125d or 140i?

Now that like us all I have a lot more time on my hands I’ve been thinking about changing the car and have two in mind a 125d or a 140i. Now I know the 140 is a very different beast to the 125 but I do about 3000 miles a month so running costs have to be a factor.
By my rough calculations the 140 will cost me about €230 more in fuel per month but I know the driving experience would be far better.
My question is, is the 125d any fun? In my mind a 125d with a good remap would be a good compromise but I’m not sure.
I’ve had some fast and fun cars before and am now driving a 730d which is just lovely but a bit dull, I want something more fun again.
Any opinion on either would be greatly appreciated.
