This should be just 135is IMHO.
Just look at E89 z4 35i and 35is spec difference.
I am almost certain this spec is identical to E89 z4 35is engine.
Stupid naming. If this is M, then z4 35is should be called M.
There was 45hp between the E30 and E36 in the US 15yrs ago.
There was 49 between the E30 and E36 EU + two cylinders.
There was 12 between the E36 and E46.
There was 70 between the E46 and E92 + two cylinders........

What is so bad with the 30+hp using the same engine? We know it is going to be detuned. Plus this is the base design for the new M3 engine.........
