Go and make those calls man! There is absolutely nothing to lose!  |
I don't know if the 125i has the disa from the factory. The tuners I've talked to stated they had done tunes on disa swaps from the factory. The BMW site says the 125i has the same engine as the 130i, but it's de-tuned to 215hp. If that's the case it's a de-tuned, disa swapped 128i and I should make the same or more power than a 130i. The tuner I was looking into has tuned a 130i to 281hp at the flywheel ( he doesn't have the dyno) so it's speculation to me. So theoretically my disa swapped 128i should make alittle less power than a tuned 130i due to the restrictive manifolds.m
