This is the best evaluation and POV video I’ve ever watched. You’ve presented the vehicle in a straightforward, unbiased way, without any commentary or personal evaluations. All the essential details are covered, both during the day and at night. Thank you!
Eindelijk heb ik de beste video over de nieuwe BMW 1 serie gevonden. Geen gezeik over dit en dat, gewoon een goede en simpele video over exterieur, interieur en verschillende manieren van rijden. Ik ben van plan om BMW 120 te kopen, BMW is mijn stijl, deze diesel auto is voordeliger ivm belasting enz. op onze bedrijf dan een benzine of elektrische wagen. Het is ook een handig auto voor in steden en perfecte vervanger van mijn VW Polo.
Great review, thanks. Does anyone know if it is possible to turn on manually the front fog lights ? It's a led in each front light housing that faces at the side. When I test drove the car I only found a switch to turn on the rear fog lights.
I own an F40 118i sport line . I bought it in 2023 and i have only 11000km. It's amazing. I don"t know if i should change it to the F70.What's your opinion?
Overall this new 1 series is a great car. I had high expectations and it certainly didn’t disappoint. What I liked: beautiful car, steers very light, many high end options such as seat massage, many driving assistance systems, comfortable seats, short turning circle. What I didn’t like: infotainment is a bit slow and laggy, trunk is on the small side, legroom is not ideal, engine is not super responsive in the low revs. Overall I would certainly recommend buying this car. However previous generation of this car was already a great car and the improvement of this generation is not life changing, so I guess there’s no rush in immediately changing cars
Is it a BMW? 🤔👀🤦😝😝😝🤣🤣🤣🤣 If the Chinese had decided to fake it, then 100% they would have succeeded-it would have been better! There's only one BMW nameplate.
Don't blame BMW for this, it's unfortunately the European regulation that force carmaker to do this. But beside, it''s still a good car best 3 cilinder engines you can have.
Unfortunately only this is model looks like true bmw, 4 and 5 series just disgusting 8 series very big and back side looks not beautiful, it’s crap now only Porsche good if you are looking good coupe model. Or need buy use bmw past generation

Thank you for the positive feedback. Glad you liked it
I like it, this is truly the baby of the BMW models, but it still being fairly capable is really cool to see

It feels quite lively, the 3 cylinder engine! How is the ride?
I like the engine, however in the low revs it lacks a bit of responsiveness
Nice vídeo!! How's the HUD Augmented reality function? Is it useful? Thks!!
is the steering just as heavy as the 118i ?
Your review amamzing thanks good filmed
Thx for the positive feedback
Nice video! is the chassis okay? or is it sometimes too hard and uncomfortable to drive?
No it’s comfortable ride
Great content! Thank you for showing ust the car. Really helps with making a decision. Did the boost function improved your 0-100km/h? Thanks :)
Yes, it made a difference, like between half a second to quarter of a second faster
This is just what I was looking for exelent video. When you did the acceleration test was that fully auto or were you using the paddels?
Fully auto
My Dream car❤️

great review! is it me or was the touchscreen laggy when you were changing modes at night?
Yes the touchscreen was a bit laggy from time to time. Not only when changing driving modes
Very good presentation! What is your height please?
Thank you. I’m 1m80cm
What is your heigth?
I'm 1m80. It was a bit tight in the back, but still good enough
Is there the ambient light in the door too?
A bit yes
Not as before unfortunately
Only 3-Zylinders? Shame on you. Better an electric Car.
I Drive BMW sice 1993.
patetic 3 cylinder, 1,5 motor, car is so empty, they cut cost all but incresed price
just a boring soulless car in my opinion. thanks for the review though, well made.

There's only one BMW nameplate.
Lieber einen Kia Ceed kaufen ordentlicher Motor und billiger.
3 cylinder crap 🤮
So?
It’s actually a very well designed engine - easily one of the best 3 cylinder engines on the market.
@@jamesspacer7994 maybe, but still very poor on power. I wish bmw made 3 cylinder engines like Toyota does on their Yaris gr and Corolla gr
Don't blame BMW for this, it's unfortunately the European regulation that force carmaker to do this. But beside, it''s still a good car best 3 cilinder engines you can have.
