I am not convinced the 125i will have an easy victory on the new Golf. I can imagine it will have to be replaced with the 128i within a year or two.

BMW deliberately called it a 125i (160kw) to differentiate the power outputs between the 1 and 3 series. You have to consider that this same engine in the 328i currently produces 35 kws more. I am guessing that when the new golf gti comes out, BMW will probably give the 125i the higher kw output. It also has to be said that the M performance chip is also due out, so you could expect a M performance version with 255 kw soon. Happy days ahead
