Just do European Delivery, the Euro Delivery base price is a lot less. Tack on some profit for the dealer and there you go.
This is the Euro Delivery pricing for the 335i:

By the time you're done paying for the trip you're not saving any money. But you do get a free vacation out of it... Also, ED probably won't be available for the 135 for a while.

The lack of the LSD doesn't bother me too much because it does have an electronically controlled diff, and if you don't like that, you can probably drop the late M3 diff in there for not too much money.
My plan was to buy a new car next year around spring and this was the top candidate. I wanted to stay under 40k too so I could keep my payment under $500 a month. It's just not realistic now. I'd want it optioned up to about 40k as well. For that money, I could buy a decently equipped 335i.

There seem to be conflicting reports. The dealership I asked said it wouldn't be available upon release and they implied it would be some months before it was available and I know of a few others that had to same response from other dealers. Then again there seem to be a bunch of people claiming it'll be available right away...

How about this, before the release of the car, AC Schnitzer already has it running at 360 horsepower and a sub 5 second 0-60 time.

Sadly, the 135i has a 'peg leg' versus a limited-slip diff. Theoretically, one could swap out the limited-slip from the 335i, but it would be expensive.
The other downside of the 135i is that is is too heavy (<200# lighter than a 335i).

LSD will be available later as an add on, BMW confirmed it for the 1 series.
As exciting as this car sounds, i think im going to spring for the 335 coupe. More room and more standard features does it for me.
