Is there large cost differences and running costs between the 118i and above due to emissions, engine capacity and taxes in your countries.

Taxes in Turkey are based on engine capasity. These are the taxes we're paying:
<1300 cc : 591 TL
1300-1600 cc : 945 TL
1600-1800 cc : 1.667 TL
1800 - 2000 cc : 2.626 TL
2000 - 2500 cc : 3.939 TL
2500 - 3000 cc : 5.491 TL
3000 - 4000 cc : 1.3147 TL
1$ = 2,3 TL , 1€ = 2,7 TL
By the way, the 1 series which are being sold in Turkey are: 116d, 116i and 118i. 3 series models are: 316i, 320i ED, 320d and 328i. You can't buy anything else.
The official price for 316i is 43.331 € and for 328i 64.833 € (due to taxes).
So that means, everything above 1,6 lt becomes too expensive.
Guess that answers also your question, why i can't choose a 125i or 135i
