Not that I regret my choice for the 125i, but I think BMW would definitely make a big mistake if it doesn't come up with extra M Performance parts to at least match what VW is offering. The M Performance chip is going to be offered soon, so that's going to be covered. But there is still no sign of an M Performance differential for the 125i and the M135i, I am certain that there would be a big market for an upgrade like this. The current 'DSC off'-mode is ok, but it certainly cannot match a real differential.

what are your thoughts?

looks like a winner to me. if you dont mind the badge then youd have a hard time looking past it for a 125i

in regards to the diff option, dont all the bmws come with an 'e-diff' as standard? I know its not a mechanical one but it electronically slows the inner wheel around a corner. is this what the golf has or does it actually have a full mechanical one?
