Firm steering and well managed brakes also increased the confidence level. The BMW’s engines is so tremendous as specifically the 3.0-litre 125i. It seems great and has immediate throttle reaction. The unique gearshift is another impressive feature too, even if the long-travel clutch takes some getting used to.
