This E82-generation BMW 135i M Sport Coupe is a potent compact performance car, equipped with the very rare M Performance Package, featuring lesser-seen and sought-after factory options. Power comes from the BMW N54 twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six engine, producing up to 225kW and sending it to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The odometer displays 122,300 km, and the car has had three owners from new. It benefits from a routine service in February 2023 at 120,001 km. This 135i M Sport is finished in Sedona Red, over black leather upholstery for the seats and door card inserts, which is accented by gloss carbon-fibre trims. It rides on 18-inch ‘Style 269’ alloys. The rare M Performance Package specified includes the upgraded wheels (which were otherwise a $3300 option), and the car also features the factory-fitted short-shifter, and the ‘F1-inspired’ steering wheel (a $1800 option). The seller states there are no other such cars currently on the market with these options. Factory equipment includes electrically adjustable heated seats with two-way driver’s side memory function, the BMW Professional stereo, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, air conditioning, automatic Xenon headlights, satellite navigation, and electric windows. It also features a rare M Performance Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel with an LCD screen and LED display, and Alcantara-trimmed short gear shifter. It will be accompanied by its original owner’s manuals, the stamped service book, two sets of keys and the tool kit, jack, warning triangle, and locking wheel nut key. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there are stone chips on the bonnet, and inside there is slight wear on the driver’s side bolster. There is also discolouration on the passenger door mirror, which will be rectified before collection by the new owner. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults.
