You also have to ask yourself 'Why did I buy a 125i'
Was it to get fantastic fuel ecconomy, or was it to have a machine that provides a lot of fun from its 160kw and its massive amount of thrust.

Drive it like you really want to drive it for a couple of thousand kms, then see if your still feel the need for the supper low ecconomy. If you still like the drive and the looks, but have to have it return 4 to 5lts per 100km trade it in on a 116d
I am sorry if this sounds harsh.
No man i agree with you fully Im really enjoying the drive and i enjoy opening it up on the roads and i love the looks, im saying that when the car states that the fuel economy should be good and its not then i worry that theres something wrong even when i drive in eco mode, money is no issue for me as i wouldn't have bought a BMW in the first place, petrol isnt a issue either. Im saying that it should live up to the economy that it said it had! What im saying is that why am I getting 11l/100km in eco mode and with a light foot.. does that mean if i drive the way I want to drive in sport it mean that ill be averaging 15/16l / 100km?
