Bought one last month. Done nearly a 1000 miles of real world driving in it as my daily. Everything I hoped it would be, stupidly fast on the move if you want it to be without being obnoxious and obvious. Excellent!
As a kid I just accepted the "Euro cars are vastly more expensive because, just because '. And maybe the quality was far better than the opposition. These days I realise it's literally just a rip.off which they keep getting away with.
@@Sean-sz7zo Euros for the most part are poor value when you look at reliability, total cost of ownership and longevity. When they work very enjoyable, but that’s not enough.
Yeah, Toyotas and Hondas are pretty damn overpriced and often have cheap nasty aging interiors compared to their euro, Korean and now chinese competitors. But they are known for being reliable and having a great part support network. BMW/AUDI have neither, and are often riddled with engineering time bombs and other issues that make it a lot more work to do simple things for mechanics, hence much higher labour costs.
Took one for a test drive. Ordered one as soon as I finished the test drive. It was absolutely awesome.
Awesome. Glad you loved it!
Why didn't you get an m340i that's 1 year old for around the same money?
@@udeshhhhhhThe 1 series is the right size for many BMW owners.
have you driven S3 of new Golf R?

Love it!
Wow can imagine the depreciation on those a of couple years in
All cars depreciate, to some extent.
no 6cyl or manual option, yeah it will be brutal.
Thanks very much for the very detailed and informative vid on this BMW . You’re one of the best car reviewers out there 👍
Arthur’s Seat! Noice
Well spotted 😎

I guess you have never owned one. They are fantastic, and the new M135 is a step up from the previous version.
@@jockmarshall7601 I have not owned multiple Euros including several BMWs and clearly don’t know what I’m talking about. Thanks for sorting me out.

@@anasevi9456 cheap and nasty interiors for Toyotas and Hondas in 2024 is simply a cliched and outdated statement.
However, review is good thank you Matt
I’m afraid BMW has lost the plot.
please do a review for BMW iX2 or iX1
Typo in the length - it's 4361mm, not 4631 🙂
I prefer the interior and exterior f the new S3. Waiting for the 2025 with the torque splitter
I understand your thinking!
BMW are kidding themselves
Looks like ... Ford Focus but double price
What is your height please?
I think he is 6 foot.
Love the car ❤
Horrible camera distortion with the fish eye lens.
Please use a better camera.
Which parts are you talking about?
@@therightcarinterior shots. Go to 4.04 min mark.
The left side of the steering wheel is 1/3 the size of the right side of the steering wheel.
Wow 90k on road and have 19 " wheels 😂
You wouldn’t want bigger
Yes😂
Over priced given the competition. Will also be unwanted on the used car market given how the previous generation has fared.
Much cheaper than an S3 and similarly priced to a Golf R.
Fake leather and no spare tyre for 80k + for a small hatchback…. I can see why the German car production is in a fizzle
