Picked up the 220 xdrive a few days ago for the wife, she loves it and it's surprising quick with a sporty feel to it, will be great for family days out
Cool enjoy!
Thx for the review, pretty useful in my case so i decided to get one for my wife. Thx again!.
New to this channel very good in depth review. Superior to the usual 15 minutes allocated by car review channels. Quite the polished finished article. I will give this BMW a look around and maybe a test drive if I like what I see in the flesh.
welcome!
It is a great review. AJ, you are a great presenter and you master the English language very well and use it in a pleasant way with proper expressions and vocabulary. It is an in depth review that will help many viewers in their decision making process. You convinced me from the first video seen to press the red button. Keep it up!
Thank you very much! =)
Brilliant review as also. I am definitely sensing an Irish influence in that accent. Great job✅
*indian
I like it even more with the dual exhaust and the little tweaks in the front bumper. For me it's a shame they didn't manage to fit three independent seats on the second row. Good option anyway, and great review as usual!
Thank you for this review.
Hey Cyril!
I like your re view. I have just bought one but the salesperson couldn't tell the details as good as you. thanks.
Thanks! And enjoy 😉
Yay! What up AJ!
I always liked this mvp
Super review....
Thank you for the detailed video
Bravo very impresive!
Best MPV I have driven. I had 7 Renault scenic's/grand scenic's but this BMW is soooooooo-nice, better steering, more responsive, more economical, more power & if you want it more speed. The Scenic/grand Scenic does have more space though. Both my wife & I feel safe. Finally it has a timing chain not a belt
Good review, my friend. Keep up the great work, guys. 👌
cheers !
Nice car, I just booked mine 2GT last month. Collecting my car in 2 days time. Can’t wait to get my hand on the wheel.
Do you recommend the tourer after using it for a year ?
Great review! I bought the 218d and I love to drive it. It has a good balance of performance and fuel economy.
cheers and enjoy! :)
I've had a 218d auto for 2 years now, was a good choice over a 3yr old Mitsubishi outlander as monthly payments are the same on pcp.
A great review. I've just taken delivery of my 220d Gran Tourer X drive Luxury line in Mineral White, it's absolutely fantastic, well worth the wait!
Cheers and enjoy!
Just got my 220 xd GT, how satisfied are you so far? I like mine quite well so far, especially the nice interior.
After test driving lots of SUV'S, I bought the 220i M Sport. Very comfy and surprisingly sporty. One happy driver. Good review thx
Enjoy!
Tim enjoy your car!i have a question, is the middle row comfy enough for 3 kids?
It is OK for 3 adults for a short journeys. Great for 3 kids on longer journeys. Gott a USBB port for keeping their phones and gadgets charged too..Major issue is ; rear visibility is very poor with this car.
Think I will swap for an X2.
(Shame as it blows most hot hatches into the weeds, 220i M Sport))
An excellent review of the 2 Series Gran Tourer, shame it does not have sliding rear doors like the Ford Grand C Max. Keep up the great reviews.
Feel free to share!
Great review :) just a FYI, the 2 series GT is slightly shorter than a 3 series Touring so it’s not that long.
For an MPV that interior is gorgeous
I hate bmw interiors there sooooo basic and boring
Thanks! Great review! I'm getting a 220D Xdrive luxury line UK! Most helpful!
👌
Good review and accurate.
My wife has the Active Tourer 220i. We’re really happy with the car. It’s spacious, the interior is very solid and well built. The B48 mated with the 7 speed auto Works beautifully. There is a lot of torque from low revs and the car just moves with little input. The 220i Active Tourer is as fast as a hot hatch too which surprises many. Nice job BMW.
thanks and enjoy =)
The 4 wheel drive 220d Xdrive is a pleasure to drive, just over 300miles on the clock now and loving it. really comfy leather seats, gorgeous interior and a decent amount of space for a young family of 6 ..was surprised how fast it was from a standing start, feels like zero turbo lag, you can pull out safely without worrying about getting upto speed, it's very nippy for what it is 0-60 in just over 7seconds is not bad for a 7 seater:)
Great car!!!
10:49 one part u missed abt that swivel wheel, you can also write on it. Haha
Picking up a 220d XDrive sport of these. Very nice review but should of mentioned the park assist.
If you pull the red tabs when seated in the rear 6/7th seats they fold forwards
Great and enjoying review of the BMW Gran Tourer. Thanks for sharing it. I drive an Active Tourer (F45) 220D 8 shift (M-sport). After several years of driving E91 and F31, this F45 (with adjustable suspension) does certainly not have the superb drivebility of the F31, especially in fast corners. But the higher seating position and usefull storing compartiments will not bring me back to the low seating BMW´s.
thanks for the feedback!
Beautiful car
Could you do a review on the BMW 2 series Active Tourer 2.0 TD xdrive?
Very good
the new BMW X1 has the same new features for 2018-2019. Dual exhaust for all engines (i think only if the car has xDrive?), the new gearshifter (best decision ever i think) and the engine type is now shown on the trunk, not on the sides. Except the headlights don't come with adaptive ones yet. i prefer the real angel eyes LED's more than those adaptive ones which are only half circles.
ohhh! No fake exhaust? Great review, team.
cheers !
Very helpful review. I bought a second-hand 218d Luxury model a few weeks ago in Japan. It was in excellent condition - a 2016 build that had only done 33,000 km. Diesel is much cheaper than petrol in Japan, so this will be a good way to get around that's not too expensive to run.
thanks =)
2 1/2 year ownership of a 216d lux auto, 45mpg average over 86,000 miles. Only downside is that with the 1.5d 3 pot engine you can't overtake unless you have a runway length of straight road visible. Has been a great car, very comfortable seats (lux leather), good sat nav system. Just eats the miles. Only thing I would change in buying another is I would go for the larger 218d
Chris is it comfortable for three kids in the middle row?thanx in advance
very nice producer
Active tourer 216 2018
Was so close to pulling the trigger on one but on a test drive the ridiculously massive a-pillar proved a deal breaker. The blind spot it creates is very unnerving.
Thank you for the review. Please may I know if android auto is available on any model of the grand tourer? Thank you.
very nice review, got the first generation, good car but the seats are hard and the electronic system that prevent colisions is not good. 4wd very helpful this winter in Switzerland !
Thanks for the feedback
Well you have done enough to make me go visit my local BMW car showroom to seriously consider this vehicle to buy
hehe =)
Great review, great in depth talk on this car. I'm concidering one of these....
Would you recommend the petrol or diesel models?
thanks! Depends on your annual milage and driving profile
I currently drive a diesel Mazda 5 ts2 2011 model, and average around 20k per year, but that is short runs on a regularly basis back n forth and not so much moterway, I only do that occasionally. I did have to get my injectors replaced but lucky enough the car was still under a 6 month warranty.
That's put me off diesel a bit....
Is the petrol as nippy as the diesel?
I find my 1.6 diesel much more responsive than my 2.0 petrol Kia Carens.
Surely, in the looks department, these handsome 2er MPVs are the antithesis to their sister car, the Mini Countryman. As AJ infers, this is a car which blends practicalities for a growing family with the qualities of a BMW at the attainable end of the market. The fact that it's not RWD is academic and I dare say that owners are really glad that BMW build a car specifically for them. Nice work, AJ and Jonas.
Hamish Dunham thanks for your feedback :) this time, and last time with the Touareg, it was AJ and Thomas B :)
Whoops! I guess us Autogefühlers are so used to your partnership with Jonas. Give Thomas B my regards; he captured the scenes brilliantly. I haven't seen the Touareg video yet but I'll certainly take a look soon.
Hamish Dunham i certainly will, thank you very much for your support :)
You're welcome - Thank you!
Antithesis is quite a strong word, considering that the interior of this car, and that of my loaded MINI Countryman S All4 are extremely similar (and definitely on-par, in terms of materials quality). They have an extremely fraternal look, that's for sure.
Really like this offering from BMW. ....would love to get me one.
sieht gut aus
I've driven the SMax (2011, Titanium with sports package) for a while and that one was really nice to drive but I guess, the new SMax models would be improved by now. And a few weeks ago I sat as a Codriver in that GranTourer with the 2.0l Turbodiesesel with 190 hp - I think those two can be compared pretty much with each other - bedides the Ford is not THAT luxurious inside as the BMW.
Great video, and great Job BMW!
Very nice car BMW Gran Tourer 🌺
The only two problems i have with my Active Tourer are the A pilar and the runflat tyres.
Like you said the A pilar blocks the view which is really dangerous in tight corners and the runflat tyres are not comfortable and noisy.
The shorter version holds much better than the Grand Tourer and is way more agile in town.
Rather than that i’m really happy with my Active Tourer 220 D Xdrive, that’s a real premium in the family car segment and it’s a very reliable car. After 3.5 years i still don’t have any problems and enjoys driving it…
Great video! Its true that bmw will discontinue this model? I just bought one almost new, do you recommend me to cancel it and see for another brand or continue with this purchase? we really like the car!
Thanks! Not sure if they do, but doesnt matter if u buy one now :)
You have hard plastic trim at bottom of door for harder wearing ,
It's a shame BMW doesn't sell this model in Canada. Neither Mercedes or BMW offer anything with 7 seats for a family here at a reasonable price. I would have bought one of these over the new Tiguan that sits on our driveway now. Maybe one day it will be available here.
Chad Pattyson North America isn't in demand of compact MPVs as they don't provide as much space as people carriers on offer there. My dad has one and it's quite cramped for a seven seater. Nevertheless it's a great car
Having owned the seven seater Diesel 150 BHP model for a year now. Fantastic. Except for the A pillar blind spot. You have to be aware of this. You have to become acrobatic at roundabouts check & double check for other vehicles in this damned blind spot. But I love it & I will not be changing it . My wife and I feel safe and comfortable even at maximum permitted speeds. ( sometimes above the maximum Ie: when overtaking which it does very very well. The extra space of a seven seater is used for TWO Mobility scooters. Driver and passenger are 85 years of age. with well over 1,000,000 miles of driving experience (& my wife does not drive). I love this car and will put up with the blind spot, it gives my neck muscles exercise.

Thanks for the feedback!
Any recommendation in Petrol engine s?
Fantastic and thorough review...i am between bmw gran tourer luxury line and peugeot 5008 gt line 1,6 petrol 180hp.i have a 5 member family.what is your recomendation??thanx in advance
Thanks 🙏 did u check out th-cam.com/video/lvXFpCsd6j4/w-d-xo.html
Autogefühl thanx for your prompt reply! I ve already seen your review regarding peugeot 5008. I have two same offers for these cars, peugeot 1600 cc petrol 180 hp gt line (full extra) and bmw 218i petrol 140 hp luxury line with lots of extras (among others navigation plus, auto striptronic 7 gears, M steering, panorama roof, harman kadron sound bars, led headlights, 3 rows of seats etc). As i said the offers are the same. I love bmw’s road behavior and its premium interior but i am concerned if it is comfortable enough for a 5 member family (especially for three kids on the middle row of seats). Peugeot is probably more comfortable. If i understand correctly the main difference between bmw active tourer and gran tourer is the third row of seats (is that correct?). What are your thoughts/suggestions?thanx again in advance.
Good review!.
Could the front pillars be a problem to drive in the city?.
You can't regulate the height of the seatbelt in the front seats. Could it be a problem if the car is driven by people with different size?
thanks! That might be. But I think you can live with it
YES, Worst thing about the car is the front pillars. you can lose entire vehicles in the blind spot on roundabouts. Its probably the only reason I wouldn't buy another. It is very dependent on seating position, my wife doesn't have the issue as she is shorter than me.
What about seat colour is not get dirty after sometime?
Is This model 2018 and thank you
How many speakers does it have? Are they any good?
Will the plugin hybrid be available with 7 seats?
its deffinetly not the Johnny Hansome but rather the Jimmy Stewart. Great car.
Do you have any informations about petrol consumption ?
engine 1.5 136 HP ?
Hey guys, could you please review the new Suzuki Swift? Please
Yes we ll do
Do you guys recommend the 218i ?? 2016
J'ai la même elle est superbe 👍
like the review,just a question how dose the car handle with 3 adults and 2 child on the road with petrol engine ??
Bmw never underpower their cars...
Most of the time it’s me and my 4 younger ones
But we have hubby in the car with us at the weekend
Car drives amazingly well
Hai, nice review, however one remark. You should drive on the right lane wenn it is free. You see that some cars overtake you on the right. Driving on the middle or left lane is one of the most irritating things to do
Well... he is in a BMW... hahaha
@@k88kee i drive also a BMW 340i xdrive. Thats means not that rules doesn’t apply for me.
@@tonv912 did you spec it with the latest BMW option to remove turn signals? 🤣
@@k88kee hoi Kee, no instead I chose the shiphorn and a flame trowers in the exhaustief pipe, was much cheaper. 😎😎
Is it economecal? How many km for 1 liter?
Is that HUD standard or is it an optional extra? I'm due to get a 220i Gran Tourer this month
All optional
Roy Biggin UK
have had the 220i petrol Gran Tourer for about 3 months now. Iam 81 years of age and have had quite a few cars in my life,
but this definately the best, and I inclue various Jags, Daimler. S-max, Peugeot, Citoen ( 7 seaters). I did not Buy BMW because
rear wheel drive in winter is a nightmare (my neighbour across the road had problems even getting out of her driveway.)
Thanks Roy for sharing. My 65 year old father in law is considering a 220i in M Sport trim. Any tips or advice you'd share?
@@k88kee BUY
@@yorroyoo hahaha, yes! We're picking it up on Monday. I'm tempted myself to get one now too 🤣
You can't deny that interior, the exterior isn't a winner for me though, BMW are being clever here though, this segment is getting less and less saturated thanks to competitors running off to saturate the SUV segment and Crossover Segment. A digital dash would have looked ultra cool or is that an option? It would be good if you mention when talking about features whether they are standard or option! As a 7 seater it's not really usable it would need to be as long as a VW Touran as an example.
Hi Will, the fact that the dashboard is not fully digital is not such a disadvantage because if you go for the higher version with the HUD, beside the fact that you can change the information displayed on the HUD, the dashboard has an integrated digital display below the traditional two, which are so nicely integrated that you don't realize is there until you start your car
Pity the seats are still rubbish for long distances. That was the problem with the pre facelift too
Grand Tourer s beautiful SUV
nina ciliz is a mpv not a suv
14:18 attention: BMW removed these switches in a November 2020 car
I was confused by „2019“ facelift. I guess this is the model sold from spring 2018 onwards in Germany 🇩🇪!?
Yeah
What color is that one? Thanks
finally the first beautiful BMW. And no moronic rear wheel drive. Maybe I will switch to BMW after all.
how interesting! i actually think the same. it's the first bmw that i like
Test drive one ; you will be pleasantly surprised!
It actually has a badge that says 'Luxury'? That tells you what corner of the market this is for , those who can't afford actual luxury. Tacky badge, but if you look at the car for what it is, it's not too ugly, but definitely a departure
Wow, that is the biggest front pillar that I have ever seen :-o I wonder what do you see when you want to turn left or right in the city? Also the new version should have even bigger front bmw kidneys, maybe all over the bonnet ;-)
5 min later in the movie and I got my answer ;-)
Hehe
just 1 week a 218d from 2016 , great car. Gazoil / diesel is the best, torque is what we need ;) Take the 5 seat, it's no 7 seater.
What about the gasoline engine, do you recommend it ?
@@waleedwilly5052 Sure ! I don't trust the 3 cylinders. But the 2000 cc with 150 hp is certainly sufficient. I drive in setting 'sports' with a heavy trailer, then the 8-speed automatic transmission switches later. And without I drive in comfort or eco. Consumption without trailer 5.6 L, with trailer 6.6 L.
my car is 5 y. 125 000 km. Now for 5 months mine. I have been able to find one problem, the sun screen, the sun canopy is out of the rail on one side, so on the inside that screen is hanging a bit convex from the ceiling. Everything else perfect.
15:44 a helping hand!
=)
It's magic.. ;-)
Car review videos with a guy describing shape of a car. Grand Tourer is beautiful though.
El volante sólo vibra porque el vehículo lleva el paquete driving assistant y no el driving assistant plus que sí mantiene el vehículo en el carril.
Where's the sliding door?
So just ordered the bmw gran tourer 1.8 m sport 2019 model so I'm switching from a seat leon 1.8 fr so obviously that seriously goes 153mph I got although it says 138mph so proved them wrong so can anyone tell me top speed and does it really have there sport feel? I got it for certain reasons just wondering if anyone has 1?
Kingy Kingkongdon if you get the 220d you should be able to go 141mph
When will you guys get the new qx50
We ll try!
W tym aucie jest motor 2.0 tdi 150 KM ???
Which color is this?
Bought 218d GT today!
Thanks for the review. How does the BMW Gran Tourer compare to Renault Espace, in regards to build quality and ride comfort? I'm looking for well equipped, practical and good looking car to put my family in (2, maybe 3 small kids & dog). Thanks!
Thanks! Feel free to compare our review, youtube search Autogefuehl renault espace
I've seen both of your videos and it's hard to compare when behind the monitor :)
So, on a scale of 1 to 10, BMW interior quality vs. Espace? Thanks.
The BMW surely makes a more solid impression. The Espace is way bigger though, so depends on if you need that length
thanks for the review. i'm looking forward to order a gran tourer, but still thinking, if 218d with 150ps or 220d with 190ps. are the 40ps difference noticeable? thanks for your feedback.
Cheers! That doesnt matter that much since it is the same engine/displacement, just a different software tune!
@@autogefuehl thanks for quick response. is it really the same engine? but it depends on 218 vs 220. what would you recommend? cheers ..
How stiff is the M-Sportfahrwerk compared to the stock one? I had the M-Suspension in an E61 and it was too hard especially with 18 inch wheels...
Too stiff. Dont pick it
Autogefühl damn it it’s too late. At least it are only 17“ wheels and without runflat it should be better.
Yes indeed that should make up for it
What's the fuel consumption for this car? In urban and combined drive?
220i - 38 MpG NEFZ and realistic WLTP 29 MpG
So 6.2 L/100 km NEFZ or realistic 8.1 L/100 km WLTP
And for the last 2 years I averaged 8 L/100km = 30 MpG
I passed my driving test in this exact car ♥
Congrats :)
Does anyone know the fuel economy for a 2WD 220i ? It claims to be 47mpg but I’m guessing it would be significantly lower 🤷♂️
I don't manage 47 with the 216d, I get 45mpg (Claimed 65) My mpg measured over 86k miles.
I have it for 2 years now and my overall average is 30 Mpg in Germany.
Just everyday drving but some long distance trips with average of +90 MpH.
Old NEFZ for 220i was 38 MpG but new WLTP consumption is claimed to be 29 MpG (much more realistic!!!)
Where is Thomas
We share reviews to show u even more, thanks for supporting the whole team!
I've had the exact model for 2 years now and 60k miles later still going well. Love the 8spd box.
Want to upgrade soon but undecided, I want a sporty 7 seat SUV at similar money like Tiguan Allspace R Line, Kodiaq Sportline or Pug 5008 GT or could get same car in M sport trim :/
thanks for the feedback!
seat is coming up soon with their big brother of the ateca, with 7 seats, they already teased it but haven t yet made a proper presentation
jh5kl I'm guessing it'll be like the Tiguan allspace but with few more hard plastics. I shall look forward to it as it should look tasty in FR trim
I am 188 cm tall and 107 kg. Do you recommend these seats with the side bolsters and all or the standard seats with no side bolsters and no thigh extension??? Please, tell me!
Thigh wise its good, but the shoulder support might be too narrow
Also seen the all new model? th-cam.com/video/8ZqcAQQ1rZY/w-d-xo.html
@@autogefuehl So the standard seats would be a better fit???
Thank you!
@@autogefuehl Not yet!
Gran Tourer 218d or VW Touran 2.0TDI and why? Simple question ;)
I have same problem can't decide. Which one you think you go for
@@pabinmagar3520 BMW from 2018 (facelift)
Which way did you go in the end?
My father in law is about to change his touran 1.6d and is looking at a 220i. As well as a massive power difference, I think the step up in interior quality will add greatly to the feel good factor.
@@k88kee still on-hold, decided to wait a bit longer
