I test drove this car and I completely disagree with some points in this review. The level of noise on a highway is lower than most other cars in this class, also the suspension is one of the best I've driven.
You mean like every car in it's class? Getting to 43K euro is easy. The previous 1 series wasn't exactly cheap either. Where I work, this new one is actually cheaper to lease than the old one. Also define least further developed? You don't even explain what you mean by that. This car is miles ahead of the old 1 series. Most of you dislike it for not having RWD. Which let's be fair, is still very subjective and doesn't really matter for normal driving. And yes, I loved the way the old one handled. The DC transmission is the worst part of this car...Reminds me of DSG. Which is generally alright... until you floor it. Even then I think that the pros outweigh the cons. It is just a more rounded car that does everything well. And as far as FWD normal hatchbacks go this handles really well. Just test drive it.
Very good review! I am going to pick up mine tomorrow (my third white BMW 1 series with M package in a row) and it's great that not everyone likes it. So I don't have to see the same car all the time when driving. I don' t care about FWD or "only" 140 hp since I drive 90% in the city.
Don't be so narrow minded There is nothing wromg with 3 cylinder engines. Despite being more economical they have better sound then 4 cylinders too. They also work more smoothly then equivalent 4 cylinder
@@BrateTebra123 old f20 engine was easily capable of 220hp after a software update these trash cans barely do half… also one less cilinder means the lifetime will be less and rwd was the only thing that made bmw stand out from other cars!! If i wanted a volkswagen polo i would have bought one… not for double the price with a bmw logo
I swear this guy is negative to all BMW cars. This I Drive is proclaimed to be the best system on the market by most of the car reviews I've read and watched but not for this guy. All I hear is complain complain complain.
Yes right. They saved a shed of money on production. But as usual we the client end up paying on average 3k per car extra over the old model which was more expensive to produce. What a surprise.
You ended rhe review with a good point: premium brands no longer bring high end stuff to the entering segments, what do you get here that you won't get in the new Clio or 208 for example, half that price ??
Hi Marek, I love your video's and I really appreciate the way you form your opinion. You always manage to say the truth about negative sides of cars. Most of the time you are right. I just wish your video's become longer. Keep up the great work, grtz from Belgium! Oh and +1 for the intro!
@@MarekDrives Honestly I don't think your are missing anything on subjects level. Just some more details in general. I understand that long/ very long video's may be/become boring and it's difficult to find that golden middle. It's hard to improve when a certain level of perfection is already reached xD Maybe some interesting stuff on safety features, some cool quirks ( I'm sure every car has it). Also your opinion on cars music systems and rattling sounds when music is playing loud (if present/abscent), for example. Some important standard cars equipment could be interesting as well. Sorry can't give you much tips, but still I tried :-)
Yes, safety systems are hard to demonstrate. The last time I tried it with Volvo XC60, Volvo said (and that's the OFFICIAL reply) I should not put their safety systems to the test, because they work only, when they have to :)
People who claim that they can't tell the difference between FWD and RWD probably can't tell whether they're being pulled or pushed along by the car either...
So they cost less to make but the price is higher. Brilliant idea from bmw. The rest of 20%... some of them know it’s a FWD don’t need a special car. They want somethig like volvo, or audi that has a bmw badge that’s all. Old fans will have to look somewhere else.
Im Happy i just bought a 2014 model of this car! With rearwheel drive and bigger engine XD although i like the digital speedo, and led lights on this one
its funny that BMW made the new 1st series with FWD as an excuse to increase the space for rear passengers and the space for legs for rear passenger are still very limited!
In the Skoda Octavia the wipers also stop with the start stop system. Many cars do. So this is definitely not just BMW thing.... A lot or road noise? Of course in a c-segment car with 18 inch wheels. I have also test driven the 118i M-Sport and it was more than quiet enough. My corolla also has 18 inch wheels and it is way louder than this one (which is one of the reasons why I am getting rid of it). If you don't like the loud road noise get 17 inch wheels or something. Most smaller cars are loud on big wheels and rougher surfaces. There is not much you can do about that. Even the Mazda 3 on the 18 inches makes a lot of road noise. And that car is known for having a relatively quiet cabin. The engine reminded me of a VW 1.0 TSI with a bit more punch and a slightly nicer sound. Which is well... I am not sure. Kind of neutral about it. The biggest mistake IMO is that they went to a dual-clutch AT. The time it needs to shift down when you floor it is pretty long. Otherwise it is smooth Overall I think the old 118i is more fun, but for everyday use this one is way better. There is just no arguing that. Unless your daily commute is composed of almost only twisty mountain/country roads and you don't care about the interior and tech.
I [was?] looking for a car the replace my 2-Series Active Tourer 220i and did try-out this F40 but in 128ti guise as they don't sell the 120i here in the UK and i could tell the 118i would be too weedy for me. Looking back at this review you were spot-on with your findings, one of the reasons why i didn't go for the 128ti/1er F40 in general was the roof-line too low - yes i hit my head a couple of times. Suspension seemed too stiff on this version for everyday driving but at least the sport brakes work properly as my 2er has those dangerous brakes you mentioned - i was also having similar dud braking in a G21 320i recently, for a bit, when test-driving. Also i did find that iDrive 7 dash is a bit info overload, like u said - head-up-display helps. I like the old iDrive - partly analogue - 6 system, just all the info u need and easy to read, some would say it looks dated i just think it looks neat & functional. Wait till next year when it goes to iDrive 8!!!!! 😬 Good review Marek. Just to note for others: I believe this test car was the M-Sport model in which case those seats are optional on other models also the steering wheel & suspension would be different; gesture opening of boot and 40:20:40 splits seats are both optional extras on all models.
@@MarekDrivesENG *sigh* primarily iDrive 8 and no rotary controller, also high price and needing to spec expensive tech-pack (I think it was) just to get heated steering wheel. Plus the larger size - shouldn't I just get an X1? But same issues again unless it's a last-gen one. Otherwise pretty decent vehicle. Maybe I should consider the Mini Countryman ;-)
OK for city driving but when u get on to highways and such the smaller engine really has to work extra, also smaller engine = less torque, sometimes u have to rev more to gain the same as in a larger engine, e.g 1.5 L 118i vs 2.0 L 120i, generally 120i will always drink more but only slightly so, and you can drive on highways without sacrificing as much fuel... Maybe stage 1-2 the 118i and it'll be more efficient at higher speeds, of course it has to be done correctly so the engine doesn't lose longevity
The B38(?) 3-cylinder engine has a balancer shaft that smooths out unbalanced firing strokes. There is a shudder on starting but then the engine runs very smoothly - nearly as good as a 6. I had a F20 118i and my wife has a F56 MINI Cooper both with that engine - it’s really good.
In this one it should. I have an Xperia 1 with 21:9 aspect ratio, and it fit. I wouldn't be able to plug it in without some fiddling about, but generally it fits.
I just want the Interior, love this Design. Happy to see people dont like the overall Design gonna get it cheap soon :). Not really into Cars anyway so ill be super happy with it :)
Gott sei Dank You started with the driving, but likewise others you don't need to 'Mat' ur style, not even for fun: possible, but not advisable.. We all love u say what others skip, and that's it.
BMW's should always be RWD, Audi's should always be AWD, Mustangs should always have V8's. There's just certain things in the car world that must remain sacred and not messed with.
Somehow this generation does not look special or premium. It just another compact. For my taste Astra, Focus and French with Italians and Koreans looking better. It seems that now compact class left only with FWD or AWD. Is it possible to change speedometer and tachometer design through settings? For all these castration chip tuning garages will have solutions. Especially in secondhand market:)
Try to test drive Astra, Focus and this BMW, you'll see there is a huge difference. They are all FWD, but this car is just so much better overall, both when it comes to handling and comfort. It's the best car in the Golf-class currently, although it would've been better if it were RWD.

Not really fair, the 118i drives like a charm, believe me. Minis are not that cheap, also, and they are good cars. European regulations are strict and small engines are the answer. Audi is selling A3s with 1L engines for more than 35K Euros 😂
ahahahah this car takes less space in engine bay thats why they can not fit same engine like 140i in this one thats why 140i be fastest one out of all them 1 series )))))))))))) make boot bigger but not the saloon yeap makes aloot of sense )) How to find out who designed it ?

Great review. English is your second language yet you have a wider vocabulary than most people from the UK.

Yes totally agree to you, this review is really not objective, the 118i is a decent car, yeah there are some flaws but not more
Like your way of humor. The BMW 1Series is, I think, one of the least further developed cars of the last 15 years. 43.000 Euro for this one: a joke.
You mean like every car in it's class? Getting to 43K euro is easy. The previous 1 series wasn't exactly cheap either. Where I work, this new one is actually cheaper to lease than the old one.
Also define least further developed? You don't even explain what you mean by that. This car is miles ahead of the old 1 series. Most of you dislike it for not having RWD. Which let's be fair, is still very subjective and doesn't really matter for normal driving. And yes, I loved the way the old one handled.
The DC transmission is the worst part of this car...Reminds me of DSG. Which is generally alright... until you floor it. Even then I think that the pros outweigh the cons. It is just a more rounded car that does everything well. And as far as FWD normal hatchbacks go this handles really well. Just test drive it.
