BM,
Can you post up some more pics of your car also? Looks like some bits of the Sport Edition is the same as what we are "suppose" to get with our 135is.
Thanks!

Congrats man. Kinda makes me wish I had went with the is now instead of ordering the 135. But it really would have been an inconvience for me because the 135is is for the USA only and cant be delivered in europe and I'm moving to Spain (I'm military). So it would have to be shipped stateside then I would have to ship it Spain on my orders and wait for it all over again. Way to much hassle so I wound up ordering the 135 an it can be dropped off right n Spain once it's done in Germany. Again though beautiful car. Hope it's everything you wanted and more.

@ yaymitch Sergio Martinez

@ NYC6 The taillights seem like normal ones and Mirror Covers were also missed. They are car color. So far love the car!

@ Keif Attached pics below and the tail lights seem normal not darklines. BTW it sounds awesome!

@ magid I love the color. The base color is black and the metallic seems blue so when light hits it it looks dark blue!

@ jkoral it says 135is

@ 1tobeon2wheels the cover seems to be part of the smokers package. I didn't order that but it's there... I haven't seen it on 2012 135i's but I never saw a manual 135i or an auto with the smokers package.

@ damills not sure what it is called. So far the pre-release info is not the same as production model. (grill, mirror covers, tail lights)

@ BM125 I agree...

Thank you everyone for the comments!

Yeah that situation sux. Surprised you couldn't buy it from a US dealer and do European Delivery then have the Military bring it back. If it's like it was when I was in, you have to take one there to bring one back for free. Anyways, regardless of the differences with what I "thought" the car would have on it vs whats on it I still love it! It looks, sounds, and drives amazing!

So Ray, your side mirrors are also CB (body color)? WTH!

From looking more closely at the 135is press release pics, it does look like the grilles aren't completely black, but I can live with that and get the grilles from Tischer. But no blk side mirrors? And I guess the blackline taillights remain uncertain.

Let us know what you find out at the dealer!

I can't believe BMW released this car without upgrading the rear diffuser to balance out the extra long pipes of the BMW Performance exhaust...When i bought my 135i before pickup i had the Performance Exhaust installed at the dealer sight unseen....IMO It looked bad with the pipes sticking out tooooooooooo much and made the car look like i just put on a exhaut at Midas...I made a BIG complaint at my dealership only to learn that the BMW Performance Exhaust was to be paired with the BMW Performance CF Diffuser for "proper" fit and looks...Otherwise it looks bizare to me as well as to all my fellow enthusiasts that saw my car prior to putting on a diffuser...My BMW dealership agreed with me on this and felt there should be a notice explaining the situation and actually felt so bad as to give me a credit voucher for refitting and cutting theexhaust to fit and look right...I instead bought a diffuser.....Otherwise nice car dude..sorry to rant but to me this is just wrong what BMW is doing with the exhaust...it is bush leage crap ....

I will. It is Carbon Black. The color is awesome! I just don't know what to think about the differences. The release had very specific info and so far it is very different. One thing is, I don't remember anywhere saying it would have the adaptive headlights. My headlights move when turning. I will get some answers. I don't think I'll mention the headlights just yet to the dealer. I will post their response.

I was surprised when the release photos showed only single exhaust, but you are right about the length. I'm going to have to price a diffuser...

Since the blackline taillights are not DOT approved, I didn't think they were ever intended for the 135is.

I thought the only model they come standard on is the 135i Sport Plus Edition sold in other markets (which also has black side mirrors).

441 Smoker's pack is now standard across the range

524 Adaptive light control is standard on the 135 range

Regarding what Izaglo commented is concerning to me as well. In the press relase pics (which apparently mean nothing at the present time), the exhaust tips are pictured with nice "finished" tips.

Looks like I'll be raising hell when I pick mine up....

Yeah, it looks like the pics we are all looking at: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=691753

Are of a euro-spec model, but tied to the NA release!

Well I could have bought from a us dealer I suppose but then I wouldn't get the military sales discount price. I ordered thought pentagon car sales overseas an the sales rep told me none ordering an is has to pick it up stateside and that it won't be delivered in Europe because it's a model for the us only. Also I'm in Korea right now so I would have had to take a trip home jus to order. I jus ordered through the pcs dealer here snd it will be delivered to span when it's done. I will be arriving around the sme time it should be there.

@ damills the trim is glacier silver aluminum trim. I went and got the window sticker. It shows the adaptive headlights and lists the is configuration as 313 wheels, sport seats, glacier aluminium trim, sport suspension, M steering wheel, shadow line exterior trim, and Anthracite headliner.

Dont worry about the length of the exhaust. My Berk exhaust looked the same with the stock diffuser, but with the BMW CF Performance diffuser is mates up perfectly.

Strange....why doesn't it also list PPK and PE under the "is" configuration.
This is BS about the grille and side mirrors. What did the dealer say?

They still didn't put the performance diffusor yet? Congratulation on the new car though, it will look best with the diffusor

You got me all worried!.. My 135is is arriving in NY/NJ port this Thursday. I hope the mirrors are correct and grill. The Window sticker should have mentioned something about the PE and PPK..

Right...you would think the sticker would note PE and PPK.

There is no question that the side mirrors are "suppose" to be black, but the grille looks to have the chrome surround unfortunately...

I'm also pissed about the PE look and standard diffuser.

Your 135is will help confirm whether there might be some quirks coming from the factory...fingers crossed.

Thanks!
Sure .... here are a couple more pics. It seems that BMW make changes to the package per location and that release pictures are used globally but specs change on a country by country basis. My mirrors are painted carbon black which I prefer but I'm not sure if that is because of the car colour being dark. I saw a white Sport Edition Plus and it had the black mirror covers. Australia doesnt get the stainless pedals like the photos and the grills are gloss black but with chrome surround. I ordered mine sight unseen and took a chance on the Carbon Black. Its a fantastic colour when clean but a PITA to keep it that way. Anyway ..... I love mine as it is.
