M235: 3505 lbs (both Auto and Manual)
135is: 3373 lbs (Manual), 3439 lbs (Auto)
So the Auto is 65lbs heavier, the manual is 132 lbs heavier.

According to international BMW site both M235i and 135i weight the same:

choose "BMW 2 Series Coupe M235i"
Unladen weight EU in kg: 1,530 kg

choose " BMW 1 Series Coupe 135i"
Unladen weight EU in kg: 1,530 kg
One caveat (there may be more I am not aware of): Compared to above EU spec cars USA cars have sunroof and electric seats as extra equipment which explains at least some of the weight increase.
