BMW 125i 2016

The 2016 BMW 125i range of configurations is currently priced from $16,800. Our most recent review of the 2016 BMW 125i resulted in a score of 8 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: It’s hard to fault the 1 Series. Not only is it the most affordable BMW, that’s even better value for money following the revision in 2015, it’s a practical alternative to the 2 Series that loses nothing when it comes to the performance variants which are stunningly capable. We’d like to see the 1 Series made even better by the addition of more advanced safety technology.

This is what Laura Berry liked most about this particular version of the BMW 125i: Great straight-six turbo engine in M140i, Excellent handling and performance in 125i, Five-door hatch practicality
