Drove a friends 120i lci msport

I currently own an A45amg. Reviews

Estoril blue needs to be seen in the flesh. What a great colour for that car
Msport interior really nice
Suprisingly supple ride then again jumping into thay anything from an A45 will feel supple
For 177hp it won't push you back into the seat but to me it offers very satisfying performance for a regular enthusiast. Certainly felt better than the 136hp b45 engine that comes in the 318i. Lci
Engine reveed very smoothly and willingly
Gear box changes almost imperceptible compared to my old e90 6speed zf which was clunky and very slow IMHO and this was in a 335i
All in all great little package for the person who wants some gusto but not willing to shell out extra for the 125i. Wonder what a tune would do to this n13 engine.

b38 has a long way to go.

If we could actually hear it. It is way too silent in our car. I would like more intake sound.
