2015 BMW 125i Review

Is 'one' the new 'three'? Curt drives the 2015 BMW 125i to see if it is worthy of the 'ultimate driving machine' moniker. A strange thing happened in the process of deciding a verdict on the new 2015 BMW 125i: I discovered its inner 3 Series. Not the contemporary mid-sized family. Nor, while we’re at it, any properly M car. I mean the older stuff, such as the ’90s-generation E36, relatively straightforward, well-resolved, rear-driven cars for the everyman with a kind of soul that underpinned BMW’s ‘ultimate driving machine’ credo. It’s more than just that today’s ‘one’ is roughly the same size and weight as these older ‘threes’. It’s that if you want a driving experience as faithful to the halcyon day-3 Series as possible within today’s BMW fleet, the 1 Series hatch – or, of course, its mechanical 2 Series coupe twin – is your guy. Moreover, with the next-generation 1 Series set to follow the rest of cardom down the front-wheel-driven rabbit hole into the safety of motoring gentrification, this 2015 LCI update may well be the last opportunity to indulge in a small car from Munich with north-south engine placement, wider rear tyres and a characteristically rear-driven soul. The whole 1 Series range benefits from sharper pricing, improved standard equipment levels and the more palatable, Aussie-designed exterior face-lift. Of course, not all ‘ones’ are created equal, and of the five-variant-strong facelifted 1 Series LCI generation it’s the mid-spec 125i that strikes the ‘classic’ 3 Series touch points most faithfully. Despite its fairly innocuous position in BMW’s model hierarchy, the 125i brims with The Right Stuff and deserves a big blip on car-loving romanticists’ radar, though it’s the kind of ‘stuff’ not readily apparent by specification list alone. From the kick-off, the 125i lands at $48,900 before on-roads and options. It’s not only $2100 more affordable than the old-look, but loads in a host of formerly optional M Sport equipment including M Sport Package suite (lowered and retuned suspension, ‘M light’ 18-inch wheels, sports seats and steering wheel, styling accoutrements) and M Sport brakes, some $4000 of extra value. image source : https://www.caradvice.com.au article source : https://www.caradvice.com.au/369189/2...
