The 120d engine has bags full of grunt, I am still getting used to the auto gear box, say you want to overtake, in a manual you then go through the process of changing gear which takes a period of time. Well the auto box is the same just you haven't got to move the gear lever. It's that seemly delay time, which because your not moving anything draws attention to itself. But when it's done your off like a rocket. The kind of driving I have done in the week I have had it hasn't given lots of opportunity to push it yet but from what I have felt so far it will make me smile when I can. What car have you left behind to move to your 1 series?

Hello everyone!

Quite funny fact- while googling for information about some features of my '12 plate 120d I found this forum thread. Looks like I'm the new owner of exactly the same car

Yes, those are LEDs, they come as standard on cars with Xenon headlights.

I thought xenons were an option or is it an M Sport?

My first experience of an F20 was a 120d, it was enough to convince me that an M135i was the correct choice. Two years later, we still love it!

Xenon is an option even on M-Sport cars, and it does not look like M-Sport.
And if you have Xenon, the rear lights are only partly LED.

You misread me- xenons aren't standard equipment, but when you ordered xenons, rear LEDs came automatically with them- that's why I told LEDs are standard with xenons, but not with the car.

Exactly, just one part is LED, but BMW still call them LED rear lights...

How many miles does the car has now?
