Unfortunatly no pricing at the show... (????)

But I got to see my new toy!!!!! OH BOY!!!! WHAT A NICE CAR!!!!! I was leaning between an Infiniti G37 and the 135i. After two road test with the G37 and one with a 335i I made my decision. And tonight when I saw the 135i it confirmed I made the right decision. The interior does not please me 100% but the rest does. Especialy the fun I'll have driving it. The G37 had a much better sound but it drove like my grand father's car.

60 more days to wait!!!

Great pics El Diablo. Is that an extra cup holder attached to the transmission tunnel on the front passangers side?

I see the pics show that although the car has the sports package, it appears that you will not be getting the M door sills in Canada (possibly that means the States as well?)

I believe (and hope) we do get them here as part of our SP.

I believe this is the first show car in North America that definitively has an oil cooler (although, with the anthracite headliner, it's definitely a Canuck specced car). Awesome pictures, El Diablo! After seeing the new aluminum trim up that close, I might've ordered it...

I am not so sure if this car is 100% NA spec. The reason is that there is no "year one of one" which is suppose to be on all NA 1er on the ignition button. Please correct me if I am wrong.

larryn, you made the right choice with the black trim interior. Now that I've seen the glacier aluminum up close in those pictures I definitely don't like it. Is there any way to get the anthracite headliner in the States?

Unless you want to order the anthracite headliner cloth, and have it installed yourself, there's no way to order it from the factory in the States. I wish we could get it. They reserve the black headliner for pricier models (M cars too) in the US.

I noticed the oil cooler too - but the lack of the M door sill with the M package makes me think this is not a fully Canuck specced car as the M sill is definitely part of the M Sport package here:

Quote:
M Sport Package (135i Coupé only)
• 18” M Double Spoke alloy wheels – Style 261M, with mixed width performance run-flat tires
• Anthracite roof liner
• M Sport steering wheel
• M entry sill, driver foot rest and gearshift knob (with manual transmission)
• High-gloss shadow line
• Available with complete Paint, Upholstery & Trim or additionally with exclusive M equipment:
o LeMans Blue metallic paint
o Aluminum Glacier Silver interior trim
All of which leads me to conclude that we can't be certain that the oil cooler will be standard up here, or even part of the sport package. I can't see why US-spec models would not get a cooler and we would - we do get hot weather (85+ in the summer) but not to the extremes experienced in the States, so it would seem illogical - unless they add it to compensate for what is likely to be a 20%+ pricing premium here.

Great point! Was the Start/Stop bezel engraving for all of NA, or just the US? EU cars don't have the Year of the One bezel either.

In addition to the lack of the M sill - note the lack of the aluminium M-sport driver footrest.

El Diablo - I especially appreciated your photos with folks standing next to the car, gives a stronger sense of the compactness of it, which I am really liking.

That interior - is it leather or leatherette? If it's Canuck specced it has to be black, but it seems awfully grey... or is that just your camera?
