really no complain for me - it's based on euro 125M specs - the engine is tuned down version of 130/128 - only slightly off the 128 marks... bmw puts 0-60 at 6.4 (haven't tested it - still break-in) and the torque is still plentyful at low rpms. plus with m aero + m suspension + sport seats&steering wheel, looks and handling are great... the only thing i feel lacking is the 135 wheels.... 125's 17"ok - but nowhere near as muscular as as 135 OEM 18" (264?) or as sophisticated as my personal fav 18" (261). once i'm sure there's no production defects, will consider ECU remap to boost it to 130 territory (270hp/315NM)

But then my previous car is a hybrid, so take my joyful thrills :thumbup:with grain of salt

i'd still pick 135 anyday if i'm in US but it's not yet available here plus it's an overkill for a place with max speed limit of 90 kmh (~55mph?), some highways even with 70kmh, and yet you can circle the country in 40min... :iono:
