I was looking for the references in REALOEM and the intake manifold and the entire engine ones are exactly the same in both models
Best regards.

3rd stage is them asking you to do exhaust, prob not worth it.

if 125i truly has same size pipe from airbox to intake manifold then all is well.

But intakes in our cars add good value as permanent charcoal filter is restrictive
