The one that came with your car is best. The 1Ms come with Bosch so I think the 135i will also. Use Bosch if that's the case. I have seen E46s run bad on Bosch plugs that came with NGK. Not sure why. My best friend owns an independent BMW Mercedes shop and he has seen cars that ran rough after a plug change. Only to put the NGKs back on and it runs like a swiss watch.

Not necessarily a knock on Bosch, but the cars are very sensitive these days and there was probably a reason they went with NGK or Bosch for a model.

if your running stock boost use bosch, any sort of tune run ngk's and heat range varies on your driving style and boost level.
