Where are the ///M bits?
I clearly recall from the press releases something about M door sills, footrest, knob, and steering wheel as well as the shadowline trim. Excerpt from UK press release.
The BMW 120d Coupé will be available in ES, SE and M Sport guises, while the 123d Coupé will be offered in SE and M Sport and the 135i Coupé just as an M Sport. M Sport raises the specification bar by including 17-inch light alloy wheels on the 120d and 123d Coupé but unique 18-inch light alloy wheels on the 135i Coupé, M Aerodynamic package, M Sports suspension, Sports seats, High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim, M leather steering wheel, M designation door sills and Anthracite headlining. Entire press release available here. http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/about/new...36400_,00.html I was expecting to see steering wheel and knob similar to this (from a 3er with M Pack) but have only seen the standard... Has anyone else noticed this? I really prefer the driving feel of the ///M shifter. The throw is (seems) shorter. Also prefer the thumb rests and thickness of the M wheel. My sales guy here says that it will have it, but I haven't seen any pics with yet. Has anyone? |

I think that the pictures that we have seen of the 135i is a "hybrid" of the 128i and the 135i. Instead of photographing both a 128i and a 135i, BMW probably took features from each to give an idea of what the 128i would be like without making one. So I would imagine that the interior is what a typical 128i interior would look like.
