why are you not talking about the 320i l6 2.2l models? I'm planning on buying one soon and I can't find any buying guides anywhere. It seems like the model was forgotten by everybody. I'm getting it for 4 000$ CND (The seller is a friend of mine, but still, I would like to know what's up)...Your thoughts please :) Thank you
Importante advice for M47/M57 owners: - Remove swirl flaps as soon as possible or risk total engine failure (N47/N57 owners should check its condition) - Enable engine temperature (search on YT for hidden code) and see if you engine temperature reaches 90ºc when driving normal, theres a high chance 1 or both your thermostats are broken and your engine runs cold every time (it increases engine wear and higher fuel consumption)
My mother has had a 120d since 2006, it has done 190.000km. It’s definitely the most reliable car I’ve ever come across, with the exception of the steering lock but that was fixed by BMW. One last thing, the seats are very uncomfortable.
Great summary. I love my n52 - 128i cabrio and it has been very reliable over 200 km. Main items to date have been the water pump, thermostat, Vanos solenoids, plugs/coils, oil filter gasket and of course the odd BMW oil leak.
Old video, but still damn useful. Just bought a 2007 E87 120i (first of the LCI that year), 6 speed auto. Bought with 20100 kms (12489 miles). Got it for a song, and so far so good. Smooth cold start, nicely spec'd, and non-turbo (I'm quite happy with that, not a fan of turbos in general).
Thank you gor the information. Finally somebody willing to talk about the heart of the cars (engines). Just great content, thank you. I now know what to ask about and look for when I might buy one!
glad i have seen this comment !! exactly the reason i am looking at these. i need a van but i need 4 seats and dont want both at the same time. is the space really good with the seats folded ?
When I was doing the research for BMW carrying space I did a video comparing the 1 series and 3 series wagon and sedan. It is here. th-cam.com/video/50Gj6sJSoRw/w-d-xo.html Yes it has great space, I am totally happy with the space but It tops out at about 200kg. But so awesome to be driving a little BMW 1 series its my little race car, very fun. I have a series of videos on the 1 series here th-cam.com/video/Ss9GDqb3pDw/w-d-xo.html
Bmw e87 118d 2006. Great car even after 250k km. But after 200k had to recondition rear differential, rebuild rear suspension renew front suspension arms. About100k had to recondition abs dc unit. The dual mass clutch and flywheel are still okay but can go as early as 80k depending on driving conditions. Love it even after 12 years
The 135i convertible was my most loved car. The only issue I had was the water pump that was scary as the car goes into limp mode unexpectedly, And one of the tail lights LED stopped working. The ride level was rough but only because mine had the factory run flat tyres, which you can just swap over to 4 normal tyres and the ride would probably be quite smooth. I'd prefer to go back to it than the c63 I have now.
Yh, keep your car maintained and it will look after you. Take them run flat tyres off and go for all year round tyres and make sure to buy new tyres only, because you don’t know where part worn tyres have been. Make sure to check any car you buy with a fine tooth, and take a trusted mechanic with you when buying a car to double check, so you won’t getting any nasty surprises. Hope this helps! 👍
Perfect… my daughter wants an automatic so your recommendations point to pre 2007 diesel…. Great advice and details… when we get it home we will get diff, engine and auto box fluids changed.
with high mileage the E8x series really get expensive to maintain (180k km +). Failing rear axle transmission pinion bearings, driveshaft U-Joints failing, rear axle carrier rust through, two mass-flywheel clicking, crankshaft Vibration damper failing, the list goes on....
Differentials on these 1-series in general quite often start whining and hissing between 100000 and 150000 km's. Very well-overhauled diffs are readily available, since this is a common defect. They can be had reasonably affordably. I've had mine replaced by an overhauled one, and it made the car dead-quiet again - both inside and out, because you can really hear a car with a worn differential approaching...! Drop me a reply for the name of the Dutch specialists who perform these overhauls. They send them abroad, too. That way, I only advertise for them if needed. ;-)
You make good description. The BMW 120 d is not good for driving on snow.I write this because from my experience. We have many snow days, at the place I do live. I used winter tires. When I need to repair some things on my car, all the time is so costly- and all the time I do wait long time.
Only the N54 had injection and carbon buildup issues for the turbo engines. US there were only 2 models & 2 engine choices Face-lift occurred again in 2011 - 2012 with lights being changes, Infotainment system refresh, new DCT transmitting option for Turbo model 2013 was the year of 135IS models which used the old N54 2011 1M used the N54 beefy version and was manual only but only 745 US models produced
I see a lot of comments about different engines, i am looking to get a 123d coupe, i believe that 200 bhp in a car that is not that heavy will pull really good. Can people that own one or owned one in the past give me some tips or some reviews? Great vid showing only info, thank you . Maybe i should say that the cars that i am looking at have around 240.000 km or over 225.000 km
I thought the N47 in 120D models was subject to the timing chain failures, due to too long service intervals. Wasn't aware that the 116i was also subject to this problem, but if that's the case why doesn't the 118i have the same problem? I don't really care about the HP difference, but the distribution chain is obviously a big factor that I'm taking into account. I'm looking at both the 116i and 118i. Any tips?
Main problem with the timing chain is that the extended oil change time is killing it. Change the oil every 10k kilometers after changing the chain and you will have no problems.
on your old video of e90 review you said all 320d engines were unreliable while here you say only n47 are while the older m47 aren't. I think you should write a comment or edit something in that video.
Fade Do you have a link? Like before, all I can find are links on Before 2008 or Only 2007-2008.

I believe the timing chain teeth were too sharp on the crankshaft pulleys which weakened the timing chain. BMW, on the quiet offered free timing chain tests (measuring if the chain had stretched too much) - if it hadn't they'd fit a new tensioner for free, if it had they'd fit a new chain, crankshaft and the whole lot for free. I can't find anywhere that it's 2009 onwards. Back when it was all happening or now.

How about the fact that the petrol engines are tragic ,, and the diesels are worse than that , leading to a law suit in the states for being unfit for purpose ,,, thats poor.
Yeah. At least the N47 Motor has the Timing chain problems. Some people say it's only for motors produced in 2007-2008 (June) but as far as I know this problem occurs in all of the N47 Motors.
For a first car I would recommend you go for Honda Civic or Toyota but bmw is just a money pit. If you are unlucky with yours there will be constant problems are the time. I’m a victim
@@kwakuadugyamfi I got one for about a week or two and I had some problems with the electronics and the car was stalling and cutting out because of them and something which looks like a leak as well at the same time it’s now smoking a lot. I’m trying to reject the car and return it to the dealership but they’re lying and trying everything to avoid it.
@@V1PERB3ATZ I bought one on 28th December and until now the car hasn’t been with me for two continues weeks. As I’m speaking to you the car is with the dealer and he has given me a Ford Focus to use as a courtesy car. The only positive thing is that I had a three months warranty. After buying the car I went on a motorway drive and the engine light came on, took it back to the dealer and he said he was going to fix it. Brought it back and everything was good for a week and afterwards the engine light started flashing, it rough idle, shakes and hesitated in the morning when it’s cold. Until now they are unable to fix it. My biggest mistake I have done is buying that car
@@mightymight8450 hi mate. Buy the car as long as you find one that had gotten all scheduled maintenance done. If you take good care of the car and also take it to scheduled maintenance, it can be pretty reliable
Fuel consumption is terrible and there's no power to excuse it. I'd rather go for a diesel but before buying it get some knowledge about the timing chain issue and how to prevent it.
Don't forget that if a timing chain or belt snaps then it can cause serious damage from the pisons coming up and smashing into the valves. Changing a timing chain wouldnt be €3000, but fixing the aftermath of it breaking could easily be.

really is just for the oil the problem? I don't think so

True, BMW are putting their service intervals after way too long. If i had one, max i would go would be 7,500kms.
That's correct. I read that somewhere else as well

宝马最差劲的就是发动机各种密封胶条，高温设计太容易老化，一老化就漏机油。气门油封万公里就坏掉，油封不贵，伹更换斦费用非常高。非常麻烦。
I'm going to buy a 2004 116i....any advice
plz make video on Jaguar XF.and XJ after 2009
Nitin Soni NEIN!
03:08 what is really poor? Tendamiquipent?
The standard equipment lmao 😂
My 2004 1.6 l needed 12l fuel per 100 kms
You can drive a 135i with 12l...
How about the fact that the petrol engines are tragic ,, and the diesels are worse than that , leading to a law suit in the states for being unfit for purpose ,,, thats poor.
So the 120d 177hp is not good cuz its N not M
Yeah. At least the N47 Motor has the Timing chain problems.
Some people say it's only for motors produced in 2007-2008 (June) but as far as I know this problem occurs in all of the N47 Motors.
What about the e87 116i 2009? or the 2013 model? are they reliable? worth buying as first car or would a 2008 e90 316i better choice?
You have an answer now? I’m wondering how the 2007-2011 116i 1.6 are? I want it as my first car good?
For a first car I would recommend you go for Honda Civic or Toyota but bmw is just a money pit. If you are unlucky with yours there will be constant problems are the time. I’m a victim
@@kwakuadugyamfi I wish you warned me a little earlier bro 😂😭
@@kwakuadugyamfi I got one for about a week or two and I had some problems with the electronics and the car was stalling and cutting out because of them and something which looks like a leak as well at the same time it’s now smoking a lot. I’m trying to reject the car and return it to the dealership but they’re lying and trying everything to avoid it.
@@V1PERB3ATZ I bought one on 28th December and until now the car hasn’t been with me for two continues weeks. As I’m speaking to you the car is with the dealer and he has given me a Ford Focus to use as a courtesy car. The only positive thing is that I had a three months warranty. After buying the car I went on a motorway drive and the engine light came on, took it back to the dealer and he said he was going to fix it. Brought it back and everything was good for a week and afterwards the engine light started flashing, it rough idle, shakes and hesitated in the morning when it’s cold. Until now they are unable to fix it. My biggest mistake I have done is buying that car
7500 euro i paid for a 09 120D coope 141k very clean everything working perfect ,from a garage but did i pay too much?
On Yer Bike Cycles yeah
Lol too much
141k km or mile
I have found numerous for sale with that price that has only gone 50-80000km
i dont get it.I think about buying a 1 series 116i 2004 does that one has the chain timing belt isseus??
go for a model after 2007, and make it atleast a 120i. I drive a 116i and I regret it, its slow and unreliable.
Also dont buy a 4 cilinder version, always go for 6.
Diesels have the time chain issue
Не знам точна каква е националността му , най вероятно Брибалтика не знам , но произношението му е , за първи път нямам думи.
Space and space! Brake and brake! I did Nazi that coming!
I want 2.0 diesel after 2012
I got one 😁
I have 116i 2005 it's my first car what do you think about it??
Share with us!
Good choice, mine is a 2008 116i model
Just 12l/100km in city
Im looking to buy a 116i 2006, is the car good? any issues i should look ?
@@mightymight8450 hi mate. Buy the car as long as you find one that had gotten all scheduled maintenance done. If you take good care of the car and also take it to scheduled maintenance, it can be pretty reliable
Rattling noise is a lose chain belt because it’s wearing down, your car engine may fail lmao get it fixed
nice car super and better car bmw car is nice car
Good car
my experience
I own a BMW 1 series 120 model and the gear lever light is not going off even after switching the car off. What do I do
please contact me on wycliffemasoo@gmail.com
Gasoline all over it and burn it.Get a prius.
What is FEZLIFT ?
The 1.6L (Di) 122hp 2008 LCI is good? Thx.
Fuel consumption is terrible and there's no power to excuse it. I'd rather go for a diesel but before buying it get some knowledge about the timing chain issue and how to prevent it.
Thx for the answer.
Forgot to mention something - if you're driving only in the city stay away from diesels, youre gonna have problems with particulate filter.
I know :D, turbo, fap...
Amazing 🇦🇱
only take m47 or m57 XD
Why buy a BMW?
Lmao, you sound like Borat
Might as well walk.
I will never buy bmw again i lost all my investments to this car
Don't forget that if a timing chain or belt snaps then it can cause serious damage from the pisons coming up and smashing into the valves. Changing a timing chain wouldnt be €3000, but fixing the aftermath of it breaking could easily be.
Jallenbah im getting an e87 (1 series) in a few weeks 118i and that is the first thing im gonna do, im going straight to a garage and changing it lmao
Fade what milage did yours brake?
Fade wow, that is very low milage fot it to break, were u driving it hard?
Fade i aint gonna take any risks, im changing it asap
What a clear info thanks man
Bmw e87 118d 2006. Great car even after 250k km. But after 200k had to recondition rear differential, rebuild rear suspension renew front suspension arms. About100k had to recondition abs dc unit. The dual mass clutch and flywheel are still okay but can go as early as 80k depending on driving conditions. Love it even after 12 years
nice car super and better car bmw car is nice car
