08:51 Handling and Steering
14:13 Reliability - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
15:42 hits the nail on the head! I own one of these little nightmares... Never again!
When it DOES work, though, it's great. It's the engine that really, really holds this car back, in performance, fuel economy *and* reliability.
I go back and watch this video with rose tinted glasses sometimes and that part always brings me right back to reality
I highly disagree on this. My personal experience with mine is not bad. I have n18 r56.
-Got really screwed up by BMW decision to do a sandwich board for the LPFP took me a day to fix it.
-Replaced coils, spark plugs, brakes, valve cover, top chain guide.
-replaced hpfp
-ECU failure due to wrong charger used on the battery (also who in the right mind is trying to charge battery when it's connected directly to the car - just me 😅)
-thermostat, water pump and piping replaced
- car is driving without any problems. I moved across Europe (Ireland to Germany), drove to and back Split in Croatia, multiple trips to Poland completed too.
3 years ownership, 40k km driven. Most stuff was replaced in the first 6mths of ownership as I went through countless forums to make sure I'm not getting stranded on the side of the road.
These are princess cars - you have to predict what usually goes wrong in then and replace it before hand.
I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't feel overwhelmed by the use of tools.
Also don't go to dealership for the servicing - Hpfp costs 400 And 30 minutes work to replace by myself. BMW wanted minimum 1.4k
Past 2 years I averaged 8.6L/100km but living in Germany allows me to go on multiple top speed runs to and/or from work so car INHALES fuel then.
I daily a real 09 jcw clubman and I absolutely love it!
Really, am so thinking of getting one😊
@@salassieIyoot you should get one but make sure it’s an n18 motor or newer.. n14 motors like my own are not the best maintenance wise but still a joy no less. R53 supercharger sounds amazing though.
@@nolahahnshouse3389 I am still searching and am very greatful for your advice
Nice ☝️
Hey pal hopefully you comeback with more vids 👌
You put a massive smile on my face with that comment, thank you dude!
I have a new car so I'll have a few vids up by the end of the week.
@iBeInspire 👀👀👀 Yeah, man, keep it going. Your videos are very good !
Hi mate, just wanted to let you know - I've put a couple of POV videos up already and I'm currently working on the review which will be out this weekend.
Can't express how much I appreciate the support 👊
@@MickDrivesCars I saw them!
Hi any problems lately? I. Hear the N18 is better
Hi mate, I ended up selling this car.
This is a 2013 n18 engine car 👍
shouldnt use that much oil look at valve steam seals and turbo seals
