IEDEI It's just a body style. I think if BMW had made more than 740 of them for sale in the US, there wouldn't be as many cosmetically converted 135i's. For example, I can't justify paying original MSRP for a car with 30k miles on it. The rest of the parts underneath are pretty minor. The majority of the difference is suspension arm weight, with a couple of them having bearings in one end, the front LCA, rear lower camber link and rear toe arms being the only ones with different geometry as a whole, which in the rear was essentially only a function of the necessity of the rear M3 subframe so they could use the M diff.
Folks grafting OEM BMW 1M panels to their existing 1er has very little in common with the others who are putting fake M styled bumpers on their cars.
