I also saw maybe 2 other 135is convertibles during my search in the last few months daily online, but no manual. I did love the IS steering wheel (not sure if it's standard) but it's shaped differently from the 135i I bought coming my way. I'd like to look into retrofitting that style wheel on my 135i.
I'd just get the performance steering wheel at that point. It's expensive and hard to find but it lights up, has a display, and yadda yadda. Looks cool. I wanted one. (Even though I have a DCT and it auto-upshifts on me - so what's the point of shift lights...)
