Dear all,
I have already picked up my 125i yesterday. I will upload some photos later on.
So the (performance) spec on my car is roughing like this, can't list all:
- Sport Gearbox
- Adaptive Steering
- Sport suspension
- M Brake (it's HUGE compare to the normal one. Completely filled up all gaps/space inside the rim. I have an impression the disc is bigger than the normal 1's, I will compare with my 118d later on today)
I've find out a good way to stop the engine from upshifting automatically (confirmed by the dealer & user handbook).
The following is required:
1) You need a SPORT Gearbox, not normal gearbox
2) Using Sport+ mode
What you need to do is to either use the stick or Shift Paddles to change gear, you can stay in the high rev as long as you like when attacking corner. Automatic shift is totally disabled. Click-down is also disabled as well.
What does that mean???
- You can have full control of the 8 speed gearbox like a manual car without a clutch
- Effective engine braking
- Stay in any high red rev zone as long as you like
Hear the engine sound.
Cheers,
Piero
