Changes from 2011 to 2012 135i coupes

What are the subtle changes BMW did this year to differ the 2012 from the 2011 135i coupe?

Headlights, tail lights, wheels. These are the biggest I've noticed.

Also, some things are not standard anymore, such as the value package which includes leather and iPod package. I believe the iPod connectivity will still be included but not the leather. Apparently they only made leather standard for 2011.

BMW Apps!

Although I think it may have been offered on late-production 2011s as well. And I may be the only one who cares about it anyway.

Also, isn't the otional DCT about $1,000 cheaper in 2012? And I notice that Lumbar is no longer available and Leather is not listed anymore as a stand alone option.

^ They made lumbar standard along with the power seats. And leather is still available standalone, as far as I can tell...

Is there any new body work on it?

No, unless you count the front bumpers on non m-sport 128i models.

i've only noticed the wheels and that's about it.

only time will tell until i finally see mine and notice what these differences are.

does anyone know if there's any mechanical differences?

I believe just headlights, and taillights

I would think that there were some mods made to the engine system. When I look into mods such as JB4... they stop at 2011 models. 2012 models are listed separately.
