+1 It looks like the value of our OEM wheels just went up.

This is for the 128i only guys, and the ugly 18" M wheels you see there are for the 3 series. They're not like what you'd get on the 128i or 135i.

So what does the M Sport wheel look like for the 135i? I have seen the ones from across the pond that are 5 split spoke...is that what we get also?

Yes they are the same.

Style 261M, they show up on the BMWUSA sight when you add ZMP.

Do you think they have the coupe and convertible prices switched?
I would think the coupe would be more.

Good news!!! Now deciding between the 3-series and 1-series and going to be even harder!

could be, looking at the 3 series prices that seems possible...

Anybody know what the style number is for those 128i M-Sport wheels?

207m

Ooooh, nice! Thanks.

My next question is, what is the M Aeodynamic package for 128i? Does it look like the 135i (like the pic above), or is it the "tii" kit?

[hbdunn2003]

I am pretty sure iis the same as the 135. That is the what you get in the rest of the world when you order M sport models,
You end up with the same body of a 135 but with foglights and 17" M wheels.

I just placed an ED order on a Le Mans Blue one for my wife.

Across the pond? Just North of you in Vancouver - 261M Sport Wheels - we've always had the M-Sport in Canada!

Can you order the 128i with ZMP in any offered color for the 128i, not just Lemans Blue, so only difference between 128i and 135i ZMP package is

High Gloss trim around windows instead of shadow line
Different wheels

Any dealer know the cost difference, its $1300 for the 135i, what will it be for the 128i, what Im looking difference between (if ZMP is same price for both 128i and 135i) is around $5k

Any dealer out there who can answer the question

P.S.

So you get the same front bumper as the 135i ZMP package, is it any different than the 135i coupe bumper offered before the ZMP package, any pictures anywhere?

First, this world wide financial disaster seems to be making BMW a little more flexible with what they'll let us have in the US. Is BMW Individual next?

As for the ZMP for the 128i, which is wonderful news for us non-turbo fans, here's some questions.

1. What's the invoice price?

2. The bulletin says the ZMP is available with 6 colors on the coupe and 5 colors on the convertible. Other than LeMans Blue, what are the other available colors?

3. What is Aluminum M Trim?

Now, we need the 255HP motor. Wouldn't that be perfect?

Thanks!!!!

Since the picture of the 123d seemed so helpful, I went looking at www.bmw.co.uk and checked out the 123d M Sport. The six available colors are Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Le Mans Blue, Sedona Red, Space Gray and Titanium Silver. No guarantees that we'll get the same six colors in the States, but I'd say it's likely.

There is brushed aluminum trim pictured on the site as well.

I'm guessing the aluminum trim is going to be similar to the one they had available on the 3er in the past (I think they still do on certain models). It's not textured like the Glacier on the 135i; its a very smooth aluminum silver.

My order for a 128 M Sport came up with Glacier trim N/C.
