That 125d sounded really sweet. The 25d engine is only available in the X1 here and that is really fast. So I can't imagine how quick the little 1 series felt, especially considering its weight.

It also sounds like you have a lot of fun in your 116d. Turbodiesel cars usually always feel faster in the daily grind due to the instantaneous torque. The pull from them is also quite impressive and it is really addictive. No wonder you drive like a maniac!

BMW brakes are usually paired well with the cars and I'm surprised that they felt inadequate. But the 125d is pretty quick, so it's somewhat understandable.

The 120d should be more than enough, but the 125d has so much more torque, that it's hard to resist.

I was surprised to find out that the 125d does indeed have two separate turbos, unlike the one twinscroll turbo in the 120d. I thought that you dealer was lying to you or something, but it is true.
