135 Sport package V. 128 Sport package?

Can someone please educate me on the difference? I've read where the sport package on the 128i is essentially the same as the base 135. The M sport package on the 135 (2012 anyway) appears to consist of cosmetic upgrades and no change to the actual suspension....

Am I correct to assume that there is only one factory suspension option on the 135.....which is the same as the 128i sport package....?

The newb appreciates any insight that is shared!

30 views and no response! I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't know...

All 135s have the same suspension to the best of my knowledge.

Sport package adds different seats, wheels, and some badging.

In the 128
you get a different suspension which i believe is very similar to the stock 135, it however rides on 17s so i'm sure the tuning is slightly different.

in the 128 the M sport package also has an external aero kit which looks great imho, and different wheels.

Moral of story in my book is you want a sport package for the seats in any car, and on the 128 it's almost a no brainer as the seats and suspension are ideal enhancements.

They should have the bmw perf suspension as an option, from what i've read that would be worthwhile. I personally don't think the stock 135 or sport 128 suspension is taut enough for me, but the seats are worth it...
