It left Germany built exactly the same as the IS, you can't tell them apart if you run the VIN through a decoder.

Then just added the PPK2 and PE exhaust myself.

Edit: there was actually one difference with the Canadian cars. We got the black line tail lights, while the IS did not.

Thanks MMT. What about the 313s? Did they come on this special edition or did you have them put on?

Sorry, edited my post. Yes, came standard equipment with the 313's.

Whoops! I didn't catch that. Thanks.

What is the difference between the regular and blackline taillights?

c1pher · 05-21-2017, 03:14 PM

Also, my 135is does not have the blue stitching. Was that with a certain leather pkg?

Blackline on the left, stock LCI taillight (like your 135is) on the right.

Those look nice. Easy to install? I'm thinking these and some angel eyes would be lovely.

BMW p/n 63212225282 for a pair. Try schmiedmann.com. Usually has the best price.

Was one of the options, black with blue stitching. The floor mats also came black with blue piping on the edges.

Bet that goes really good with LeMans Blue.

Yes, yes it does.

Kind of a silly question, but can somebody post a pic of a black drivers side floor mat? There are so many variations out there I can't figure out what should have come with the car originally. 2009 135i, BSM exterior with black & beige int.

I've got weathertech's in there now because I'm in a sandy area, but it would be nice to toss a set of mats in there sometimes instead of the plastic...

That's nice I top out at 25mpg. Maybe I need a new fuel pump

BikeNHV · 12-29-2020, 11:11 AM

Old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one for what's probably a dumb question:

I know that 2008-09 have smaller mirrors vs. 2010+.

My memory is hazy, but back in 2015 I looked at an 08 (sport, I think) and 09 (base) 128i in the same day. I knew nothing about these cars at the time. I could have SWORN that the 08 had smaller mirrors than the 09. Or maybe it was different mirror glass?
I ended up buying that 09 and still have it, 05/2009 build date, has smaller mirrors than 10+.

rreyes · 02-15-2021, 08:24 AM

Good a query, do you think that the 135i coupe will be a car that will be worth over time or will it be one of the bunch? Are only the m going to be listed?

Not sure if this applies to this thread, but hopefully someone could shed some light on my question. I have a m-sport 2009 135i, and I need to replace the DME wiring harness. These are very hard to find, but may be able to get one from a m-sport 2008 135i. My question is if that will work. It seems as if it would considering the similarities in the models, just wanted some conformation. Any help would be great!
