It was a former CPO car and has a good maint. history. Any advice is much appreciated. This is a car I've wanted for quite some time so am excited to compare it to my wife's car which is an absolute blast. It will be a weekend toy for me.

Add MHD Tuning as well. You can change Maps via an App on your phone. Super good.

Mine is Carbon Black as well

Just saw #104 pop up on CarGurus if anyone is looking. Looks to be a 1 of 1 with color combo and 6 speed. Not the cleanest CarFax but definitely rare

If you have one what number is yours of production

Don’t know the number. All I know is that it is a 1 of 1 example

Check your VIN on this list to find what build number your car is.

One more thing I hoped was for BMW to at least offer sunroof delete simply for the head room.

Sorry for random bump, but is it true that no 135is's were made as a slicktop, or even had the option? I've seen a few 128i's with the sunroof delete, but not any 135i.

I've also been trying to figure out what version of the n55 the 135is got, specifically whether it got a forged crank.
