BMW Australia has officially announced the 2012 BMW 125i is headed for Australia later in March, while the new 1 Series M Sport is now available almost across the range.
Using the new N20 2.0-litre TwinPower turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the 2012 BMW 125i enters the segment as the most powerful new 1 Series hatch. It produces 160kW of power and 310Nm of torque, and can do the 0-100km/h dash in 6.4 seconds.
The new variant comes with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, and comes with an average fuel consumption rating of 6.6L/100km. It also gets 17-inch alloy wheels, and a sports steering wheel, as well as all the luxuries you’d expected in a flagship 1 Series.
In terms of the new 1 Series M Sport pack, it’s available across the range, except on the entry 116i. It’s available on 118i, 118d, and the new 125i. It brings 18-inch M alloy wheels, sports M suspension, and a discreet M bodykit.
Inside revisions include M sports seats and steering wheel, dakota leather trim, and a Sport+ driver setting selectable in the car.
Further options include an M Sport braking package and an Adaptive M Sport suspension system.
