Considering testing I'd say a mid to low 1:28 should be possible for pole ..
Something like a 1:28.365

No, we're going high 1:27's

I think they won’t reach the W11 record because of 1 sector, but I think low 1.27 can be expected

Bahrain this year is later than usual, which probably means higher track temps and therefore a slower track. I expect an improvement of "only" 0.5s.

Nah, last years was 29.1 .. it's not like they found 2 secs

I guess 1.27.8 is quite possible, the cars of 2025 will be insanely fast in S2 and S3, but there will be problems in S1, because there are many slow turns, the cars of 2018-2020 simply had a huge traction and, most importantly, they were easier, for example, W11 in my opinion showed 27.6 seconds on the first sector, which is unrealistic for cars of 2025

I think it will be low 1.28s. The cars started at 1.30.5 at Bahrain in 2022 and we only saw 1.5s gain in 2 years of development. Expecting 1 more second seems reasonable at best, so 1.28.1 is the best. It would be remarkable to hit high 1.27s maybe the Maccas will if their drivers can nail their laps.
