As a base model? I'd suggest they go M140i then.
What they have looks clearly a Sport Line. It always had the knee pad too and it still does in LCI:
It's just some want more and we know
where to look then.
The same about rear air vents it "does not have". Of course it does: convenient
to hide a screwdriver in. It's just those vents are for refreshing your sweaty feet.
To get those for under your skirt it takes "Automatic air conditioning S534A" option (the advanced dual-zone one, the basic in the video is automatic too) a base model appears to miss badly.

A lot more than just to drive one in from
Mexico: it's not road legal in US. It has been discussed around (in the sticky threads at the top perhaps) and right here in a neighbour thread (moved from
BIMMERPOST Universal Forums) in particular:
Surely I am not the only one - M140i Hatchback. Notice that by US standards 118i has no engine at all: BMW offers only mid to high engines there. A base US BMW model is advanced around the world.
