FYI, my front and rear wheel gap looked huge on pick up ride height has settled a bit and now looks like it was ment. While I would like to drop it a bit more its just not practical with the driveway I have.

It's possible I guess. If PPK is not an option, which on the iS it's standard, then I can see why the sticker wouldn't show it. If it were an option added on I'm sure it would then appear on the sticker to show that option. Looks like BMW did it to US customers again with the no fog light business. My ordered 335i Msport won't have fog lights either, but the rest of the world gets them. BMW claims it's because of the extreme heat in the US, so leaving the fog lights out allows for more air flow. It's really silly. Most of us don't live in Death Valley. The vast majority of the US doesn't get any hotter than it can get in Australia or Spain, yet they get fog lights. No biggie though, I don't really need them. |

I spoke to the dealer and was told the grills and mirror covers changed just prior to production. -Ray |

BMWNA changed their mind about US-spec cars getting the black grilles and mirror covers...or Your car missed out on the blk grilles/mirrors?

I spoke with my CA today and told him about this possible issue. He looked over the 335is which the 135is is supposed to be similar to and the 335is has the black kidney grill (no chrome) and black mirror caps. You can go to BMWUSA.com and in the build your own section look at the 335is. |

Its been a while since I looked over any of my new cars windows stickers but if I recall correctly even standard features are listed. I would think the PPK and PE would be there. Can anyone confirm?

That is not cool... Well my CA knows how I feel about this already so if the car comes without these aesthetics I hope then can resolve it. It really does set the car apart from the rest and it would have been something I would have done if it didn't come with the grill or mirror caps, but the fact that it was part of the press release was a bonus.

So up until now...all we can confirm for sure is that the 135is will not come with the blackline rear lights....but should come with the black mirror caps, aluminum pedals, black grill (chrome surround) correct?

There isn't one on my 11 135. And I agree, the hole there (and lack of the power outlet that existed in my 08 135) is bootleg.

Don't have ETA, but SOP is Week 37/38. Hopefully the bugs will be worked out by then
Ray, your 135is looks awesome, and like you, many of us will be PO'd if our cars don't come how we thought they were going to come from the factory.
