BMW 125i Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the BMW 125i here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
Audi RS Q3 or BMW 135i, which is more fun?

That's a rather subjective question that's almost impossible to answer. It also depends on what you call fun. Both would be fun to drive, but if I were to make the choice purely on the driving experience I would choose the BMW.

Punctured tyre can't be repaired

Some run-flat tyres are marked that they can't be repaired, but that's not necessarily correct we've been told. Run-flats can be repaired providing the sidewall hasn't been damaged by being driven too far after the tyre deflated. There are tyre dealers other than Bridgestone dealers who have the equipment to remove run-flats from the rims and repair the tyres. Bridgestone have an equivalent conventional tyre to your run-flat and these can be fitted to your car.

Aircon comparison between cars

Generally it was always felt that the air-conditioning of European cars wasn’t up to the task for Australia; that was because there wasn’t the demand for powerful A/C in Europe where the climate is generally milder. But when the European carmakers began to move on to the world market and export their cars to places like America where the demand for good A/C is very high they have improved the performance of the A/C systems in their cars. The cars you say have had good air are cars that are typically built for the US market, those you say don’t have good performance are not. A/C systems soak up quite a bit of engine power in driving the compressor and that has a greater impact on smaller engines than big ones, and again the cars you are critical of have smaller engines, so they will also probably run smaller compressors.

BMW 125i Interior

Given it's a warm hatch, it is no surprise that the BMW 125i's interior is sporty in its execution. As these images show, its cabin only has leather upholstery on its armrests, with Alcantara instead the preferred seat covering (unless optioned otherwise, of course). Various trim options are available, including gloss black and aluminium, the former of which is extensively used on the dashboard.

Shown above are interior details for the BMW 125i 2017.
