“1 of 1. Built Once. Never Again.”

2013 BMW 135is Cabriolet – 1 of 1 as Built

A rare gem among modern BMWs, this 2013 BMW 135is Cabriolet is a singular creation—finished in Alpine White with a luxurious Taupe leather interior, paired to a 6-speed manual transmission, and representing a true one-of-one factory-built example. Crafted for just one model year, the 135is sits as the younger sibling to the legendary BMW 1M Coupe. While the 1M was celebrated for its raw motorsport character, the 135is channels that same DNA into a more refined yet equally thrilling package, with bespoke performance enhancements and a rare open-air driving experience.
