Here because I literally just ordered mine on a 17 plate! First car too. Very excited. Great video

[@ArmaganDemiral]

Cheers dude and enjoy!

[@jirikrajnak9047]

Stunning car, and good taste. BMW don't make them like this anymore.

[@SamWorthReviewing]

Loved the intro man, nice touch! Your content is getting better and better Armagan. I think this 2 Series looks better than its newer model years. Something about the styling of it, especially at the rear end, BMW did a good job at! Keep it up man! 😎

[@ArmaganDemiral]

Sam you sir are one big inspiration. Can’t wait to see you in a couple of weeks my bro! It’s lovely isn’t it. No wonder Chris Harris has an M2

[@SamWorthReviewing]

@@ArmaganDemiral you too mate, I'm looking forward to it! Yeah mate, love the green and gold wheel combo on his one! Suits it well!

[@mainathupana4484]

Agree, the rear👌

[@mrbigarms]

My next car without a doubt and they can be had for a good price now. I think they look better than the new model.

[@Mr_Bean_Stalk]

I have one of these 218d m sport coupe with around £3,500 extras fitted by the manufacturer. I've found mine to be suberb in all respects. MPG return in comfort mode extra-urban driving returns around 70mpg. On a single tank of fuel, toughly £80 to fill, I've achieved over 630 miles, but I've read this model can achieve more than this. Compared to my Vauxhall Crossland x 2020 1.2 elite turbo petrol, this car doubles the fuel economy and miles per tank - it's only £35 a year to tax. I think it's a great car and running costs outweigh maintenance costs by miles.

Did u remap it

[@siphosakhentuli7838]

Great feedback bro, 2024 and I’m looking to getting one. 🤞🏾

[@Alittledose]

I might be getting this on Monday as my first car as well. Been watching these reviews for like two months now.

Boss review mate. Helped me pull the trigger on ordering mine, delivery on Wednesday 😁 Appreciate the work you put in 👍🏻

[@ArmaganDemiral]

Cheers cal mate, enjoy your new car!

[@douglasunmack961]

How the car working out so far? Which one did you get?

[@callumthomson984]

@@douglasunmack961 it’s been awesome mate. I went for a blue 17 plate 218i, M sport trim, manual. It drives brilliantly, engine is smooth and it is fairly quick for the base model engine. My fuel economy hasn’t been great though, lots of motorway driving and I’m getting 30mpg. But overall I love it. Feels like a proper car 👍🏻

[@alostroworld]

Same. I'm taking delivery of mine tomorrow.

[@iz.FullSend]

The first video I saw from your channel was the Vauxhall Astra SXI from 2 years ago. Skipping forward to now it's completely different and in a good way. You sound more confident, the intro is lit and I think the camera quality seems better too 👊🏾🔥 Keep up the good content man 💯

[@ArmaganDemiral]

Cheers dude, appreciate the comment man!

[@youraveragejoe1]

5:30 on the side of the seat, the bolsters are electrically adjustable so you can loosen or tighten them

[@ArmaganDemiral]

I do remember adjusting them and they were still pretty tight

[@zeptrixhq]

The curves of the 218/220 still look great today!

[@ripleypipe]

Nicely presented Armagan. Owning a 1 Series 2010 M Sport Coupe myself, it looks like I could actually carry 3 passengers if I decide to go for one of these.

[@joeknocker8454]

Great review as next week i pick up the exact same car , same year , same 1.5 petrol engine but with manual gears but is the sport model not M sport in white ! The test drive was a round the built up area of car dealer but cant wait to get on the Motorway home to get a real feel of the car !👍

[@mrsupperman2678]

Hey guys! How is the reliability? Would you suggest a diesel or a gasoline one if I were to buy one now and keep for 4-5 years?

[@WitwitMotors]

In terms of reliability I’m not gonna lie to you when I purchased this car it came with a drivetrain failure but that could be because of the previous owner, I did get it sorted under warranty and since then the car has had no problems at all and I think most 2 series owners could agree the car is pretty high in the table for reliability, in terms of fuel it really depends on what your gonna be using the car for, if your gonna be using it for long daily commutes then diesel is probably your best option! And when you look at the diesel side of the 2 series you do get those 4 cylinders compared to my 3 which is always a benefit if your after that fuel and power balance

[@mrsupperman2678]

@@WitwitMotors Thanks a lot! I am looking for the facelift model :) Anything you would recommend as options?

[@WitwitMotors]

@@mrsupperman2678 nothing can go wrong with the 220d, it’s got the perfect combination of performance and running costs and you get that fun the rear wheels come with, if your desperate for more thrill and that “sporty feel” at near off affordable price the M240i is definitely out there on the 2 series range with im pretty sure the b58 engine!

[@rowaddles4287]

I want one of these as my first car as well, however like i don't know if its a sensible decision because there is so many mixed reviews on these BMW's.

[@F32Lad]

20k is way too much for 75k on a 2 series, can get msport 2l 2017 with round 50k miles for 15k

[@F32Lad]

still good review

[@WitwitMotors]

You can get the big m240is for that price too 🥲

[@captainhook6185]

Does it matter what year I get for instance if I was to get a 2015 , would that be fine ?

[@ArmaganDemiral]

Yes it would be fine

[@Don-po8vl]

Indeed I got a 2015 one also this color msports 190 hp still good. Only negative it has no touch screen or Apple play option.

[@robertedwardz]

I bought one of these cars two weeks ago June 2022. Should the traction be on or off?

[@ArmaganDemiral]

I dunno how to answer this question

[@robertedwardz]

@@ArmaganDemiral When you was driving the car was it on or off? Was the car stable to drive, or was it moving slightly?

[@ArmaganDemiral]

@@robertedwardz wouldn’t say so dude, unless it’s the 240i or M2. These models don’t put enough power down to flick the back end out so yeah it’s still stable with traction off

[@ersariantheoneandonly6821]

Always keep the traction control ON, it only engages when the tires slip, so on 99.99% of your daily driving it is "OFF". BUT, when you lose control of your car becouse of a wet road or oil it will engage and SAVE YOU. So just leave it on. The only time you should consider turning it off is on a Track, and even then if you are not a Pro Driver you should just put the car in sport mode, that way it engages less(let's you drift a little) but will still save you when you lose control. Keep in mind that with RWD even with 100hp you can really quickly lose control of the car in a tight corner on 2nd gear and a wet road

[@kwakuamprako]

Perfect video thanks. Does anyone know about insurance and car parts?

[@WitwitMotors]

Insurance group on one of those is around 20-21E and obviously depending on your company, age experience all that stuff your price will differ,car parts are widely available for a fairly decent price from what I’ve seen anyway, really does depend on what parts your after

[@ThomasBrown93]

Im 6ft 3, would I fit in this car? I have struggled with steering wheel not going high enough

[@23Shadowfox23]

I don't know for sure - never driven the 2 series, but with the 1 series you can lower the seat to the bottom (like you should haha) and my driving position was great (6ft1)

[@WitwitMotors]

You can lower the seat with the lever on the side of the seat 👍🏼

[@STYLEY_TV]

I been looking at a auto of these small 1.5 any good reliable?

[@ArmaganDemiral]

I can’t comment, but the owner hasn’t suffered any problems I’m aware of

[@WitwitMotors]

The car itself is reliable however the problems I have encountered is a minor coolant leak and after research it seems to be a common problem on the F22 however it’s not an expensive fix, interior quality is rock solid for me, I heavy use this car and there is still no sign of wear inside the cockpit, however another common problem with the BMW 2 series is the frameless windows, the regulator tends to fail if the car is exposed to very cold weather meaning a whole replacement is needed. Had the car for a good while now and I still enjoy the car every time I drive it :)

[@IdLoveAGT4RS]

Hey, nice review! Can you share your opinion/thoughts on remap reliability? I know that you can reach 170 ish bhp with a Stage 1. I am slightly skeptical however, having heard lots about the b38 engine having serious issues. Is a remap simply just pushing this small 3 cylinder engine too much. Thanks in advance :)

[@ersariantheoneandonly6821]

Just get the 20i

Worst car iv had 218d m sport. . Boot lock breaks, only access is taking the back seats out. Oil always goes down then you have to top up 1 litre with no oil leaks. Lots of plastic noise from the cockpit so annoying. Poor bhp so get it remapped to 177 bhp
