Question. I've never driven 125d, would you say it was stable under hard acceleration and high speed. I would like one of these cars but I know they are at tail happy being rear wheel drive. I have family so I want to know if its safe.
It's a great car, always torque and some great handling on twisty roads and good fuel consumption. Maybe a bit small for a family car. I've had mine for over 4 years now.
@@tiagocarvalho983 petrol engine sounds way better. But at high speed noise insulation is missing in this car. Other cars like Audi A3 or Golf 7 are much better concering noise insulation, but FWD…
Thanks for the interesting question! I think that the road noise isn't too much at all, for that price range. For a four cylinder Diesel engine it had a very beefy sound! But if your finances would allow you, i'd rather go for the 3.0 l gasoline engines. We´ll be interested about your buying decision and your first impressions, so don´t forget to let us know :)
Yes it's stock :) Top speed can vary depending on multiple factors, such as wind, temperature and so on. So the outcome for the same model can be different.
Hey, erstmal tolles Video wie immer :) Ich persönlich finde, dass der Motor fast etwas schwach wirkt für die Leistung. So ab 180 km/h würde ich einen besseren Durchzug (Beschleunigungswerte) für einen 224 PS starken BiTurbo erwarten. Hattest du auch so das Empfinden?
Hallo, danke für deine Frage. Tatsächlich lässt die Beschleunigung ab ca. 180 km/h stark nach. Abgesehen von der Leistung, sprechen wir hier von einem relativ kleinen Dieselmotor von dem viel erwartet wird bei der Geschwindigkeit. Man kann davon ausgehen dass die 224 ps bei der lang dauernde Beschleunigung nicht mehr vorhanden sein wird, um diverse Bauteile im antrieb zu schützen. Bei grössere Motoren mit gleicher Leistung wäre die Vermutung einer besseren Durchzug zu haben.
Im Vergleich zu meinem geht der im Video ab 180 ein bisschen mau, komisch. Meiner zieht bis 210 km/h gut durch ohne meinerseits irgendwas vermissen zu müssen, wird aber dann ab 220 langsam zäh, je nach leichten Steigungen, die man manchmal nicht bemerkt. War hier wohl vielleicht auch der Fall. Bei Beschleunigungen zwischen 140 und 190 zieht er aber ordentlich durch, das spürt man regelrecht im Sitz, das ist kein Vergleich zu schwächeren Modellen.
Nice car, but the engine still sounds like a tractor at low speed. The 6 cylinder diesels are not like that, it is a shame they didn't fit them to the 1 series.
If the car crashes at those speeds as they are doing it on this channel, there would have been more to worry about than a life insurance. 😉 We take as little risk as possible for us to be able to make these videos. The channel is about the cars and not about the risks.
7.5L/100km even when you’re driving like this is pretty damn good
Mine has even less consumption. Its just the magic of Diesels. There are diesel BMWs with 340 hp that consume about the same
@@kxvxn01I know bmw makes incredible Diesel engines
@@wolfqlf2287 yeah, they are kind of the best brand for Diesels in my opinion. Overall they build some of the best engines
Best looking 125d series Bmw made ! It was an all in for Bimmer!
Sauber gefahren 👍 Und niemanden beträngt👍
Das freut uns sehr zu lesen, danke!

Almost 260 dayummm
What is it like comparing to the 120d ?
Do you really feel a big difference in terms of power?
We've never tested a 120d before. There will be a very pretty 420d G22 video in the next few weeks!
No, it's not big difference, but you feel that 125d is faster car.
125 feels like a petrol N/A (power everywhere)
120 feels like a turbodiesel (limited rpm range with peak power)

It is quite stable, but not like an AWD as xdrive from BMW.
There is no 125d with xdrive, only 120d. But 120d is very fast also, you will be satisfied with it.
It's a great car, always torque and some great handling on twisty roads and good fuel consumption. Maybe a bit small for a family car.
I've had mine for over 4 years now.
What mpg do you get without being heavy footed cheers
I’m getting about 35 average but can get 57 on a long moterway run 👍
I am thinking buy on. What you think about the road noise and noise of the motor
Engine is impressive! Car is way too loud! Golf 7 is better concering wind noise at high speeds.
@@MrMojonothank you for your reply yes that i was thinking maybe i am gona buy the 125i is less like a tractor.

@@TopSpeedCars Yes 3.0 litre petrol like M140i would be my choise but now i can not go forward i have buy a house. :)
Stock? I have a 125d 2019 and the maximum speed I have detected is 245km/h for the moment
Yes it's stock :)
Top speed can vary depending on multiple factors, such as wind, temperature and so on. So the outcome for the same model can be different.
Fully stock? Bmw state 149mph max but you hit 157.5mph . Mine is also mapped so maybe 165?😅
I guess it was slightly downhill
Which one is better the 125i or 125d?
We've never tested a 125i, so it's hard to say which one is the best to drive.
125i is lighter in front end, but fuel consumption is obviously much worse, especially on highway.
125d tiene más par...y mejor recuperación.

Then buy the 140i
But a 140i isn't a 6 cylinder diesel.
@@simonh870 i say that?
this has a 2.0 inline 4 diesel, not a 6 cyl.
@@TheAlternativeDrivingChannel I know :) It is a shame, as BMW 6 cylinder diesels are brilliant, where as the 4 cylinder ones are not.
i think this one has something wrong with it?

Bmw 120d 177cv stock is much much faster...
in what way and how?
