Only a few days after the introduction of the M135i, BMW has officially revealed the 135is Coupe and Convertible.
Set to go on sale in the U.S. this fall, the models are distinguished by gloss black accents, a high-gloss black grille, a sport-tuned suspension and exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin comes with sport seats with M-blue contrast stitching, stainless steel pedals and special badging.
According to the German carmaker, the 135is also features a new differential with an electronic rear brake management system, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), better brakes and a performance exhaust system.
Power comes from a TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine (N55) with 320 hp and 429 Nm of torque - an increase of 20 hp and 23 Nm. It can be mated to a standard six-speed manual or an optional seven-speed Double Clutch Transmission.
The 2013 BMW 135is coupe will start at $44,145, while the convertible costs $48,845, including the $895 destination and handling charge.
