Another Black 135i
Credit goes to jim328i. Pic taken at the Performance Delivery Center in Greer, SC.
Edit: I just noticed the numbers on the front tag. This is the same car that was shown to BMW Center employees at various locatons throughout the US. |

This is actually pretty exciting.
That must be the 128 if it's not a 135 and it's in America (I know it's a Euro-spec car, but still). Those brakes look mighty big, even if they're not the full BMW branded 6-pot stoppers. Actually, maybe it is a 135i, judging by the size of the brakes and the rear lip spoiler... Hmmm... Am I correct in concluding that it has Shadowline trim? I hope they give us that option. The interior looks, maybe, like Lemon?? |

That does not matter, this is a Euro spec 135i. The trim is Shadowline which is part of the M Sport Pkg. in Europe. Also notice the front bumper cover (M Sport) and the front calipers (6 pot). |

i'm guessing that's a 135 based on the size of the front breaks ... something that looks like a small spoiler on the back and a large opening in front for the intercooler... if it is the same one that was in the earlier black photos then yeah it appears to be lemon ... i don't care for the wheels but the rest is hot. did i mention :wub: |

It is the same car that was previously viewed by BMW Center Employees.

Sweet! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled in case it goes out on the open road. I work about 10 miles from there in Greenville. I saw two of the Z4 M coupes cruising down the interstate about a month before they were anounced.

I hope Shadowline trim is at least available on the 135i, though I doubt it will be... I love it on my ZHP, though I have almost burned my arm on it a few times when rolling down the window and sticking my arm out for whatever reason. It gets hot! If its not available and I do purchase a 135i, it'll be one of the first things to change, I just dont do chrome...

^ but every "US" picture so far has chrome trim...
Look at BMWUSA.com, all of the pictures of that model have chrome trim. Doesnt mean it couldnt change, but I have a feeling we'll see it just as it is on that site...

The blacked-out shadowline trim had better be available to us or some modification/treatment to the glaring and tacky chrome-lookin' trim will be in order. With the 264 wheels that's as good as it gets.
