I agree about the seat belt issue, and also the gearbox. It’s fantastic. Having driven a Ford Focus in various guises for the last 15 years I decided to go for the 120 M Sport exactly like your mother in laws and boy I haven’t been disappointed. Had it now for 3 weeks and love it. Time will tell if I have has much fun in it as I had with the Focus but so far so good. Loved the review. Take care.
Good review, I have this car and similar spec. Traded in 2 series gran coupe 220i for this. Saved me about £60 a month plus insurance is 20 less a month and mpg is better! Only downside to it I agree is the warnings which get annoying to turn off each time 😅
You’re right! I should clarify, the space above the boot floor appears identical - but underneath the storage space is almost completely gone due to the battery 👍
@@ismeto-j9y Yes, they want to destroy themselves because of the imbalance. I've seen a cutup model of the BMW 3 banger and it has 2 or 3 parts (with wear components like springs) that prevent the engine from self destruction. Do not buy a 3 cylinder.
I agree with most of your observations ... I would like to know if these cars have 'adaptive damper control' (?) which can be activated post purchase. I have almost come to terms with my new Series 2 Grand Coupé. My main gripe is the hard ride, on my 18 inch tyres. if you live in West Yorkshire to go faster than 50mph is a pipe dream and the car could become exhausting if you have to thud around all day on poor surfaces. My former one series was a better experience - it had knobs for a start. Click ON. Click OFF! *Eyes still on the road. I can also scrabble my front wheel tyres which I never did with RWD. Never mind - on we go...!
At the moment it looks like the only options are passive suspension, although the regular Sport model - with smaller wheels than the M Sport - is now available, could be worth a test drive to see if that would do it. At the moment the new 2 series is only M-Sport
I bought a brand new 320i M Sport in December 2023. Don't quite like the OS 8 . When the a/c is on the Auto Mode , the blowers tapers down after a while and you literally get the outside air . Ned to go on manual a/c but the blower speed has the be control as it gets to cold. The Centre console display doesn't really work for me , why would you have the compass and weather display on default while the clock is just a small font somewhere at the edge to the screen !
The seat belt issue effects the F40 generation so I do not think they will fix...Have the 128ti and it is a great car so I put up with the couple of small niggles like the passenger seat belt issue..
@@billionbear On mine it just rattles against the plastic covering in the middle between the front and rear doors...does get annoying and I have to move it to the seat bolster to stop it rattling against the side.. obviously not an issue on all so might get my BMW to take a look at it again....

Very beautifull! I have already ordered 120 mpack pro!
Good choice! 👍

11:45 whats that merc thinking?!
I know right!
The 120 has less boot space now. It’s only 300 litres as opposed to the f40 which had 370 litres. You now lose most of the underfloor storage
You’re right! I should clarify, the space above the boot floor appears identical - but underneath the storage space is almost completely gone due to the battery 👍
this is 3 cylinder engine car , do you think 3-cyl engines makes problem in the future ?
3 cyl engines are being used more often today and across the industry they seem to last well 👍

I’m a 128ti owner too. Never noticed the seat issue.

your car color black is metallic Sapphire black ?
I have this 120 msport but I can't find how to tilt the passenger mirror down while reversing to see the curb tried everything
I have it too but you can’t unless you have the pro pack which has the upgraded wing mirrors..just have to manually do it on buttons 😮
Beatiful car ,but a little bit expensive ...
Agreed, it’s remarkable how much new car prices have increased over the past 5 years 👍
Glorified mini Cooper. 3 series up are the one's yo buy
The mini cooper is on the UKL1 platform, not the UKL2 used on the 1 series/X1/2 series/X2 and the Mini Countryman - I mention this in the video 👍
@themilesdriven Mink Cooper or Countryman, doesn't matter. FWD BMWs are ass.
The worst BMW
So you have driven it
I drove one yesterday as my mrs is looking at them, it’s actually really good! And that’s me saying that from stepping out of my M3 Touring!!
@@Cad79 Bruh, your M3 Touring sucks too. Get any BMW prior to E46 and you'll see.
@@glurak888 we get it, you get nostalgic for your own reasons
@@koukoutsikoukoutsi4585 No lol. Watch the Jay Leno video in 7 hours, he does a car like mine today
