The 135i AND 130i both have a larger hub and a 185mm handbrake shoe diameter so have no issue.

Go do some research and get back to us.
I have, the e82 and e87 run different tracks.
To clear the rears on the 130i a switch to the e82 hub flanges are required.

This is why BMW specify different rotors for the rear of the 130i. The BMWP rotor for the 135i is a different part number to the 130i 324x22 rotor which is also used on specific e9x 3-series in certain regions.

The handbrake issue for the 130i to 135i shouldn't be a problem as they run the same parts.
