My mum was between a Golf and a BMW 1-series, guess what she picked

I know, you told us!

She picked the car with the propeller!

Shouldn't those pre-facelift 1series have a huge price drop? This engine is totally, just simply kick the old engine's ass! 15kW and yet more economical!

Wow, then I hope your dad chooses the 1er because then we will see a Wimmer BMW road test.

Amazing how they managed to squeeze 170bhp out of a 2.0 I4. Just amazing.

This engine still has some extra potential (for future models & facelifts), so 170hp from 2.0L HPI engine is only the beginning. This baby is able to spit out around 140kW (around 190HP).

I guess I4 BMWs aren't that bad after all, eh?

Really?? Oh man...so suppose I get the 120i now...please don't tell me that on September it'll put out 190hp?

I wonder if you can take it up to 190hp with some modifications...
