135i vs 135is Visual Differences
This is not another 135i vs 135is comparison thread, I just want to know are there any visual differences between the car aside from wheels and exhaust (tips)? Are fenders, bumpers, hood, trunk, and diffuser all the same? Guess what I'm asking is badge, wheel and exhaust tips aside, is there a way to tell the difference between the 2 cars?

To add on to what IEDEI said, first it depends if you're comparing a base 135 or 135 with m sport package. So, comparing a 135i with m sport package to 135is, the visual differences exterior/interior are:
I actually have some good side by side photos I did back in the day when I was debating and trying to visually see the differences between a 135i and 135is I can upload if that helps. Last edited by gregthegr8; 08-28-2013 at 12:56 PM.. |

Thanks, reason I ask is because in anticipation of my new purchase, I'm trying to look at different clear bra options but some makes only list 135i, so wanted to see if the pieces would still fit. Many thanks.

So, no panels or anything are different, just some coloring will be black, but won't affect that. |

Yep - I put a 135i clear bra on mine. No problems.

What sections did you wrap? I'm thinking at very least, front bumper and mirrors. But then deciding between partial hood & fenders vs rear bumper. If I had it my way, I'd wrap the entire car lol but I still need to set aside budget for prep, opticoat and tints.

If you had to choose between partial hood and full rear bumper sans difuser, which would you choose? Street parking (when unavoidable) can do a number on your back bumper, but debris from track/freeway can easily find its way on the bumper... |
