BMW 125i Coupé
Although there is renewed each year, provided BMW engines are subject to constanstes improvements which aim to optimize fuel consumption and emissions. The engine 6-cylinder 125i was one of them. With 3 liters yields 218 hp, there is a big leap to the 306 the 135i, a car far more radical.
Soft suspension for his philosophy.
The 125i is more along the lines of the 120i, but with 6 cylinders, I say the line because its chassis is softer than you thought after trying the 135i.
It’s a car that walks, consumes relatively little if there is no hurry, but it is more sporty than the 120d, for example.
This commentary is by the suspension too soft for what’s under the right foot. We have a coupe, we have a rear engine and a 218 hp thanks to a quick turn, up to almost the 7,000 laps, and the 6-speed gearbox of pleasant touch, you are invited to come glad if driving curves, but when they miss a harder suspension.
That said, almost everything that is good remains to comment
Fun and German
The exclusivity of the rear-wheel drive, fully monitored by the traction control and stability, gives a personality to the small BMW coupe does not have it be a master of his rivals.
It is a very intrusive as we do not want to force the machine, but it undoubtedly best enjoyed with it disconnected. Power comes on gradually, as they sink the right foot and everything is controllable by minimally skilled hands.
Interestingly, we found a BMW whose relationship price / performance is average even more popular models. This has come that does not stretch much in equipment. With a minimum bid to save the relationship with the price, if it is true that there are gaps of equipment that are almost forced once you’ve spent the money it costs.
