Exclamation 135i getting 6 piston Calipers!

Just reading through the planning document for the 1 series..... The 135i is getting 6 pot front calipers.....here are some other details (stuff that I found interesting....)

(No, I can't post the document)....

Engine: 300 hp @ 5800 rpm, 300 foot pounds from 1400 - 5000 rpm
Performance: 0-100 kph in 5.3 seconds (Euro Spec)
Braking: 6 piston calipers upfront

And the other nugget...

Electronic Rear Diff Lock: Functions through rear brake management system and works only if DSC is completely disabled.....


Nav / iDrive available, 60/40 folding rear seats etc.....blah blah...looks like the 135i has some things the 335i doesn't......
