BMW 120i is a must buy for those looking for speed on road. The vehicle is amazing no matter from what side you look at it. It is surely an eye catcher, providing the onlooker something different to look at as a BMW.
The conventional styling is there from the front and moving towards the back is where the path is diverted. It is strictly a driver’s car or for those who are not concerned with carrying taller passengers around in the back.
BMW 120i is the sporty model range which is specially styled, engineered and furnished inside for this purpose. The earlier versions were uncomfortable lacking the feel of the class. But now the case is improved giving it a smooth ride and a comfortable interior.
The pick up of the car from abrupt slow speeds and then accelerating is amazing, which means engine power is great for this small miracle. Apart from lesser rear passenger legroom, this one can be described as a perfect small hatch meant for providing a taste of enjoyable drive for a small family.
There is the 2.0-litre engine present for aiding the speed and pull of BMW 120i. It works well for the hatch and from the very start gets a smooth push to reach the real action center points which is 4000rpm.
Significant speed increase can be felt when it is above this level and you really start to feel what this vehicle is ultimately all about. The suspension is rather firm but it can get a little better to adjust the settings and selecting the driving mode. As a sport version this firmness can never be totally ignored and if you want to buy this one, this little compromise has to take place.
The 120i has never shown a flaw in this respect, depicting itself as a loyal road partner. You will not only get speed but there is a good body control as if the wheels are digging in the path making serious gravity holds keeping the car compact even in the sharpest of turns.
There is no body roll as it can be present in smaller cars due to less weight. Overtaking is not a problem due to its effortless engine, making it as if the car is just flying away in the air with ease.
The engine over here does not work alone and gets its help from other levers and their perfections. The eight-speed automatic shifts were as if flawless making the driver forgets about any gear change at all. The model is remarkably quiet on road except showing off its sporty noise but that too is like soft whispers.
