Is there anything in the VIN decoder that denotes a 135is vs a 135i?

I don't see a difference and I'm concerned off looking at a car that someone just put an "is" badge on.

Thanks

You can check the VIN against this list made by one of our members.

Look for option code P7MFA in a VIN decoder.

In the US, that is a 135is, in Canada that is the 135i "M Sport Edition", which is the same car but includes black line tails.

Aren't there other differences between the Canadian M Sport Edition and the US built 135is?

Wait... of course there were other differences. Dumb question on my part. D'oh! At the US port they added PPK2, the Performance exhaust, and the little badges, right? Anything else?

That's it. They left Germany built the same.
