Take that for whatever it's worth.
don't know about that.....i think its supposed to be a little bit better than the "is" models....i would try test drive an m135i and see if its fun enough.....
I have no doubt it's a great car (all the reviews seem to indicate this), but is that the accepted line of thought? The "M135" is supposed to be a step up from the "135is"?

I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm legitimately asking. I just assumed--with no more "is" models in sight--that the "M135" was the new terminology for the old "135is" models.
