The four-cylinder, turbo-petrol 125i ($49,990) features LED headlights, the iDrive6 multimedia system, digital radio, sat nav with live traffic, climate control air, a reversing camera, and rain-sensing wipers.
The standard 'M Sport' package adds suspension tuning, 18-inch alloys, anti-dazzle side mirrors, bigger brakes, high-gloss 'Shadow Line' exterior trim, an 8.8-inch touchscreen multimedia system, cloth/Alcantara upholstery, 'M' leather steering wheel and an anthracite roofliner.
