In-Depth Mechanical Review! // 2022 BMW 230i M-Sport

[@ItsDJ901]

This is my first BMW and this coupe is EVERYTHING...I've gotten many compliments and it rides so smooth on the highway but watch your speed because it'll get away from you before you know it 😎😁

[@bj10jgo]

any complaints on your 230? Hows the maintenance cost? Thinking of getting one.

[@deansmits006]

just saw a white 230i when in traffic the other day, and it looks phenomenal. The tail lights look great. I'm not a BMW fan, but I think it's the best looking BMW.

[@alexwithwatches6534]

So far the most thorough 2022 230i review on KZbin. Thanks You, order placed!

[@johndavidwolf4239]

On older BMWs that I am familiar with, the sensor on the rear diff was the speedometer pickup, counting the teeth on the ring gear, and they have had them there since at least 1983.

[@itsmejsb]

I’m a truck guy, but definitely want this car as a second vehicle for pleasure cruising etc. Very nice! 👍 Merry Christmas Sarah!

[@philipmyers9154]

WOW one more before Christmas, I think you will get some more BMW's to review. You are awesome thank you for the great content and cars.

[@chancefitzgerald7740]

This gal is amazing. Hard working, intelligent and funny. Merry Christmas 🎅

[@calstankey4131]

Behold, The BEST car reviewer anywhere! A brilliant mix of factual, tech data and personal impressions.

[@Primus54]

Congratulations that BMW is finally giving you the attention you’ve earned and deserve. The penguin interaction is a nice “seasonal” treat! Merry Christmas, Sarah. Thank you! 👍👍👍

[@mostcom]

Sure, who doesn't love a little demonic penguin action during the holidays.

[@daleleslie1049]

The Penguins are on the job all year round, not just Winter Time and I wish you a Merry Christmas. Cheers Primus 54

[@geoffnepo]

What a great review, especially like the fact that you showed the underbelly of mechanical bits which is a big bonus 👍

[@ChevyCitation]

🎄 Merry Christmas Sarah 🎄

[@Roger21989]

First BMW I’ve seen in a very long time that I would consider buying! Looks, performance and price are compelling.

[@duckyjp17]

Great to see a BMW review

[@TNExtremeMediaLLC]

I am contemplating leasing a 230i coupė.

[@rogerulloa2688]

I cannot get enough of your enthusiastic reviews. Please keep them coming!

[@Dbiers7743CA]

enjoyed the Penguin comments. Please keep it up. great review. Merry Christmas

[@Azspeedin]

Thank u Sarah for ALL the content this year😘

[@getlosttoday4045]

Thank you for your service, thanks for all you do for us, and Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@924patrik]

That texas rabbit comment rang more true then you could ever believe. I once had a E36 318Ti as a beater, and one spring, when it started to get warmer (i`m from sweden), it started to smell really funky. So i did a proper cleaning inside, checking for hidden hamburgers, waterleaks and such but found nothing. So i went in to the engine compartment and... under the batterybox i found a very deceased rabbit. Apparently, i had hit it during the winter, and it had bounced up between the strut tower and exhaust manifold (NOT a big space), and then gone to rest under the battery. Luckily, after something like 4 months in an engine bay, it was pretty... crispy, so removal wasn`t that grose. But, yeah...I know, i know, my mom is right, i am unique...

[@Janshevik]

I loved how your hair went forward during the brake test :D

[@JasonYergin]

I love the tweaks to the format and yeah... it was worth the wait. 😀

[@robertrohr3990]

Great review, so much fun to ride with you. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night (?)

[@MrFifth-up9jz]

Best reviews, love her sense of humor

[@dusty827]

Thanks for all the videos, Sarah. Merry Christmas! Take care of yourself!

[@D.Guitar]

I'm impressed. You made this BMW seem Attractive and fun. Merry Christmas Sarah

[@ianprice2298]

Totally agree with you on the “lifetime oil” thing. Always be wary of someone telling you something you want to hear. Especially up here where it’s cold, just gotta change the oil spring and fall, more if you put in lots of miles.

[@karlstuck6772]

Lifetime means, a certain lifetime is intended by BMW.

[@alexanderflack566]

"Lifetime oil" was referring to the transmission fluid, not the engine oil. I agree that it's not a lifetime fluid, but you should not be needing to change the transmission fluid twice per year.

[@daveg.6820]

Very cool review. Merry Christmas, Sarah.

[@mikeklein4949]

I really like how your channel is developing. Congratulations! Merry Christmas!

[@mfl950]

Merry Christmas Sarah , thanks for all your content this year , really enjoyed it.

[@MS-hn1ek]

Merry Christmas Sarah !!! Thank you for all the beautiful reviews and all the other content. :)

[@robinlodewyks1900]

Happy holidays Sarah. Thanks for producing such great content.

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

Nice going, Sarah ! (as usual) Merry Christmas !

[@giorgiogrillo7418]

Ogni volta che guardo i tuoi video resto stupito dalla competenza appassionata sulla bella meccanica, piuttosto inusuale in assoluto ed ancora di più per una ragazza. Gli USA sembrano la patria futura per gli appassionati di motori. Grazie

[@eefneleman9564]

Merry Christmas! Congratulations on your first BMW!

[@mikeklein4949]

Imagining Sarah with winglets. Nope. Perfect can’t be messed with.

[@alexanderflack566]

I've been hoping to see a review of this car that went in-depth on the underside. This was extremely helpful, thank you.

[@Gene1969]

This is the first BMW I've liked in a long time. I even like the looks of it! I would call the car "Tossable" in reference to its driving enjoyment. This was a very good review. I hope BMW sends you more cars to review. Merry Christmas!

[@roninbushida1180]

Idk, I’ve had a lot of BMWs and this is my least favorite design by far. It needs to return to the older double halo headlights

[@rawevoli]

@@roninbushida1180 imagine buying a car because the headlight design

[@rowinpals]

Great review Sarah! Happy holydays 🎄

[@mickeybonejelly]

Hi Sarah, great to see a Bimmer on the channel at last. may it be the first of many.

[@jamesholland7268]

Merry Christmas, Sarah! Another great video and another beautiful car.

[@roytafoya6540]

life time oil is the life time of the warranty

[@jaydibernardo4320]

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

[@herlegz6969]

Happy holidays and thanks for the gift of a bimmer review! A Porsche review will certainly be coming soon I hope. The 2 is quite a smile making joy machine, and the upper echelon models are incredible, but all truly owe there greatness to such a phenomenal core platform. Stay awesome in '22 and may you enjoy more great rides for us to enjoy vicariously! I sure hope a bmw 135 project car is still catching your attention.

[@nde-mt2yc]

Merry Christmas, Not happy woke holidays...

[@traelz]

I am really loving the new BMWs. Nicely done, Sarah!

[@wayneparker9394]

Merry Christmas Sarah from Hobart Tasmania Australia. Love watching your videos.

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

Ya know for a reviewer they picked the right one with Sarah as the narrator. 🤣💯

[@cnorton1us]

Merry Christmas Sarah! This car seems like the kind of car BMW used to make all the time: a fun, good performing car that uses technology to improve the driving experience, not just to fill in a long list of bells & whistles. The only thing it's missing is a quick shifting manual, but those are quickly becoming extinct. I hope you can take a little time to visit friends and/or family for the holidays!

[@leoardon2031]

Good day Shara and merry Christmas🌲🌲🌲🌲my daughter loves when you show your penguins

[@courtneyricks500]

Love BMW, no particular reason. Thank you for the review.

[@wurlycorner]

Your little cheesy grin and wave from the back seat in this one. Love it! 😂 No-one does such a brilliant blend of fantastic, detailed knowledgeable car review with hugely imaginative, always varied humour as you.

[@mrwest5552]

@wurlyone4685 - agree - so many positive descriptors, Like 👍

[@azarahwagner2749]

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Sarah, Enjoyed the video and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your service. You and Charlie have a safe and Merry Christmas.

[@LockieNZ]

I think that has to be one of the only braking tests that started with a "Ooooo" and didn't end with a "Jeez!"

[@olivierdevries01]

Here's a Fun Fact for you. The reason the transmission fluid is lifetime is because BMW considers the "lifetime" of their transmission to be only 100,000 miles. So if you make it there without changing the fluid, mission accomplished!

[@JustAnumbr]

That’s also why oil change intervals are so long on many new vehicles. The manufacturer only cares about parts surviving the warranty period.

[@michaeldrexler2784]

The manufacturer of the transmission ZF, says to change the transmission fluid and filter at 50,000 miles. The reason for BMW's one year, 12000 mile oil change is because they pay for the first 3 oil changes.

[@andrewhornfeck7421]

Ahh… Active Pengi in this review, riding into the pic then causing Sarah to reach hi to keep ‘em safe! Another “active” shot included the grill shutters for just a m-sec 👍🎅🎄 Merry Christmas!! 🎄

[@Gman450a1]

Thanks for the review. Have a Merry Christmas from Ottawa, Canada.

[@dennisperri6658]

Did you notice how the grill opened and closed while you were revving the engine?

[@BestOfTate23]

Just bought one with an m sport package in the thundernight metallic i’m so excited! Get to drive it home tomorrow it will be my first ever car at 23

[@davidjamgochian]

Merry Christmas!!🍾Happy New Year!!

[@ws7609]

That active component on the exhaust is used to heat up the catalytic converter quicker. It closes off half of the exhaust till it warms up the converter then opens.

[@tracye9297]

I have finally figured out the English to metric conversion. Now I have to figure out the penguin to Rabbit conversion. Or maybe you can just post them both like you do with the metric- English comparisons.

[@roymurray6374]

Notification while watching the latest Emelia....sorry Emelia gotta pause to watch the local creator.😁 Happy Friday Christmas Edition Sarah!!! Stay excellent!!!😎

[@kentdavis7754]

Merry Christmas Sarah and Butters!!!

[@pizzagogo6151]

Always thought your were extremely appealing ...but now I’ve heard you say “Al-u-minium” I’ve now upgraded you to awesome. 😁. Thank you for your hard work & content for this year & best wishes for the new year...

[@drumflip1253]

Just bought one 230I Msport xdrive. Beautiful car, Fun, quick, handles like it’s on rails and surprising great MPG usually around 35-38 on the highway.

[@traceyharris2573]

Finally ... a BMW review! The fill plug for the ZF 8HP is directly above the lifetime fluid label. I just did fluid and pan/filter replacement on two of these. Wonderful transmissions!

[@edzinator8499]

the sensor on the rear diff is part of the dynamic stabilization and if disconnected the speedometer will not read

[@ericdupont1326]

Merry Christmas Sarah

[@luctardif8444]

Merry Christmas Sarah. Have a good holiday season!

[@stoicxmusic]

I ordered an m240i last week. Can't wait till March.

[@FeartheCyr611]

Absolutely LOVE your mechanical reviews! Merry Christmas beautiful Sarah!

[@cadmando18]

I think this will be one of those cars we look back on in 10 years that is popular with the mod crowd and fun for a track car. Kind of like the E36 and E46. I have owned both, I have had E30s, E36, E35M3, and E46 on track. I like the continuation of that trend.

[@ChristopherHelgerson]

great review Sarah, I've always enjoyed your review process.

[@bsmirnov]

1:48 That is an adorable little... spring 🤨 Finding beauty in unexpected places, indeed. 🙃 Merry Christmas, Sarah! 🎄

[@Grunt49]

Good Christmas 🎄 present! Smiling happy Sarah

[@MarcelvanderWerfSpain]

I rarely comment on KZbin, but that was a great review Sarah. Straight and to the point. Like a turbocharged Doug DeMuro. Maybe do a 2 minute "quirks and features" part in your videos, ;-)

[@archmagexiv]

Thank you Sarah!

[@daveseddon5227]

Hello, shop-dwelling Sarah - great review. Hope you've at least got Christmas day off! Merry Christmas! 🙂🙃🙂🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

[@muiruri_ke]

A detailed review, thank you. There is nothing like lifetime fluid. We learned the hard way with Subaru CVT.

[@JayLepisto]

You can only be comfy one way and having a wedgie is not part of it! Loved this review. Especially the undercarriage pan and close up shots of all the componentry. Thanks for all the joy and excitement you have given me throughout the year. I have enjoyed becoming a Sarahnista or Tunie. Have a great Christmas season and then send it in the New Year!

[@great_deception]

Great videos, great videos she makes. Unlike 80% of the dude car reviews, they don't push their opinions into the reviews. This woman is objective, you must value that in today's day and age.

[@brandonsanders9674]

I want to give you a big hug Sarah, Merry Christmas!🎄🎆✨

[@ibpositivemostly7437]

Cool video thanks I had a vintage BMW motorcycle back in the day an 1969 R69S. I am glad you know how to pronounce Aluminum 😃.

[@raullasvegas]

Great review, and lookin classy. Merry Christmas Sarah

[@parlance.electricco]

4:00 ZF are the manufacturer of BMW transmissions and they state oil and filter changes at 60,000 miles. It's a replacement sump that has a filter embedded within it. Should run $500 or thereabouts with the oil included.

[@kirkreusch8415]

Great content as usual. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.

[@garymatulis8367]

Hi Sarah - So enjoyed this review and am happy you have done a BMW model. Some trivia... I was in the Air Force many years before you but, I also was in Germany. Stationed at Bitburg Air Base - Auto Pilot Tech on F4's. Where were you and what was your tech field? And, for a final note, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! You were beautiful as always!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, happiness and beauty once again!!!

[@mikesrandomvidz5844]

Worth looking at! I picked up a 2022 230i MSport in Thundernight Metallic. Got the M2 in my back pocket for later, but I’m going to enjoy this 230i and all it’s glory for about the next 8-12 months before I ever receive this mystic M2. Sarah, I’ll let ya know when the M2 is ready for a date together, haha! And thanks for your service! Air Force retired myself, back in 2019 and couldn’t be happier just playing with cars most days now.
