Question?

Is the 135i with sports package lower than a 135i without sports package?

They're about the same height. Both come standard with sport suspension so the Sport Package only add things like shadowline trim, M steering wheel, etc.

All US 135i have sport suspension standard. It's optional on the 128i.

yes, and when you specify the M-sport pack on other 1ers that do not have the sports suspension, it lowers them by 15mm. at least here in Australia it does.

So if i get the pro kit and it lowers my car 1.2 inches? or .2 inches because its already 1 inch lower?

Really confused.

Or will it lower it 1.2 inches from the point it is now?

Usually measurements are based on sport suspension-equipped cars so those springs would lower your car 1.2" from where it's sitting now. Feel free to ask us any questions you may have. :smile:
