5 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE BMW 1 SERIES 118i M SPORT!!! IS IT BETTER THAN A MERC A CLASS AND AUDI A1?

[@richardjones1604]

Picking mine up today. M sport in sapphire black metallic. Great car.

[@OLTAUTOMOTIVE]

How have you found it after a week and a half of ownership?

[@philforest4747]

I’ve had this model for about 3 years and have just bought a new one. These are great cars and suit me. It’s been reliable. And does 46.8 miles per gallon. ❤

[@PranksandPodcasts]

do you have the petrol model? is it still good on fuel

[@philforest4747]

@@PranksandPodcasts it’s the 1.5 petrol. Drives well with the different modes. Is already doing over 40mpg. And I only done about 400 miles. Really pleased with the car.

[@OLTAUTOMOTIVE]

Great to hear! I am still a massive fan of these too

[@JeppeSeverin]

I had the first version of this front wheel driven 118i M Sport from 2020. Absolutely wonderful car, bur the front grill was maybe a little too exaggerated and flashy in a more cartoonish than stylish way, I'd say. Especially due to it being metallic/silver. It looks very good that they made it a little smaller - or it's my eyes deceiving me due to it being black.

[@OLTAUTOMOTIVE]

I think it’s a little bit of both! Definitely smaller but also the black helps out a lot

[@inthem-a-king]

Have they stopped the front wheel drive or something ?

[@paulrob86]

Just got a 22 plate 118i M Sport and I love it. But then I did change from a 56 plate Ford Focus 2.0l Ghia which I had from a year old and also loved it

[@OLTAUTOMOTIVE]

@@paulrob86 sounds like some upgrade for you! How you finding the change after so long?

Bear in mind Apple maps only mirror into the digital cockpit and head up display whilst being on subscription (Initial period is 3 years, then £79 per annum)

[@OLTAUTOMOTIVE]

Ah, something I didn't know! Thank you for the update on this! £79 isn't bad at all for a year, but not necessarily an expense you'd expect in a BMW

Spotify is one of the biggest benefit in this car for me! Have the same car but as 120i and felt in love with the build quality right at the beginning!

[@OLTAUTOMOTIVE]

Glad to hear it mate, have you collected it?

[@youraveragejoe1]

Main thing for me over the a class is the interior quality. A class looks premium but feels really cheap in places. Got this 1 series on my list for my next car

[@OLTAUTOMOTIVE]

I agree with you, Merc's can look really good, but the quality does lack

I don't like the colour of the wheels, nearly the same as the paint of the car. I still prefer silver wheels.

[@tenzin044]

Hi mate! It is a great looking car! I want in two months time change my old golf mk5 from 2006 to exactly this model! I been speak with a dealer and tried one how I feel and have to say-rocket! That was actually big wow inside! that's completely different world. Have a questions. Do you know when they changed cockpit to fully digital(flat)? Some boy told me earlier 2020 have the normal gauge and late 2020 are like yours. I'm not sure if this is correct info. Anyone can proof that? Btw-indicators are dynamic or normal flashing? Side mirrors folding when you lock? And I guess you have (because M sport) heated seats and ambient lighting? Greetings from Kent, Tom.

[@OLTAUTOMOTIVE]

Hi Tom! Unsure on the when things changed to a fully digital cockpit, but I’d imagine anything in late 2020 / early 2021 would have a digital cockpit. In terms of indicators, they’re normal flashing. Side mirrors fold when locking and the seats were heated with ambient lighting throughout the interior.

[@tenzin044]

@@OLTAUTOMOTIVELovely! Thanks for answer. After digging deeper, one from the dealer told me all models from 2021 onwards should have this digital cockpit. I can't wait seriously...;) Cheers!.

How much does your insurance cost for this car? I’m looking to get a car, but UK insurance costs are ridiculous.

[@OLTAUTOMOTIVE]

@@faceofthemoment4571 insurance for me on this car was just over £800. Don’t look too much into that though, as insurance varies dramatically between person to person, and the list of factors which affect insurance is endless!
