Guessing your car is pretty new. It will get better. I'm on 7.5k miles now and it's a different animal.

In saying all that. 1st gear is pretty shit due to the reasons above. It's a bit better in sport but still pretty nasty. To be honest, first gear is only really needed if you want to hit the factory 0-60. Even then it is just to gwt you moving the first couple of meters. Unlike any other diesel I've driven the 125d can easily pull away in second.
