The 135is should be relatively rare, but is also reproducible by adding bits to a 135i MSport coupe.  |
Huge fan of the 135is but I think these numbers comparison to M cars are misleading. Cars like the M3 have different sheetmetal altogether, aluminum suspension, even the shock housings, different steering, brakes, etc. Some of the stuff is not bolt on. While the 135is is the baddest 135i package it is all bolt on options. The only substantial difference from a regular 135i is the extra radiator and 20 horsepower but that was a BMW performance kit you could buy. So again, love the 135is especially in Blue but the comparisons on numbers are misleading IMHO.
