Hi guys!

New on the Forum, I’m currently looking for a m135i since it seems to be very fun and potential car.

It would be an additional hobby car, and preferably manual. Now the problem is that there is two very nice looking options, but both are PWG.

I’m planning to have stage2/stage2+ incl. DP and FMIC. In this case is the PWG a deal breaker?

There is one manual 2015 model but it’s 4K more.

Each option has 90-130tkm in dash.

Additionally, each car has the “uglier” steering wheel, any info/forum posts about changing the nicer looking steering wheel?

For suspension and wheels I have a pretty good package searched already. Any other mods I should consider?

Thanks a million in advance for your help!

No idea what PWG and EWG - never heard UK models described in this way.

PWG is Pneumatic Wastegate and EWG is with electric one.

Electric is in some situations much more reliable AFAIK, but there are also some differences in practice how they function/response especially when pushing more power.

That’s all I know for now.

Sure (whatever you mean by "uglier" and "nicer looking" - I like mine ):

And there were more, I recall.
