[@KevS90]

Charlie May no, the f20 LCI (Facelift) has 109. The 118i is now 136 hp. But both are 3 cylinders. There was a short time ( June/July 2015) where bmw built the facelift 118i with 4 cylinders.

[@KevS90]

Charlie May if you drove the one with short back lights thats the pre facelift (116i) 136 hp and 4 cylinders.

[@KevS90]

Charlie May but thats not the facelift., thats the f20 (2012 - 2015)

[@derbigpr500]

Why the heck are they switching to FWD? What the fuck are they thinking? The only reason you'd ever buy a 1 series is because it's the cheapest RWD car on the EU market that's actually properly engineered and great out of the factory.

[@suberakanxavier3211]

Ikr!! that sucks, i bet it will have some components of a mini cooper to make it fun? idk but if i was to get a one series i would get the rwe generations...

[@imyourhuckleberry4208]

+derbigpr500 here in UK people just go for the badge and image with the series one, so it will still tick the box's. I would not no be seen dead in one especially if it is going front wheel drive, only a three series real wheel drive if any for me and i would not look way too much like a pretentious pratt like series one owners.

[@XzzVttll]

they are turning to the practicality and comfort... deal with it

[@diogotaira390]

I do wish they keep it RWD. People who really want practicality get SUVs. This is probably the only hatchback that is RWD. AND HAS A MANUAL OPTION!!! This is excellent!

[@Zerofightervi]

Most owners of the 1 series couldn't give a shit that it's RWD, I believe there was a survey done that showed 80% of 1 series owners didn't even know their car was RWD. All that matters is that it's the cheapest way of getting a BMW on their driveway. Also, BMWs are not properly engineered, look up N47 engine problems if you don't believe me.

Love this car. 1 series really looks good now. Goes exceptionally well also.

[@laylaedwards1460]

I was told by a BMW rep that BMW have one of the biggest fan clubs in the car industry. The RWD system works so well on the 1 series plus other models which is a big buying point for a certain person, but BMW want more than just fans of the badge buying their cars. As most cars are FWD OR 4WD, BMW want to get on a similar market with company's like Audi and VW. I've also heard that Audi may be looking into the RWD system as well, not sure how true that is!!. I drive a 2014 120d M sport. I've drove a lot of different cars but no car drives like a BMW, that's why I own one now. Hopefully not all 1 series will be FWD in the future.

[@SpY_101]

The feeeling you get to be pushed and not pulled is what makes BMW experience. Looks like i will need to keep my 120i for a long time.

[@DonLee1980]

huge shame that they are going FWD. It's biggest selling point for me was that it was still RWD, 50/50 weight distribution, and hence justified its rather more expensive price. If it's FWD, well I might as well just buy a golf.

Love the 1 Series. It's one of those cars that doesn't really add up on paper - you really have to drive one to "get" it. In my opinion it's the best car to drive in this class, and although I accept the looks aren't to everyone's taste, I personally think it looks great. Practical enough but with great handling. Shame that the next one is going to be FWD... I hope they at least keep the sporty design and don't make it look like every other hatchback.

I have owned a 2019 120i for two years now. After about 6 months I'd had enough of the runt flats and ordered a new set of summer tyres. The change of tyres transformed the car. The tyre roar is almost gone. The engine is very quiet as well. No vibrations can be felt through the steering wheel. For a car of its size it is actually quite comfortable. And, it is so much fun to drive!

BMW 1-series and A3 are the class leaders I recently had an A-class (a well specced AMG Line A180) and it was truly crap.

With BMW’s economy you really have to push to get the max. I have the F10 520d, I get a motorway average of 65mpg (had up to 69mpg). I get this by using eco pro mode, cruise control set to 70mph, plan ahead and most importantly switch your tyres from runflats to a decent pair of reinforced tyres.

[@J.Hedlund]

Thank you Mat/Carwow! Great review of the 1-series. I got a 1-series F20 myself (110 000 km), the only thing that isn't true is the "diesel engine vibrations in the steering wheel" point, i've never heard of it. I don't know about the UK but here in Sweden the 1-series comes with run flat tires and that's actually the worst thing about this car. I'm sure that's the vibrations in the stearing wheel point you're talking about. I've switched the run flat tires to "normal" ones, that's the way to go imo =) On the postive side, I love this car, it's the way i want it. Something that you didn't mention, the car is really low! It's a workout to get out of the car =) Other then that, the car is so much fun and reliable on the road, the M-sport chassi in a 120d is actually made for the M135i engine, how awesome is that?! To bad what BMW does to the next generation of the 1-series with the FWD, i won't buy the next generation of it. (Sorry for bad english)

[@pedrobotinasguedes]

I have a 116d ED, and I can tell you that I'm always amazed on how silent it is inside. The car you tried must have some kind of problem. Also, the space in the back seats is not great. that's true, but if you compare the middle seat with your review to the focus vs astra vs golf video, you show also that although those cars dont have the lump in the middle of the floor, you also need to put your legs aside because of the middle rear console does not allow any leg room. Rear Luggage is on par with Golf. So all in all.....these minus are not so minus..... Its just a bit mora expensive, but you can feel que diference when riding it, and on how amazing silent it is.

[@zarakmaxful]

As a 2016 116D ED owner I can vouch for the Beema's smooth as heck drive, especially when in SPORT. Sport has drive feel to that of a petrol car whereas in Eco Pro, you can definitely feel you're driving a diesel. However, in Eco Pro the fuel economy is utter bliss. On average I get 56mpg in Eco Pro in very high traffic city runs. On the UK motorway it's constant 68mpg when doing 70mph in 5th gear (not 6th). Having said that, you'll get higher mpg in 6th but the torque isn't as great in 6th gear. Any ways, Sat Nav as standard makes this car better than other premium rivals.

A Golf is much bigger inside. Also are cars available in the class with much better sound isolation. And quieter diesel engines.

[@louwrens7370]

2:11 Fuck this boot lid in particular.

[@Fennefar]

Even if there are some vibration from the diesel, the A-class has the same diesel you find in Dacia 🙂

[@danny6851]

[@vinnyd8108]

Can you review the m140 Please?? I know there are lots of other reviews out there for the car but I think Car wow reviews are the best in humble opinion 😁

[@manny3332]

M sport shadow edition with pro navigation n the interior looks amazing

[@ASTMA193]

Another great review, Mat.

[@zxc86zxc]

Wife has a lci 118i.I love to drive it...very fun car.

[@ariezalafzan]

LMAO you cracked me up with the cone on the car...

[@ugurkaankalem3869]

I used to watch car reviews from random channels but nowadays it seems I am addicted to your channel without noticing 😀 greetings from Istanbul ✋🏻

[@DeejaySpandex]

Why are you driving a 2016 edition but claiming it to be a 2018 on the title?

[@JunSN]

They should make two options, standard fwd or RWD and the other being the other drivetrain.

[@thokozanigab]

It's so sad how it's the last rear wheel drive 1 series😦

[@alexbunn1905]

1:54 "They do lie completely flat" Me: that really doesn't look flat to me

[@jadeyfamous]

I love my 2016 1 series m sport. I would never like it to be front wheel

[@Sundareshvara]

Mat sounds like Jarvis !!!

[@15october91]

The 1 series is the best hatchback!

[@15october91]

@r g I agree.

[@jasonwldes7636]

@hmm m Real bMW IS Rearwheel

[@GrumpyMansREVIEWS]

I've got one 120d M sport auto driving around corners in this car is awesome

[@Williamwallace-f92]

Best looking hatch ive ever seen

[@manny3332]

Have u not seen Audi A3 s line?

[@ast5515]

You said base models have all the equipment you need aside from rear parking sensors. But then you said it doesn't have cruise control. That is a fucking ripoff. Cruise control is standard on cars that cost less than half this much. So... Yeah.

[@ameytade6990]

Mat just nails it every time.😅😅👏👏👏

[@hamman1471]

My seat Ibiza is front wheel drive and it still get that stupid middle transmission area in the back even more than that BMW

[@akuskus]

The hump in there is in front wheel drive cars as well.

[@masjter]

4:30 taking that bend is just beautiful 😍

[@fabiusmaximuscunctator7390]

If I have to choose between spacing in the rear and fun to drive, I'll always go for the latter. Period!

[@Sharkster32]

That cone is the bane of all detailers, makes me shiver.

[@ErezAvital]

You should test what's the biggest tv we can fit.

[@hmi1750]

I had one. Loved it m135i. But rear doors are too pointy and long making opening in tight spaces hard esp with children in car seats in the back. The leg room is less than in a mini clubman.

[@GurkoKurdo]

FWD loool i have RWD 118i m performence and would never switch it to fwd. Not even m145i fwd

[@Alex-di8ti]

I once drove a 1 series and found the interior quite claustrophobic and the foot well to be narrow. It was an older one, so maybe things have improved recently.

[@mai4397]

225i? Matt wrong series....

[@DoktrDub]

5:18 - when did you become Robocop?

[@Cruxair]

This facelifted version looks wayway better than the original
