Many people are put off because it is FWD. But think about it, many people can not afford 4wd, and 4wd causes increased fuel consumption, more components that can break, and increased weight. Rear wheel drive are useless in northen countries, but front wheel drive are quite good on snow because of the engine weight over the front wheels. In many cases for normal driving you do not need 4wd during the winter if you have front wheel drive. Okay, i can agree that front wheel drive cars are "boring" if you want to play around and do drifting, but how often will ordinary people drive like that? Nice car by the way!

hi there! Interesting video! I just been yesterday at the dealer and tried for the first time 118i model because I want to change my old golf mk5 from 2006. I have to say-this is incredible rocket! Completely different world. Solid interior. Btw guy told me the digital cockpit changed depends begging or late 2020. If he was right...Just a view questions: satnav zooming to show you which lane to drive? indicators flashing like standards or flashing to the sides? I didn't know the led lights are only option. I though is standard. Greetings, Tom.

Honestly, what a beautifull and agressive looking spec. Especially from the back end. The black color with those bi-color rims, the only thing it needs is the more sportier rear spoiler.

[@MrFabinsky]

It’s funny how different is the reaction to this car in other countries compared to Italy, italians simply say that this car is a big fail and they despise the design and mostly the front-wheel drive, as an Italian and as an owner of the previous model, I’d say that this model is obviously a step forward regarding technology and safety, I still prefer the previous design except for the rear, in terms of driving experience I can’t judge, but I reckon that at least for the smaller engine versions that wouldn’t be that much of a difference.

[@crospotter13]

Well believe me in my country (Croatia) you can also hear a lot of these comments. The thing is - people who talk that probably didn’t even try any of those 2 models so it’s funny. Truth is that the car is great looking, it drives very well and as you said in smaller engine versions you don’t feel the difference, the new one even has much much better driving postition (drove then back to back, this and 2019 model). So big thumb up for the car from me 😀

@@crospotter13 novi m135i vozi točno kao golf R. X drive je isti sustav kao u VW grupaciji. Klasični haldex. Prednji pogon sa povremenim zadnjim. Čak su stavili i tipične dimenzije guma za VW grupaciju, 235/40-18 na sva 4 kotača i to na m performance verziji. Bmw nikada nije koristio te dimenzije. Nažalost dizajn je jedno ali vozne karakteristike nisu niti do koljena starom m140ix modelu.

Hi there! In your opinion between BMW 118i M Pack vs Mercedes A200 AMG Line what would you go for? And why? Cheers

[@crospotter13]

it's a tough one :) So BMW is more of a driver's car, feel when you go for more sporty ride is better. But Mercedes has much more advanced infotainment with more options, better voice command, more impressive ambient lights etc. Speaking about exterior both look good but I prefer BMW's look. In the end I would go for the BMW because of the driving part, but I do think that Mercedes is more advanced car when we speak about tech. So it's a matter of personal taste - what do you want more? :)

[@jaeqfojq]

@@crospotter13 thanks for answering

[@1theblacksheep]

No Doubt, I would go for BMW, The interior of the Mercedes is fancier, I drove both... The Mercedes Wheel seems to be too light, I didn't like it at all. I will buy the BMW, I`m just wondering which packages should I buy, I am looking for a 118i and 120i and comparing both and playing with the packages to get not so expensive in the end.

Mixed feelings about the rear exterior design, but overall it's a beautiful car, especially in person. I have to say, that interior is WAY better than any competition right now, especially the new Golf Gti, which looks terrible inside.

[@fakamada]

Same goes for A3 also. At first you see some nice proportions but overall A3 is very far away from being aesthetic. It is like a robot with no feelings. Also material quality is dead with the current gen A3. 1 Series kills it simply.

And I saw you have on the left lever the button for high beam assistant is this an optional or the car comes out like this? Thank you very much 😊😊😊

[@crospotter13]

It’s the standard front assist & lane assist. Speaking about the high beams - when I turn them on it’s just on/off option, I don’t get the automatic high beams logo on the dashboard (video of the LED lights demonstration during the night will be live next week on the channel so stay tuned 😀), so not sure why that leaver has the automatic high beams logo... 🧐

[@francescofracasso7169]

crospotter13 Thanks a lot 😍 you’ve been very very kind and very exhaustive with your answer 😊😊 Well I think the high beam button on the left lever is there because the car is equipped with the hardware of that function but BMW gives you the possibility to buy it online on BMW connected drive via the app in the car infontainment.
