I get my hands on the brand new BMW 1 series, more specifically the 118i. I soon realise this little (slightly odd looking) hatch is rather compelling and makes a strong case for itself over the previous fun but compromised F series 1.
This video was literally shot in 30 mins, time and weather were against me so please excuse the quality of the video!

The 118i feels better and makes sense because this is the spec the new 1-series was designed for.. The 135i has no real right to exist anymore now the biggest fun factors (6-cylinder and RWD) are removed for that enthousiasts version.. Now It's just a hot hatch that offers nothing special anymore over it's competitors..

The M135i was positioned to compete against the Golf R and Audi S3. Those are not the most exciting cars either. The new M2 coupe will be still RWD + 6 cil powered and will be the new compact beast. Which is fine by me.

Hi Joe, happened that I own a F20 118i and a Mini Cooper, both with the same engine, here mi thoughts. Transmission, the mini cooper has the same tranny as the F40 118i, 7 speed DCT from GETRAG and the F20 118i has the ZF8 and I can feel how different they are, the kick down in the DCT is slower and the ZF feels punchier and smooth. Drive, recently took the entry level F20 118i with same B38 engine and ZF-8 in a hill climb road trip, and let me say that driving fast a slow car is very fun, with all nannies off and sport mode engaged I can feel how the rear moves and “dance” trough the corners, the car turns beautifully and flow in the winding roads as natural as it can be. Same drive with the mini cooper same engine but 7 speed DCT, also feel fun but different, the mini cooper “hug” trough the corners and grips very tight, no dance no flow just grip and grab the tarmac, fun, yes but different from the RWD 118i with the same engine. So even the entry level F20 118i with RWD and ZF-8 brings a great driving experience from my perspective.

The ZF 8-speed also has a lag, when you press the gas pedal right after you have just stopped pressing the brake pedal to slow down, it is not 2-3 second lag, but it is noticeable (maybe 0,5sec). Nevertheless, the ZF is a fantastic gearbox.

The 118i makes sense.... but having had a e87 118d with a stage 1 map previous to my mk5 GTI... I can confirm that without doubt the 118i had more thrill and fun factor to it other than the engine... it was fun, had good steering, excellent driving position and the rear wheel feel... that can’t be beaten... my mk5 GTI doesn’t give me the same thrill. Yes it’s faster, yes it sounds better and yes it grips way more but it doesn’t have the thrill a 118d with a power hike gave me... perosnally
@mikedelicus
@mikedelicus 4 жыл бұрын
I think the most thrill factor of older BMWs is the hydraulic servo steering and they had a rougher suspension too in basic versions. I was really shocked switching from a 150hp E46 to a F20 125d with basic suspension, I find the new one very boring to drive, also the steering is very fluffy. Don't expect the old dynamic drive feel on modern BMWs. If you buy a new one make a test drive for checking out if you need a performance package for the fun factor.

I guess BMW will finally find out what percentage of 1-series buyers bought them because they were good to drive, and what percentage bought them because of the BMW badge ;) The first car I bought with my own money was a 2004 BMW 120i - it was the best new-ish rear wheel drive car I could afford, and it got me hooked on the BMW brand. I don't think these new cars will have the same pull on young buyers who actually enjoy driving... assuming such people still exist?

BMW have done the research and found that something like 70-80% of 1 series drivers didn't even release that their car war RWD and most of the rest didn't care. Only 3% of 1 series sold have been M135/M140i models and even some of those folks aren't RWD fanatics. So BMW figured that 97% of 1 series owners would prefer more cabin and boot space rather than a car that losses traction in the winter.I love my M135i but my driveway is on a slope as soon as there is even a light smattering of snow i'm stuck it will not even nearly get up the drive but my daughters FWD Leon Cupra will breeze up it no problem.

All cars cost more now. Relatively speaking it is not 1 to one but still more expensive. Caused by many things. More tech, more regulations etc. Basically the market/goverment has become more demanding. Cars need to do all that the old cars did, but better and more. All while being safer and less fuel consuming. Of course things are going to be more expensive. Also taxes. Here in The Netherlands prices are mostly based on emissions. This a well equipped 118i cas easily go above 40000 Euros or even reach 50000. An m135i starts at 60000 here. So you still have it relatively well there.

Adaptives are only option on the four cyl. models AFAIK. And yes, I also noted the delay when going full throttle in comfort mode, it was quite a disappointment bc I thought BMWs automatics were always amazing. The old 8 spd steptronic in the F20 118 certainly didnt respond so lazy. However, I found that when you put either the car in sport mode or the gearbox in S (or both) things improve a lot and its workable. Still definitely not a strongpoint tho, and I suprised me none of the reviewers noted it. The 7 DCT seems to have been developed to cut cost over the 8 speed full auto and NOT as a real improvement, and this is where it shows.. Maybe it can be fixed with new software from tuning companies??

I know you don't really like the Bridgestone runflats Joe but if they are the S001's they really are very good for a runflat. So much better than the Pirelli PZero runflats which feel as though the suspension has been removed and live up to their name under 7 or 8 degrees (and in damp conditions) by having Zero grip. I agree that the Michelin PS4's would be much better but for the average punter buying this kind of car the Bridgestone S001's do a really good job in all conditions.

You’re not sick, I’m looking at this very model for my next car, and although the looks have been slated, I actually like it, although the M Sport trim for me, is a must. It may look like a Ford Focus, but Ford’s interiors are crap, compared to the Teutonic class leaders. I even looked at the focus vignale, which is similarly priced, with the 1.5 eco boost engine. Considering the Ford’s 42 bop gain, performance is almost identical, and the interior of the beemer, is far superior. Had a 120d in 2013, and BMW’s customer service was way, way better than Fords. I know where my money is going, but each to their own and all that.

£27K with £11K options 😑 So £38K (read £40K) for an underpowered 3cyl 1.5? For comparison the 1.5 ltr 3cyl Ford EcoBoost is 210ps with 300nm. Why did you give the New A1 such a hard time? At least it has a 150hp 4-pot for £21-25K - This just feels biased again. Because it’s a BMW you seem so sympathetic... 💁🏻‍♂️

Hey Joe, I'm looking for this car long time ago, and here in Spain, we get paddles as standard with the 118i so I just think that there in the UK is not even possible to get it for some kind of reason that BMW want not to telling us. Maybe because there are some option differences.

Ahh that is strange... BMW UK say that paddles will be an option soon over here, I hope so because I missed having them 👌

Useful video. Looking at the trade-in value of 'late' previous models - they are now being hit due to this launch, (or it may be the economic climate!). I agree this looks a better proposition to the new M135i.

Style over substance - they'll sell plenty in Brighton. I drove this car for a few hours. Vibration fed back through the seat. Cornering was floaty. You get the harder ride of M Sport but surprisingly without the benefit of agile handling. In 2013 I bought a new 120d M Sport 8 speed sports auto. It was far better than this car. Agile, nippy enough (7 secs), frugal if I wanted it to be (65-70mpg on motorways). It was a great little car. The only car in the new range that may make sense is the 120d xDrive M Sport.

This version makes sense as everyday hum drum transport. I’m a BMW fan but I’d take the new A Class over this because to me this inside and out looks like every other small hatch. At least the merc has a wow factor interior and a more distinct exterior. I think I might go and take my manual m135 for a spin!
