Second, I see that folks suggest that the 135i-M Sport is the same as the 135is. The 135i-M Sport in Canada is similar to our 135i with M Sport pkg with the following differences: - 313 rims versus 261, - available black leather w/blue stiching. This is also similar to the UK's 135i Sport Plus Edition. Therefore, the Canadian 135i M Sport should only be counted as a 135i and not 135is. Only the 135is in the U.S. has performance upgrades.
He knows this.

The problem he is having is that when you run the VIN's for the IS and the Canadian M sport, they come up with all the same option codes, they are built in Germany the same, and leave Germany the same. If we both take off our badges, and I put on the PE and PPK2, you could not tell a difference between our cars.

Except for a speedo in km/hr as it turns out.
