Actually i was never a fan of serie 1 (the old one) but this one i actually love it, the front is nicer for me, much more sport and the same goes to the rear, the rims are also better, the interior is better and nicer, so how can people say the old one is better than the new one? just because of front-wheel drive? it doesn't matter for 90% of people. One thing that i think bmw should start to worry about is the interior, because its almost the same as 10 years ago... come on... Anyway, i'm waiting for my 118d which actually has 2 exhausts :D

Most of new 1 series tyre air pressure is way too high tat's why new 1 series feels so bumpy. Go ahead to fuel station and change air pressure setting as other normal car. That will make huge difference. And in 2021, sadly BMW suffers from supply shortage before dealer's negotiations, BMW 1 cost up to A$54,000 with very basic option with comfort package( one of most popular) around A$56,000. BMW had deals brand new BMW 1 with BMW inclusive free five years service and enhancement packages around A$50,000 ( they increased price to $51,000 before closed the deal) but those day was over. For potential buyers better wait to until semiconductors short supply done.

Greetings. Agree with almost everything in this review, expect for 2 things. I think a car at this price point (if you compare it to something like a Golf for example) should have dual zone climate control and rear air vents as standard. In Germany, the ‘Comfort Pack’ comes with that, in Australia it doesn’t. Very strange. I also think the new car looks better than the old one because it is better proportioned, never liked the elongated front when looking from the side. Test drove the Audi A3 and Mercedes A180 with the 118i back to back before ordering the 118i last year. The Audi feels old and outdated and drives pretty much like the Golf I had, although materials are better. I know there is a new one coming this year I think. The A-Class, yes the layout looks good initially, but it does feel like having 2 iPads in front of you and there are so many customisation options and so many different things in different colours on the screen and the buttons on the steering wheel and the use of the tech system is 5x more complicated and more clumsy than in the 118i. And the baby beamers transmission and driving dynamics are much better than the A-Class. Incidentally, the 118i starts from $42,990+orc and Apple Car Play is now free. BUT, by far the best review I have seen. Well done.

“How are you going?” Is that the Australian version of “how’s it going?”...🧐 anyway! Good video, very intuitive. However, I disagree with your opinion on the front looking worse. I’d rather it be slightly tweaked and keep the angel eye headlights. Unlike the 3 series which in my opinion they have absolutely ruined! Day time running lights on them are shocking and are nothing like the iconic bmw lights. Unless of course, you get the M or Electric variant. I think this 1 series looks beastly. From every angle.
