I'm happy with everything apart from the fuel consumption. I only managed to get 9.5 L/100KM when BMW told me I could get 7. I would say more than half of my mileage is from highway as well.

I found that my 125i's fuel consumption started to improved at around the 5000k mark.
If you want to get the lowest FC, drive in 'eco' mode with soft throttle pressure, however, you will think to yourself "why did I go for the 125i" and then you switch to Sport and move the lever to the manual side and use the paddles.

I settle for around 8 to 11 L/100 in the city depending on mood
I don't use 'eco' very much.
I like the responsiveness you get in 'Sport' and when highway cruising I paddle up to 7 & 8 (gives around 6.5 L/100)
