I hadn't thought about them since reading a 135is review that said the ride was harsh. Maybe I should consider Perf. springs with a set of shocks. Wonder how they'd do over TCK's White version of the Koni Yellow's???

Substract 15 mm from the Pro Kit. M Sport suspension is 15 mm lower than the standard which the measurements (and most likely the suspension kit) are based on. 30-35 mm=15-20 mm in case of 135's. However, expect more since the 135's have a heavier nose than other 1 Series variants.
Eibach Sportlines are not available for the 135i.
BMW Performance springs have a guaranteed 10mm lowering since their springs are different for each model and you give BMW your VIN code I think.
Koni Yellows & PS are a proven combo over at the E90post, too. The struts are adjustable.
Performance shocks, Dinan springs (
3002 tii 's ex):
135i's on Bilstein B12 (Bilstein B8 shocks + Eibach Pro Kit springs):
Oh crap, I just remembered: NO PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION FOR CONVERTIBLES
