $30-35k range depending on options.
Bye-bye E46 M3, HELLO 135i!!!

I don t think 135i will get 6 pistons brembo brakes.
