Congrats, very nice ride! I'm contemplating an 116i M-Sport as well.. just waiting to see a decent picture of a 5-door in Mineral Grey to pull the trigger.
I'm really curious to see how the engine bay looks on that thing. The weight is about the same as a 4-cylinder 118i, so I'm hoping the weight is pushed back a bit for more driving fun.
Glad to hear the engine is smooth, that torque deficit can easily be fixed with some chiptuning. I already noticed that Ziptuning is promising 167 bhp and 305 Nm for this specific car!
