The 125i is a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Comfort (Dr Jekyll) Is a softer feel and a very small amount of turbo lag can be noticed if provoked from the start. You must remember that the 8 speed starts off in 2nd when you have comfort or eco selected.

Sport / Sport plus mode (Mr Hyde) 'preferred driving selection' will definately give you the answers you seek. This is where 125i m Sport shows it superiority over a Golf (as good as they are)

Try this; select 'Sport' mode, push the stick over into the manual side and use the paddles and give it full throttle.

If you can keep the revs in the late 2's up to full spin it is pure joy. Have fun

Then you can tell us if you like it.
