I have a 125i M Sport Coupe auto. It's great to drive and that body shape (a bit marmite maybe?) is really good looking. That rear 1/4 view with its flared arches is, in my opinion, one of the best around.
If you mean in north america, We will soon. The 3 liter turbo diesel will be available in the 3,5, x5 and maybe the x3 soon. But I may be a while before we get the smaller diesels which is a shame. Also I don't think a all wheel drive 135ix is avaliable yet but there is a 335ix.
The 135 is actually at base is about 6 to 7 grand cheaper then the wrx sti and Evo 10. Ok is does not have all wheel drive, but it is just as fast and does not scream street race like the 2 others. I wish they would offer the 123d here.
this engine is a bi turbo it uses 2 small turbos, each turbo feed only 3 cylindes, so it has a a turbo for each half of the engine. There result is no turbo lag and it also make 300 pounds feet of torque form 1300 to 5000 rpm about. Also a in line six is the smoothest most balanced engine you can biuld. Plus the Subaru engine is a 2.5 Liter turbo so it not much of a jump in displacement about 500 cc. The bmw engine is smoother and more flexable then the subaru.
300 hp on a turbo 6? What's the extra 2 cylinders doing there, anchoring the car down? Well done BMW. Subaru makes 300 hp on a turbo 4. Oh yea, BMW "knows how to make engines." BMW FTL
just bought the brand new BMW 118d es Coupe in white from Arden Bmw in Maidstone, £26,000 car :) and I love it. Thank you Arden

@daizmiester WTF you mean. I've driven 2. One was a Manual 92 4 door 318 and the other was a manual 03 330 coupe.
Just got a 120d
i'll buy it, when i can!
Nice car~!
I want one of those :(
You focused on to horsepower too much...basically you said if you cant afford the most powerful version then buy the second most powerful.
this is some time ago
N47 engines on 1 series are absolutely bag of nails! Timing chain common problem
i second that
@DaveMoneyquantrilly that's because you've never driven one
Regarded as an estate agents car by many though, Beemer much better looking.
pfff 120d msport with tune, 236hp and 450nm :)
They have too much problems with the engine.

It's called doing it better dude, 4 can't compare to 6 in terms of smoothness
Haha! you Brits complain about stiff prices when you get a 135i for 30 000 pounds!!!? Sick!
is this guy gonna talk about anything but fuel economy?
@mrcoder, yes BMW is crap.
