Hi. FYI the 1M does not share a transmission with the 135 (or any other car). It is a bespoke Getrag specifically for the 1M.

Peace.
It was bespoke when it came out in 2011 with new coatings on the synchros hence LT-5 fluid and all the confusion that came about but they used the transmission in the last two years of 135i. So mostly correct. It was also different from the Z4 when it came out. While the engine was sourced from it the transmission was an improved version and it also might have been used on later z4s. That is where the confusion exists.
