This is the all-new BMW 128ti!
Now hear us out, BMW fanboys… We know you won’t be happy about the 128ti being front-wheel-drive! But Mat’s got his hands on one to find out if that's really such a bad thing.
For starters, the performance stats are more than good enough. With a 2-litre turbo under the bonnet, the 128ti can put down 265hp and 400Nm of torque! What’s more, it’s claimed it can power you to 60mph in just 6.1 seconds!
Sure those stats aren’t ground-breaking, but with a price tag of just under £34,000, the 128ti is clearly a direct rival for hot hatches such as the Golf GTI and Octavia vRS!
But does it have what it takes to top them? And more importantly, will Mat be able to hit (or even beat!) the claimed 0-60mph time in the wet?! You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

Anyone actually know what ti means?
Nice and aggressive looking. I actually like the red decal, stands out from the rest. Plenty of power in the front wheels. There is not much to hate. People are gonna be bitter because the m140i is a beast and they don't make cars like that anymore but we should only compare this car to the rest of the new cars in it class. Not bmws fault it's the climate.

Matt didn’t mention that you can delete the decals at no cost when configuring the 128ti. You do lose the contrasting side skirts as well though, which is a shame.

Never thought you'd say this about a BMW? Have you seen their grilles on the likes of X5, X7, 7-series? Tacky is the perfect word for them.
Mass production has destroyed build quality.

A BMW in FWD? In what world we're gonna bring our children...
Not all cars have to be AWD or RWD, and there is pros to the FWD as well. But still, i would prefer tuned up Golf R to this car, i must admit. Up to 500-550hp tuned.
Really important purchase choice; you can apparently option a delete of the red parts and the Ti logo on any colour that has them

The 128ti comes with the full digital dials as standard right now. BMW have run out of the basic dials according to my dealer. Check the configurator to be sure, as the basic dials may come back if the parts supply improves. But, right now the full digital dials are standard spec. I ordered mine in January without upgrading the dials and now I am getting the full digital dials at no extra charge :-)
Fuckers. I ordered mine in August and it arrived last week without the digital dials even though I spec'd them. Dealer told me they where having issues with the digital ones at the time mine was built
@@StringerBellz now that sucks! I hope you got a refund on the option.
@@StringerBellz What the Fuck?
@@johnfranklin6394 they just added one of the tech pack options instead without even telling me. Pissed doesn't even cover it but can't fault the car though.
@@johnfranklin6394 If BMW‘s new analog dials in their lower end "basic" models wouldn’t be so ugly then I’d rather save my money and buy one with analog dials. They could’ve designed it like the C class analog dials, not exactly like the C class but they could’ve made good looking analog dials.
That Nike comparison was spot on Matt
Awesome video Mat!😸
Analog dials look way cooler than full digital ones. Especially on a sports car. Change my mind.
Dissagree, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion
Thats a fact and nobody can change facts mate
We’ll thats just like your opinion man
It's your own opinion. And asking people *on the internet* to change your opinion is like throwing rocks at a lion
I prefer the digital ones like in the Audi RS versions cause it looks sick as fck and I can modify it to look what I want it to look like and not get bored after like 4 months. And you just prefer the analog ones.
Everyone thinks differently and just cause they have a different thought process doesn't mean one is superior to the other
@@monst3rmoody that's not fact.
It is the time for a drag race between 128i vs golf gti vs megan rs vs civic type r vs focus st vs hyundai veloster N with DCT transmission vs 308 gti. just to let us know which fwd hot hatch is the fastest 😉
I agree because I know for a fact the golf would destroy it when it comes to braking 😂 a normal polo stops 3m sooner than that BMW from 70mph 😂
@@JonathanGray_UK bruh the road was wet
@@mirofin wet and 4C outside when I tried it in the polo 🤷♂️
5:30 Mat's annoying things about cars can really be eye openers. Really useful information.
About the optional tire: this is a known trick to save 1-2g CO2/km. If you do not check the box you get something like a goodyear efficient grip. So what count for the emission is the standard tire. Everybody who is aware will take the sporty tire.
Audi/BMW/Benz do the same with the size of the Tank. Optional +10-15L for cheap money (+50€). I'm pretty sure on the assembly line they put the big Tank as standard
You had me saying “it’s not so bad “ up until the “no manual gearbox “. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.....
It's the sad future of cars buddy , get use to it
@@olivier3164 they still offer the M3 and M4 in manual though, which is pretty cool...
Love this pop out banner Matt keeps mentioning on every video but never pops out....
Thought it was just me haha
@@danielworsley1871 I thought it was just because I watch the videos a bit later than they were published, but this one was fresh haha
I get the banners when watching on my phone, but not when watching on my smart TV. No idea why not.
@@johnfranklin6394 They don’t work on tv
The pop up appears when ya watching the vid on a pc
Takein in to the consideration only the driving experience what would you chose between 330i vs 128ti?
Why is it covered with a red bandaid?
We have one of these just like this but with the full digital dials and it is brilliant. Fun and feels very plush to be in. Better than a Golf GTi. And I have tried both!!
Nice video again as always! We all know Mat is the best Motoring Journalist! And also this looks like a great car! Finally something thats not an electric car again! I somehow think it is weird though to have a ti badge on most of the car and then have an M steering wheel and M Stripes in some spots? It's almost like having a golf GTI with an R Line package? 🤔 Very interesting decision BMW made there! Either way can't wait to drive one of these myself! 💯
Great car. Fitted with adaptive dampers would be even better as a daily driver.
4 fingers actually did fit!!!! Wow!!

Thank you, Matt. I can't unsee the moustache now :)
other than the cabin the old one was so much better in terms of looks, and the RWD was a nice consersation starter instead of the FWD
sorry to hear you're unable to start a conversation now with a FWD car :(
I am not against you but RWD hatchbacks aren't fun to drive. FWD or AWD system suits hot hatches better, RWD on a hatchback makes it lesser quicker and makes the joy and trill of driving a hatchback blund.
@@johndavidson3424 Absolutely not. This 128i is only 0,2 seconds (0-100km/h) quicker than my older 125d with 40hp less and RWD. The new 135i which has only 40 hp more and but with AWD is 1,2 seconds faster. You see how the traction control slows the 128i down. I would never buy a car with more than 250 hp and FWD. My 125D has 450 NM, I would have serious traction problems with FWD.
That's probably the reason why we will never see a 125D in future.
Nice Mini 👍
Love this 128ti!
Phuuu! I was a little bit afraid that he wasent going to launch it.
Thank god! xD
Matt: I can fit 4 FINGERS in There
Everyone: AYOOOO, PAUSEEEEE
So what happened
Nice looking car Matt. Many of those cutout and vents are designed for the modding market even though they are fake 😀
*Love it looks great*
I hope there’s a mid generation facelift that sorts out the grill
used to be able to get a 340hp turbo I6 m135i for under 30k. now this FWD 2.0L costs more.
But that M135i interior looked old, had less space in the boot and rear seats, was a bit too boisterous in its character and inflation has done its damage here.... Its happening across all cars, back in the early 2000s, an X3 was very expensive at 33k, now they're good value new at 40k.
@@magnustan841 Literally no BMWs are "good value"... They all break within 5 years, and thats a fact. They didnt do that until the Fxx generation.
@@TheGamingNorwegian exactly the reason why I think Lexus is underrated amongst premium brands. However, I’m just making a case of how inflation has made car prices look extortionate if you know what previous generation, older models cost when they were brand new. Case in point, X3 from two generations ago, compared to current X3.
Lol, my 20 year old rover V6 has red outlined Rover footwell mats.
I'd prefer the T Roc R, it's a little more discreet in terms of styling, apart from the 4 Akrapovic (not fake) tail pipes and seems more practical.
The 0-60 is far better in the T Roc for a start, and the transmission brings in 4WD when the front wheels start to lose traction.
A comparison test would be interesting but my money, on the T Roc R.
Great video Matt, hi from sunny Spain.
Loving the finger action lol
purple trousers ! that's brave Mat
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is the “ti” sticker actually peeling off on the side skirt?!?
Can't unsee the smile face on the front of the car.
However guys, if you do a comparision on price ... it's probably more comparable with a Golf R, rather than a GTI.
Great review (as usual) 👍🏽
1:39 looks like Matt has something else on his mind 👀
Would probably be a good company car if you like it over the A35 and S3. Ti badge is more of an exclusive, but the trim is a bit gaudy
I test drove one of these a couple weeks ago and it was AMAZING. The FWD does mean that in tighter little twisty roads it does really really well, although I do miss the RWD F20 model
That’s wheely thing used to be called torque steering in the olden day’s Matt
I love those dials! I think they're much better looking than the BMW digital display
I wanted to comment the exact same thing. Looks a lot better!
IMO Just get an old BMW 140i. Rear-wheel-drive and was offered with a manual.
You'll get a great engine (B58!) and rear wheel drive fun. But I'd always recommend getting the ZF 8-Sepped Auto in the F20-1Series. I have the manual and it's easily one the worst manual transmissions I have ever encountered. Sadly. You could of course just put the manual from an M2 in there and you'll be fine, but the regular one is just shoddy.
I just sold my M140i shadow Edition to get my new 128ti, the new car is much better, not as fast in a straight line but so much better handling it's not even close. They got the balance absolutely spot on. Oh and the interior is on another planet compared with the old one. Fast, wonderful handling and beautifully built with the amazing interior.
@@jamiewalton666 You are insane. Sorry if that is rude but if you really have done that it is insane.
@@entropy5431 I think he’s joking. Let’s pray he’s joking
@@entropy5431 not at all, it was all grunt and nowt else,handling was really poor for a hot hatch to be honest as all the car reviews say. Sounded lovely but interior awful. Like I said, the 128ti is a propper hot hatch in that it has the handling on the twisties and interior whipes the floor with the 140. The steering feel on the 140 was crap, miles better in the 128 which has much better feedback. It's literally pin sharp, and doesn't skit all over like the 140, especially if the road is wet or damp.Maybe you are a 140 owner yourself and don't like to hear that the new kid on the block is better. Oh and by the way most reviews say the 128 is a better car than the latest 135 aswell. Anyway, unlike yourselves I've driven them both so I know what I am talking about.
Hey carwow, you get the fully digital display as standard now. I have also heard that the older manufactured cars will get a free upgrade to the higher level display.

@@enriqueprslja6531 Probably it smells fishy as well...
I’m happy with my 118i it’s comfy, enough power to carry you to work and back, kid loves it more than my X1, very practical medium family car.
So does this have stiffer suspension still from the M sport model ? I’m looking to test drive the 118i m sport but constant reviews and seems to be the only negative to have firm the ride is ? My back is concerned 😬
The thing with the Michelin Sport tires is simply because these tires ever so slightly increase the CO2 emission of the car, this allows BMW to perform the emission test on the normal tires.
Same thing with fitting bigger petrol tanks as a no-cost option with certain brands. All thanks to stupid government regulations.
Over time, to me this car now looks brilliant and not as ugly as I thought, the FWD is still the issue though think I’ll stick to the bigger RWD Beamers
Have you lost your eyesight over time?
@@Hans_Holt I’ve just gotten used to the grille now I suppose and the rest of the car looks muscular and overall great
@@maxwastell1073 in my opinion it’s ugly as sh**. Look at the proportions. big fat front und a rear like cut directly behind the rear axle. It allready looks like that it will understeer in every corner....
