All of the things you are missing are all part of the premium package on both the 128i and 135i. No current 1-series car has auto tilt mirrors or Bluetooth standard.
Should those things be standard? Well that is a different discussion. Personally I like the option of paying for things I want and not paying for things I do not want. It keeps the base price down.
Think of it this way, the base 128i is about $5k less than the base 328i. Why it is that much less? The engine is the same along with almost all of the other major components. Sure the car is a bit shorter and lighter but how much is saved by cutting out 8" of metal of the car? Probably not much. The rest of the price difference comes from taking out content from the 328i.
