Cruising around Warsaw in the All-New Bmw 3 Series (G20). The one I drove was the least powerful version of them all : the 318i but with an automatic transmission instead of a manual (an upgrade of 9700PLN/€2.1K/$2.4K) coming with the very basic options though. So basically, this is what you can get for 147.700,05PLN/€32K/$37K (price may vary).

WHAT ABOUT THE CAR ?
👍 It's a nice car, the center console is very intuitive, driving is fun, the exhaust could make some rumbling noise instead of just being there.. but for those who enjoy driving silently, this will sure satisfy your need, even at high speed. Overall, pretty good car!
👎 Lack of space in the second row.. definitely not meant for "tall" people.. I thought this car would be bigger when I saw pictures and stuff.. Other than that, it looks gorgeous from everysingle side!!

ps : As always, I'm trying to see if the least powerfull version of a model and standard configuration are good enough ? In this case, I had the least powerful engine with the very basic interior.. and it was perfectly fine! You don't need more power.. You may just want some interior extras like : beige leather seats (or red for the sportsters), panoramic roof,..
💦 FUEL CONSUMPTION ?
22:51 --- 10,9L/100km (21.5mpg) after 30mins drive.. I am pretty sure you can reach 7-8L/100kmh (33-29mpg) if you don't drive like me.. for the purpose of the video ofcourse =)

What do you think, is the rwd worth it compared to something like an octavia, golf, leon/cupra or a superb? Is it possible to throw the rear around in the corners at least a bit? Of course Im aware its not a sports car or anything like that I just want to know if its more fun to drive than the cars named I mentioned before :D hope you get what I mean..

[@POVDRIVE]

​@@MisoElEven For me personally, the RWD is not even noticeable.. I am pretty sure some people can make that car bounce around corners.. even though, the minimum good amount "Power-to-Weight" ratio for drifting is around 150hp.. and the 318i has only 104hp per ton.. So you should modify your car at least a little bit so it meets the minimum requirements if you would like to put less effort into that purpose.. or just opt for a higher engine.. Thank you for watching, and taking the time to share your thoughts about things & stuff 🙏🙏🙏

Super l'intro! Je kiffe trop tes videos 👍

[@olorin818]

Have you ever had any problem with Panek ? thanks for your videos, there are amazing!!

[@POVDRIVE]

Yes, when I was filming the Bmw x3.. they charged my credit card twice (4000zł each time which is about $885 so about $1770) for going over 6000rpm.. which is a fucking shame, especially when they carshare a Ferrari F430, Bentley continental GT, a Dodge Challenger, some Teslas and more.

[@purpleoushein3291]

What's so new about this car that many have started filming about it again? Thank you.

[@POVDRIVE]

That's a tricky question.. it's not like it's an old car.. it has been officially launched in 2020.. so 2021 is still brand new for polish standards.. In Poland you can drive a 17 years old Gallardo and be perceived as an "Awfully Rich Guy".. It took 4 years for facebook to reach poland after it has been launched.. so 1 year for a car is not that bad xD Beside, that Bmw is really nicely done, way better than the Audi A4.. In Poland you can lease one for less than $500 with no upfront deposits.. which is very tempting.. Maybe "the end of the virus", the beginning of the year (school year not calendar year), people show more interest into it.. - I saw this car for the first time in October 2020 and since then I wasn't able to rent that anywhere.. and the BMW dealership in Warsaw didn't want to rent me that car when I asked them.. So few month ago, Panek (polish carsharing company) launched some new cars among which, this one =) - I hope, your answer is somewhere in between those lines above, otherwise, I don't know what to say no more.. Thanks for watching & sharing your thoughts!!

@@POVDRIVE Thank you, I love watching POV driving. I also really like this car, especially the exterior, but unfortunately the interior is inferior to some competitors in its class because of the visual perception of the design elements, stresses a lot of glossy black coating and plastic buttons, which could have at least aluminum overlays for a more pleasant perception. In all other respects this car is undoubtedly attractive! Looking forward to the BMW restyling, it's just around the corner! I love that you not only show the cars during the day, but also at night, because it is at a later time that they transform and become most attractive. I would also like to see during the drive test of the audio system, it is quite relevant nowadays, I think! In order not to harm your monetization, don't use copyrighted music, but cull copyright-free music beforehand, you type that in your search: copyright-free music. Or just look into the phonetics of KZbin, it's definitely all in for free! I wish you further development and prosperity of the channel!

@@purpleoushein3291 Thank you for kind message 🙏 As it comes to the "audio system test", I will add this from now on, on all my videos. Thanks for your suggestion 🙏

[@giuseppesimeri4753]

Questa bmw 318i ha 156cv giusto?

[@POVDRIVE]

Si signore!! 😉

When I was test-driving the 318i I was deepy disappointed by the chassis. It was uncomfortable, unbalanced and bumpy.

[@POVDRIVE]

Next time you test drive a car, consider asking for one equipped with Adaptive Dampers instead of Air Suspensions (available as an option). The G20 was designed to provide a sportier and more responsive driving experience as standard. Stiffness is unfortunately crucial when it comes to overall handling and performance of the car. You can always explore alternative providers for aftermarket options. Personally, I found the suspension on the Audi A6 C8 to be exceptionally comfortable. It was the most comfortable car I've ever driven!

[@martinbauer800]

@@POVDRIVE That's all very well, but I personally would have expected a more accommodating suspension. This wasn't sporty, it was just plain uncomfortable and bumpy.

Have you tried the 5 series ? It should meet your needs! A friend of mine has changed his 3 series for a 5 series for those exact reasons.
