I had no engine mods done and the car still dyno'd at 330bhp! Which was more than my Z4M which came at 327BHP!
In addition to the list below I also had the performance exhaust fitted - that was VERY LOUD! Just ask Dario!

Hi Guys,
I've recently changed my 3 Series Edition M Sport & Z4M Roadster for a 135i M Sport Coupe due to a change in job and no longer needing two cars. The 135i gives me the performance of the M and the luxury of the 3 series.
The spec of the car is:
135i M Sport Coupe, Manual
Sapphire Black
Black Leather
Heated Seats
Carbon Fibre rear spoiler
Xenons
BMW Performance, Aero Kit (front & rear bumpers, side skirts), short shift & pedal set
Black Grills
Performance Steering Wheel
Custom HIFI
Sun Protection Glass
Heated Seats
Pro Nav
Bluetooth
Voice Control
PDC
Rain Sensor, Auto lights
I'll do a full running report & comparisons to the Z4M when I get some time.
The thing that has struck me the most with this car, aside from the performance & handling is the build quality. It is excellent and most of the time on the commute to work I do think I am in my previous 3 series. The interior uses the same plastics, trim and design traits.
So far:
Highs
- Performance (its goes like ***k)
- Handling (excellent feedback, minimal bodyroll and very progessive on the limit)
- Build Quality
- Very high grade trim
Lows
- Its drinking fuel at the moment. Reviews suggest this will improve with more miles. I think that this weekend in Wales will see 16-19mpg
- The bridgestone RE050's are very crashy. Not as bad as some cars, but still not good. Michellin ZPs are the way to go! These will be swapped out very quickly indeed - as soon as Michellin make the required sizes!
The pics below are a bit of a mixture!
