I want if for the sound, not gaining power. BMW should offer it for all models.

I agree,BMW should do that and I´m quite sure it will..soon..And little more power is always welcome..

Yeah, because like I said earlier, the carbon looks (is) completely fake and crappy in the interior..

Carbon design.......lol. Gimme Alu any day over this cheap stuff.

Looks better than the car in these photo edits than the pics of the actual car in Munich. We'll see what favors the Geneva show pics do for these enhancements.

That's uber hot, especially the side-skirts and those rims.

What's this, a fake intake on the side skirt?

If so, that sucks.

Any update as to whether a genuine mechanical limited-slip differential will be available? From reading various forums, it seems there is definitely a demand for such an item. And if BMW continues to be cynically inclined to equip only bonafide M cars with LSD, then they will just be losing revenue to aftermarket firms poised to fill the void. (Yes, the E-diff is better than nothing, but that is not the point.)

Nothing about such diff in the performance catalogue....

I think BMW expect that people wont track their 135i and therefore dont need a real "diff".

For the vast majority, that is true. But I'm betting that quite a lot of people will. This is reflected in various threads on the 1addicts forum. In other forums (eg. S2000), some who were considering this car specifically cite the lack of a true LSD as the deal-breaker.
That BMW equips the 135i with 6-pot Brembos, sport suspension as standard, and even the E-diff is acknowledgement that some will drive these cars harder than most. Even the old E21, E30 318is and E36 ti hatch had available LSD, and those cars didn't make even half the hp nor half the torque; this was before advanced DSC, but still: the enthusiast who believed you could have something of a 4-passenger "ultimate driving machine" w/o buying into the whole M car ethos was satisfied.
This Performance Aerodynamic Kit should be aimed at maximizing performance, but instead much seems to be aimed at the ricer demographic. That's just sad IMO. It reeks of //Marketing.
