Unpopular opinion, and I'm concerned to even comment this (considering the level of hate towards this car in this comment section), but i actually find this a rather nicely designed option
It actually looks good and sexy, and if you see reviews from western countries they actually find this gran coupe as one of the best looking BMW models. But here, Malaysian just don’t like anything new to their eyes especially because they’re used to the typical BMW rear looks.
Test drove this car…was sceptical at first but after the test drive, it is indeed a good effort for an entry level BMW…much better than its competitor, Mercedes..:)
Sometimes . Weird look is something interesting . Just when we get used to . Just like g80/g82 😂 it got ugly grill . But at the sametime it look just fantastical beast
it may be nice to drive but with 200k+ for a fwd id rather just have a civic, id have saved 80k there...i already have the ketam civic which is even slower so if I'm upgrading ill probably look for a 3series or something
@@esk4105 true bro, but for a family man, needs space, comfort and speed occasionally, 320i is wise choice compared to 218 GC...Still prefer 4pots than 3 pots.. and that's a price of RM25k to pay in between😅
I never can get over the fact why is it called a coupe where it is otherwise. Other than that, the poor finishing leave much to desire. The attention to details can be much better.
This is luxury car. Of course not cheap than normal cars. Btw, are you really sure that this car is poorly built quality? In the past, used to be bad quality somehow, so I agree with your points but not anymore, latest BMW quality is getting better. Even from the survey said BMW quality is now around top 10.
@@esk4105 well i am speaking as a former bmw owner, having owned a ABckd e60 bmw 523i se, and it is a accident free car, but both front fenders are misaligned , with gaping panels with the bonnet, no help from AB to rectify the problem..my father inlaw has a 2018 ckd bmw x540e , with both misaligned front fenders and misaligned driver side door, again complained to AB , no action....i do believe BMW malaysia should pay more attention to the build quality of its vehicle, especially ckd cars....which sadly , is quite wanting...moreover what all galvanises the luxury motoring experience goes beyond the initial purchase experience, and should encompass the after sales experience, which is sadly lacking....in short though i appreciate bmw launching many new models, but i d believe they have their work cut out, in the malaysian market
@@poovaneswaransupramaniam19 even Merc got a lot of problems too ma. Maybe your car isnt well built. My BMW is perfect. I don't have any problem with the quality.

Nice colour. Suits the car more than that bright blue
Great review! But remember, double line cannot overtake
🤣🤣🤣🤣
the driver is not crossing the double line. the B38 is crossing the double line lol.
Man, this car is gorgeous. Hoping to afford this in a few years time. Right now, i am content with my e90

A200 looks wayyy nicer than this.
@@realgimhan a200 front looks ugly
What Mercedes model you're comparing this to?
@@NgiamTeeEe 218i vs A200
@@amirism91 change the grille to amg u're good
m pretty sure many would just change to Non run flat tyres after a while
I can't accept a single exhaust when the whole car is being wrapped in M body kit.
At least it's a real exhaust tip, as opposed to Mercedes
@@yihao1329 which model of Merc r u referrring?
@@yihao1329 and audi 😂 fake fake fake . Fake exhaust tip . Fake air vents . No hole , just design 😆
@@billylaw2875 most Merc & Audi use fake exhaust.
You can buy m235i then
Hi can I ask a question. I’m looking to replace my 2005 Toyota Wish, is this car suitable to replace it in terms of performance and daily drive?
Please do not overtake at double line roads. Safety first
Price point, fwd, grunt and space, I would settle for Passat elegance.
Good choice
But Passat spec lacks a bit than 2 Series, include safety features
Yo, what watch you got on there buddy?
The rear-end, just looks a bit odd, tonngek belakang. But it gets better once you get used to the looks.
Sometimes . Weird look is something interesting . Just when we get used to . Just like g80/g82 😂 it got ugly grill . But at the sametime it look just fantastical beast
Someone who has more than 100+ Million Ringgit Malaysia, no problem having this car.
Haiyaa take over at double line.
But Everything was So Cool. I Might Get this Car No Brainer

Nak laju ambik Golf, coming soon..

Bro has that Wakanda accent
It's basically an expensive version of Saga VVTi
Yeah so very true
Of course every luxury car is not really cheap compare to normal cars. And btw, this doesn’t look like Saga.
@@esk4105 yup agreed , it looks more like honda city, especially the rear design
But much powerfully than saga vvti
this model got paddle shift?
Don’t think so
This might not be a race car but this car can pickup girl easily because girl don’t understand what is performance
Nice review car BMW 218i Gran coupe
Front looks alright but I cant seem to accept the rear which in my opinion is quite ugly.
But rear looks okay and doesn’t look ugly at all.
I love it, looks aggressive
It's the other way around for me, the front looks like a focus or something
Now add rm5k get new digital meter cluster
Can upgrade to digital meter cluster?
@@hilmishafee4315 yes rm5k, but for latest model i think all comes with it
BMW 218i Or Honda Civic FE
What is the point of getting a FWD 3 cylinder BMW sedan???
This car are screaming "I'm too poor to own a 3 series"
would the 3 series scream to poor to own 5 series.. and so on? lol
I though my 318tiA 4 cyl 2 door hatchback was the smallest BMW. I didn’t know that there’s a 3 cyl 218i sedan. Never seen one here in LA yet.
@@robertonavarro7713 you never seen a 1 series ?
Autobuzz, please educate him on road safety. Overtake at double line roads? Crazy. One dislike from me.
That rear tho
Pls now pass the car to YS KHONG for a youtube review drive up the Genting Highlands ...(!)
Still prefer 320i as my 1st beemer
But can’t compare between this and 320i as both are different segment. But anyway, that’s your choice bro.
@@esk4105 true bro, but for a family man, needs space, comfort and speed occasionally, 320i is wise choice compared to 218 GC...Still prefer 4pots than 3 pots.. and that's a price of RM25k to pay in between😅

Intro tu mcm kat sungai tekala Semenyih je 🤔
EJ will say NO!!!. Haha
big NO. people who buy this buys it just for the *badge*.
It is a joke with this type of power. Damage the brand name.
Proportion of this car is off, and the rear is fugly
That’s your choice bro. But this car looks okay, even rear doesn’t look ugly at all.
