I'm fairly sure that, as usual, most euro markets can spec these wheels on any 1er coupe, inc the 135i M Sport (as per press shots). However, BMW GB in its infinite wisdom have decided to only allow that style to be spec'd on non-M models (i.e 123d SE etc.). The M Sports (inc all 135is) for the UK can only have the double spoke M wheels (for an 18" wheel) from the factory. Quite annoying really - why do BMW GB think they need to do this and limit the very flexible factory options list? Perhaps their marketing people are under the impression they are "adding value" by doing this. Its especially annoying as the press car wheel above is IMO actually better looking than the M sport double spoker.
PS Mind, having said that the way BMW GB made all UK E92 M3s have Sat Nav as standard was a good move.
