Love my 135i with \"M\" kit. I have 72K miles with a downpipe, bigger intercooler, tune, etc. It came with replaced gaskets for valve cover and oil\nfilter (I bought it used.) I got rid of the run-flats, installed Sport Koni's, and stiffened the rear suspension. I have the auto (since I'm 75 and getting tired of shifting) but the torque is addictive.
