So I picked this up over the weekend...

[highbrowed]

Just picked this up - 2009 CPO 135i Sport, Space Grey Metallic with Coral Red Interior, 6-Speed Manual. Sooooo happy, sure beats the hell out of my e36 in terms of... well EVERY ASPECT..

Has almost every option with exception of the nav and the M-Sport package. Weird thing is I checked the VIN and it actually has the M-Sport suspension.

S704A M Sportfahrwerk M Sports suspension


Yes, these are OEM BMW LCI taillights installed by the previous owner.

Congrats!


All 135i's have the M-Sport suspension. The suspensions are the same. Its basically just a trim and sport seat package. Here is what each M-Sport options came with. The prices bellow were for my MCS 2010 135i. All 135i's get RFT (also called RSC). Canadian cars do not get the TPMS sensors inside of each alloy wheel - like US spec cars get. Canadian cars get the EU system which uses the car's ABS sensor to detect when a tire is going flat.

Leather seats are an option. Leatherette was standard. You can order the PPK stage 1 when you order the car. When the car gets to the port of entry BMW then installed the flash(PPK1) or complete PPK 2 kit.





When ordering a new 2010 135i there are TWO M-Sport options. (I think this was also the way it was for all model years: '08-'11's)

#1). ZMP option code: $1,300 (Miltary Sales price) (can not be ordered with ZSP!) which includes

2MR 18" double spoke wheels #261M
337 M-sport pack, door strips in M, shifter & hand brake all M
481 Sport seats
710 M-sport steering wheel
760 Shadowline trim
775 Anthracite headliner (black)
840 Increased top speed limiter

the "other" sport option is this one: ZSP

#2). ZSP Sport option $1,100 (mil price)


481 Sport seats
710 M-sport steering wheel
760 Shadowline trim
840 Increased top speed limiter

So... for a measly $200 you get the nice Anthracite headliner, M-double spoke wheels (same size as standard car though), M door sills and shifter/brake. I went with the ZMP on my car. I order my car thru Military Sales program. I think the US options were a $200 each more. ? I think the ZMP option is more rare from what I have seen over here. I had to special order my car the way I wanted it.

Good Luck,
Dackel

PS: IF you do not order the M-sport or sport options (and hence option #840) your car is limited to 210 kph (135mph). IF you HAVE option #840 your car is also limited but to 250 kph (155mph)!
Hope this help you out.

Great info! Thanks a bunch. Looks like I have a ZSP because I have the limiter removed, but I don't have the anthracite headliner, the M wheels, or doorsills.

Now... Does this mean that the 135i "M Sport Suspension" is the same that is also found on the 1M, with the same upper and lower control arms as the e90 M3 and stiffer bushings?


I am intoxicated by this car every time I drive it, it is constantly in my mind every second of the day..

Noop! The 1M has by far a MUCH better suspension. But everything the 1M has, can be bolted up to a "regular" 135i/128i. All it takes is some money and time.

Some early 2009 cars didn't have the headliner or wheels. I had an 09 car that was out before the Msport ZMP package was introduced.

Makes total sense, my car is an '09, but was built 12/08.

Pretty sure your car has m-sport seats.... Unless I'm seeing things
