Thanks for watching! It probably will have softer suspension given that it will be a heavier variant of the model, although it’s hard to tell if it will really be noticeable.
Great review, Andrei! Any advice on choosing between the 218d and 220i? The 220i petrol is cheaper and faster to 100kmh, but the diesel boasts 4.5L of consumption in relation to 5.5L of the 220i. What would you recommend?
Thank you for watching! It depends on what you plan to do with it. If you also plan to use this as a vehicle for longer road trips, then go for the diesel. The 220i is a three-cylinder 1.5-liter, while the 218d is a 2-liter four-cylinder, so you get a bigger and more dependable engine in the long run with better in-gear performance than the 220i.
mister do I understand that you prefer the 220i over the 223i ? how about the noise of the engine ? which one is the most quiet ? thx for your great video ?
It’s actually the other way around. i prefer the 223i with the 2 liter engine ovet the three-cylinder 220i. The 223i should be quieter and more refined. Thank you for watching!
I achieved around 8.2 l/100km mostly driving in town in my spirited style. I guess you could see it drop to under 8 l/100km if you drive it sensibly. BMW says you should be able to achieve around 5.6 l/100km, but that's only realistic in extra-urban driving, even though this is the official figure for the combined cycle...
Thanks, I just order that car with that engine, it should arrive by December according with the dealer. In the car status can you see the status of the mild hybrid system, like the battery charge?
I will never understand people driving cars with high seating position like Vans and SUVs and then complaining about body roll(??). Ever heard of physics before?
Anyone have the plug in version? Already out in Europe i believe..does it have a heat pump and what MPG are you getting when battery is flat..sadly this critical info not on BMW website.
I think it's unlikely that any BMW PHEV would feature an LFP pack, at least I've not read anything about it. What made you ask? Have you seen speculation about this somewhere?
@@OneTireFire just curious as I would be charging very frequently. Just had reply from BMW ..their technical department does not know as they said BMW do not make the batteries but just they come with 8 year warranty
@@OneTireFire The feeling of the brake pedal? Also is the auto stop smooth? I heard the option to turn it off is removed now? Unless it is on sport mode. But is it seamless and instant when you press accelerator?
@@OneTireFire The brake pedal has a lot of travel before it ‘bites’ - you will get used to this. I’ve ordered the 220 for my daily car but a long waiting list in the UK.
really nice review!!! thx
Thank you very much for watching!
👍Liked 7. Cute Hatchback 🚖car with amazing features. Nice sharing. Stay connected🤝. New friend.

Great review, hoping the plugin 225/230 have same softer suspension.
Thanks for watching!

@@OneTireFire Thanks for feedback. Highly impressive BMW model.

What is the color name of this car? Thanks in advance.
It’s called Sparkling Copper Grey.
In terms of color, there are at least three different kinds of grays available in the configuration, which one is this? Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
the color is called Sparkling Copper Grey.
Wow
Da, are grila foarte mare :D
Hello, very nice review. What is the fuel consumption that you make with that engine?
I achieved around 8.2 l/100km mostly driving in town in my spirited style. I guess you could see it drop to under 8 l/100km if you drive it sensibly.

Storm bay grey?
No, the color is called Sparkling Copper Grey.

Do you mean me? I was complaining?
@@OneTireFire Yes of course
Anyone have the plug in version? Already out in Europe i believe..does it have a heat pump and what MPG are you getting when battery is flat..sadly this critical info not on BMW website.
I don’t think those details are officially revealed yet. I checked too before editing the review but found almost nothing.
@@OneTireFire Cool. Thanks for the upload. Enjoyed the review.
Which color is this?
It’s called Sparkling Copper Grey.
Do we know if the plugin models use LFP or NCM batteries at this stage?
I think they are conventional lithium-ion, are they not?
@@OneTireFire Dealer does not know and BMW direct are still to get back to me so no idea.

Any issues withcthe brake pedals?

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .
Mulțumesc 🙏
Hideous looking lump.
BMW continue to design the most ugly cars.
It looks better in person I think and, to be fair, the shape is the result of trying to make a roomy interior (which this has)...
