Question How to know if my car is a 35i or 35is?

So I am buying a 2014 Z4 35is from my friend soon.

He told me it's the is but when I check in the BMW VIN Decoder it just says i not is in the model name

It does say however that the power is 250KW/340 BHP

so what are some indicators to know that it is definitely an is?

the VIN # is: J991070

I think I found my answer, it is in fact a 35is since it says the power is 250KW and according to this comparison here, that means it's an IS despite the model only showing "Model Z4 35I (EUR)" on the BMW VIN Decoder":
