Well that is disconcerting then. Maybe the 135is will also be US only.
J Lau are you able to confirm it with your source? Last edited by AndrewCowley; 04-02-2012 at 11:21 PM.. |

There are Sport editions available in Carbon Black now in Europe I know and probably other areas. They came out about 3 months ago and had the blue stitching on the seats. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...=sport+edition is a link to the post here. That is not available in the US. It may be they are doing the "is" editions of vehicles as US only so we get something special too.
I wish this had been announced a little earlier though. Gonna be a couple of years before I am ready to look at what is around then. Hoping it may be a new M135i or whatever they call it in Estoril Blue. |

Australia doesn't get the Sport editions as far as I know. Bet we miss the 'is' edition as well.
That may mean that production does end in June for Australia and other regions who are similarly cursed by BMW. |

I agree... Stage 1 PPK, different wheels, a little extra bling (pedals, seat stitching), etc. IOW, very close to a 135i, not half way between a 135i and 1M (not even close). |

It has the 313 performance wheels, blackline LCI tail lights, alloy pedals and a few more cosmetic differences. Oh ..... Carbon Black ...FTW!!! My understanding is their will be a E82 replacement sometime next year. Last edited by VGR00; 04-04-2012 at 09:54 PM.. |

It's pretty much just cosmetic. 313, blacklines, alloy pedals, edition badging, blue stitch on seats and trimming on carpet mats. Not a lot there to get excited about but the introduction of carbon black was what hooked me. All in all, i think the edition sport model just looks a tad more sofisticated (i added Innovations and Nav too). It would not surprise me that they will add the PPK at no extra or minimal increase soon.

Guys I am new to the forum but the 135is maybe means the sport edition, I don't live in the US and the local dealer here in Peru did the same thing with the hatchback which we also have here. It was available last year before they announced the new 1 series hatch. It included the biggest engine available on that model (3.0) and the m kit and they reduced the pricing on the complete package significantly. Just my 2 cents.

Sounds more like someone is trying to compensate for missing out on the 1M. |

If it is deemed a special limited run edition then it could still possibly be sold in the U.S. with the N54 engine, much like the 1 series M coupe'.
