2017 BMW 220D DRIVING POV/REVIEW // DRIVERS CAR?

[@oj7779]

Wow that conclusion about putting cars in perspective was what i needed to hear impress yourself people not others

[@qw-]

This is the most relyable 4 cyl diesel from bmw, the B47. No more timing chain issues and fuel economy is pretty good

[@zeck8812]

Oh man that clip with the seat made me howl!! So relatable! Just purchased a 420d XDrive thanks to your videos and have nothing bad to say about it!

[@sloww320d]

how has the reliability been? considering getting one

[@zeck8812]

@@sloww320d Been brilliant so far. Bought mine with about 85k on the clock and had no faults at all! A few recalls over the year but other than that *touch wood* perfect!

[@anthonymeek4248]

Thank you for the content. Been watching and enjoy the povs. Was looking at cupra 290s but this car seems like a nice in between my current car and the Seat in terms of cost/performance. Plus the mpg will be nice.

[@ruariwilson9696]

Helpful real life review, thank you. May have to reluctantly change my Euro 5 123d for Euro 6

[@DaveBartram]

Nice review, I’ve just bought a 225d and echo what you’ve said. Very pleased with it too and coming from a Scooby, Focus ST and Lotus Elise it holds its own very well.

[@sloww320d]

how is the reliabilty after a year? considering getting one

[@DaveBartram]

@@sloww320d Only issue I’ve had it with the ‘Pedestrian Protection System’ sensor failed and had to have it replaced. No issues apart from that.

[@sloww320d]

@@DaveBartram really? thats great! is yours b47 or n47? All these forums keep scaring me away from these cars

[@DaveBartram]

@@sloww320d B57, most of what I’ve read is it’s pretty bomb proof as long as the history / servicing is kept up. Mines got full BMW history so I’ve kept that up, only had one service myself so far, due another in September, will be going into the dealer again.

[@Roadwarrior92]

​@DaveBartram what year is yours on

[@yerunski]

Nice review! Now I want one. Currently the owner of a 2005 1 series. I never noticed that problem with the seat becoming loose though.

[@FragGile]

The lack of cruise control is damn near unacceptable in a 2017 BMW!

[@DryVan2]

Good review, the M-Sport interior does make the driving experience better

[@RealistJ]

Love the 2 series

[@blaz8224]

Best videos really i love them car review 10/10!!

[@MrLindizzle]

Awesome review!

[@MrEnergy13]

What can you tell now, regarding long term reliability?

[@Lemingtona-x5g]

good option to get with bmw is sunroof

[@samuelkitching8150]

What would you suggest between the 220i and the 220d in this generation what are the main differences when driving the petrol and diesel?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

good question. I'd pick the 220D over the 220i as the diesel is much punchier and faster in most cases. Also, because the diesel has a lot more torque you're able to have quite a bit more fun with the chassis. If you want to go for petrol i'd atleast go for the 230i, ideally the 240i is the one you want though, as the b58 is in another league compared to the 2.0l b48.

[@samuelkitching8150]

@@ParagonCarsLondon I would be going from a 116d so I the speed will be a jump up anyway but I was more wondering how it is to drive around B roads and how fun it is as a car

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

@@samuelkitching8150 I'd say the diesel is still more fun as it's much easier to spin up the tyres haha.

[@KP-uq3jr]

@@ParagonCarsLondoninterested to hear your opinion on 228i viewing one this week

[@tobiecharlton8572]

Great review thank you

[@Exemplifiera]

A BMW420D weighs 1550- 1575kg and a 220D weighs 1435 (add 35kg for xDrive and 25kg for automatic.). Where is the 25% weight difference you talked about at 0:05

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

It's a bit of an exaggeration. Most 420d's weigh around 1650kg and most 220d's are around 1375kg so it's more like 17%. We have seen some 4 series weighing well over 1700kg though, just depends on spec.

[@Exemplifiera]

@Paragon Cars London sounds like the 2 series should be quite alot more economical to run. How is the sound insulation between the two? I assume you've driven both. Is one more quiet or noisy than the other?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

@@Exemplifiera the 2 series is surprisingly quiet inside. i'd say it's only about 5% noisier than the 4 series, if that.

[@jangask]

what would you prefer 220d vs 420d? or maybe 220i vs 420i?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

The 220D is my favourite out of those

[@jangask]

@Paragon Cars London Right now there are / will be a lot of restriction to diesel engines... there are not a big difference in weight and size between 220 and 420 . why do you prefer? Sorry.. i am looking for a purchase one of it and i am a little confuse 😅

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

@@jangask the 2 series feels slightly sharper in the corners

[@Beatrecords2024]

You should make a review drive of a 6 series such good cars to drive

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

we sold quite a few of those about 3 years ago. I agree, brilliant cars.

[@Beatrecords2024]

Have you ever sold the old 6 series before ? Or reviewed on it ?

[@Beatrecords2024]

Hardly never see them around anymore only the new ones or 2012

[@lukanedic04]

Did anybody else saw the nissan r32 on the right side at 6:27

[@pasaroller3200]

Did you see Mclaren on the right side at 5:20

[@Beatrecords2024]

Talking about it makes me want to drive it

[@mitchiranger]

6:50 - lol 😂

[@Theferrariguy]

Have you driven the 230i version? If so what's it like?

[@ahoogamyballsackitchy]

2-3 seconds faster with a nice look with the exuast being one on each side, but the mpg is alot lower than you would get from a diesel. Sound of the engin is alot better (almost like an m2) Would recommend it if you dont mind the mpg, otherwise it’s the same car

[@pxhutch4492]

Love the vids mate, Would you take this over the golf gti for a daily?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

A tough call but i probably would yeah.

[@pxhutch4492]

@@ParagonCarsLondon wow. Fair enough mate👍🏼 cheers for the insight and reply.

[@youtubed20]

Hi, Please can you tell me if the engine is noisy or quite?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

engine is quiet for a diesel

[@mrblondre]

Is it possible to fit M performance braking kit ?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

yes it's possible.

[@mrblondre]

@@ParagonCarsLondon do you know where i can buy them ? I am looking for a brake upgrade but couldnt figure where to look at.

[@phillippschuller5590]

You can purchase all M Performance Parts at your local BMW Dealer

[@mrblondre]

@@phillippschuller5590 well i in turkey all the 220ds came with standard brakes so i can only buy 235i brakes but im not sure if they will fit in.

[@smokelessaif8697]

Does the exhaust note change when put into sport +?

[@ahoogamyballsackitchy]

Yes the valves do open but it doesnt make quite a difference but its noticeable

[@Khumry]

seat lol i know this.

[@westhamaremassivee]

Looking at these atm. I'm not sure if I should get the 220d or the 218i. Any suggestions? Thankyou

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

from driving both, definitely the 220D. It's much nicer to drive in my opinion.
