BMW 1-Series Convertible (2008 - 2013) 125i Sport Plus Edition 2d Step Auto Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
This is about as classic BMW as it gets in a modern and useable package. The engine is superb, it's the N52B30 for anyone who is interested, the final naturally aspirated 6 cylinder produced by BMW. Sounds great, power delivery is silky smooth and it has plenty of power for British roads and if you want a bit more can easily be remapped to 260bhp without compromising its excellent reliability as it is detuned from the factory. Achieved 28 mpg from majority city driving but will easily return 35-40 on long journeys. Looks stunning although this is the Sport Plus Edition in carbon black metallic and has the xenon headlights and led tail lights which offer a great visual boost. Would have preferred a manual but the auto complements the engine very well and is great for cruising.
How reliable do you find the car?
Squeeky wipers, fitted new ones without hassle. Apparently wipers are meant to be changed every 6-12 months on any car so I assume this was still on its first set. Bit of a rattle from the A pillar which I still haven't got around to investigating but its very subtle and only noticeable on bumpy roads.
