Nope,it's most likely a 128 that has a M-Sport Body Kit. 135i's don't come with fogs, for cooling reasons...

As much as I agree its a minor issue, ambers are annoying because the color never fits a car's color scheme (unless your car looks like mateo's sig). I hope an aftermarket delete option becomes available.

I read somewhere (possibly here) that the euro lights have a performance impact stateside because they are angled for left-side driving? If that isn't the case Ill likely buy them, I bet you'd get glass covers too.

I fretted about the amber lenses for months but honestly haven't noticed them, since the car arrived. A non-issue... really.

As far as the euro lights, I'm not sure if it's setup for the left or right side of the road. Because German still drive on the right side of the road. However if you got the lights from a car in the UK more than likely they're setup for the left side.

PS couldn't agree more about the color scheme comment. The orange REALLY impacts the look of the front end on a blue car (imo)

Its obviously from a different country, it could be one of MANY engine choices with the M-Sport Body kit...

Other engines are available in other countries, we should all remember this...
