The 135is comes with the same M Sport suspension that the standard 135i comes with.

In BMW's description of the 135is they say "the 135is is equipped with sport suspension incorporating an aluminum double-pivot front suspension and a five link fully independent rear suspension in lightweight steel," and this description might make some people think they're getting something different, but it's the same.

Check your VIN in a VIN decoder and you'll see "704 M Sport Suspension."

Yea highly doubtful it's any lighter than a similarly equipped 135i.

Bumping this thread since I just weighed my car.

2012 135i DCT fully optioned but no iDrive. Coilovers, Apex wheels, FBO.

Weighed 3,440lbs but had 30-40lbs of stuff in the trunk and full tank of gas. So approximately 3,400lbs with no driver.
