Love the content dude, but just a small critique if I may. When you do short comparisons like these between another car and your own, instead of just saying "I think I'd still choose X car because.." you could maybe list a couple of things that you like better about your own car and then list a couple of things you like better about the car you are testing. It's still quick and would give a better overall picture of your thoughts. Keep'em coming!
CupraBoss yeah bro RWD is fun as fuck but there’s a thin line between fun and crashing your car. Snow and ice is a no go on that but the Quattro would do good in it.
As a M135i owner, the 235 looks so much better, the driving experience must be the same, exhaust noises etc. Also the understatement as you said is key, funny when you put your foot down and people are left gobsmacked as they thought it was a 116i or something.
Funny you mention that people pull up to the S3 and want to race and with the M235 you didnt get that feeling. Its much the opposite here in the US and one of many reasons I went with the S3. I have/had a 2013 S4 and no one bothered me, but when I had my BMW M everyone and their mother seemed to want 3 beeps. We appreciate your videos and your friends cars to.
I really didn't think I was going to enjoy the video but watched it anyway. I was wrong. Great vid, honest and entertaining. You're a likeable guy and I like your positive attitude. Keep it up bro !
I have to agree with you, i sold my tuned M135i because it sucked when it was wet or cold outside, no grip whatsoever up to 100km/h. Now i have an tuned RS3 and loving it :)
Very nice, a tuned RS3 must be a total monster! These M135i/M235i's are great cars but the grip is definitely something i'd be concerned about in bad conditions, good to hear from someone who made the change over 👍🏼
I have that Canon G7X and it literally sees in the dark. The difference between your regular camera is so apparent, especially the stabilisation. Oh! If it's the Sony RX they have the same lens.
Can’t wait to get an M240i next year, I’m gonna wait till their value drops a bit and snatch the best one. Hopefully I can find a Mineral Grey with Red interior.
The camera is all good geeza picture and sound is quality.. another good video although when I first read the title I didn't read it all and thought you had permanently swapped the S3 for an M235i lol
Haha now that would have been an interesting turn of events if it was permanent lol! And glad you found the picture/sound quality good, might keep it as the low light performance is crazy
Thanks pal, 235i really does sound great. And I know right, it was such a shame, he revved it and I thought he was going to floor it, next thing you know the cars given up.
I have the m240i. I think your assessment of the car's character is spot on: it's more of a GT car than a focused 'hot-hatch': and I can understand why you might prefer the s3. Enjoyed the vid, thanks.
Nice video, you seen like a good guy too. The M235i does have good handling. Sometimes when it steps out because I have taken a corner to quick the car recovers itself as long as you come off the power. The handling is pretty good and you can have some fun with the rear end especially coming out of corners or in the wet.
As a BMW(s) driver since 2004 after owning VW/Audi & Honda/Acuras, I use to say Audi=dressed-up VW & Acura=dressed-up Honda ...HOWEVER, with the new generation F30 and the rest, it seams the Bavarian's folks found a way to make the new Bimmers cheaper, with a "snap-together" feel like never before - unless you go all out with a M versions which tend to cover that up these weakness with their brutal force! So lately you can FEEL and SEE that Audi (forget Acura) have a more solid-build feel to them even tho they still lack the dynamics. My MAJOR dilemma - I want a 4-door! M235 'pocket-rocket' ...but not that Hatch'y thing they have in Europe.
Please give us more information, like which did you feel was faster, more comfortable, insulation from road noise, interior quality, MPG. I know you are still new to these stuff and i hope success for you :)
such a nice looking and sounding beemer (I don't say that often) owner seems a top fella too. bet you were gutted with a little shower to bring out the grease from the tarmac though. I'm definitely happy to see more too.
How do you like the BMW compared to the 2013 s4. I like the s4 has manual. But I love both cars. I'm sure the BMW cost more to fix and mantain. What are your thoughts?
Been watching your videos since you got the S3 and watched everyone keep them up! Just picked up mine on Tuesday and can't stop driving it..I've noticed that the dsg 'burp' doesn't seem as loud as yours tho? Is that just because in the car it's not that loud or is there certain settings?
+jack w Awesome mate glad you're enjoying the videos! Congrats on the car, check to see if the car is in dynamic and you should get that loud bang, also make sure you're giving it full throttle 👍🏼
Funny what you said about people always wanting to race you in your S3 but not the 235I cause of its normal looks. I've had an 420D for the last 3 years and everyday someone is up my arse for no reason.
Loving your videos man. Your review layouts are dam near perfect, you're gonna go far man. I will be swapping my Focus ST for a Golf R DSG in a few months. Cant wait for those DSG bangs ;)
Not to sure about the camera, keeps blurring over the speedometer occasionally. for some reason? 🤣great review sounds decent. No match for an RS3 or A45 though. 🔥
Good vid bro!! Bit embarassing for M4 owners though!!! What do you think of the instrument binnacle on the BMW? I could be quite happy with it but I still think the S3 (with analogue dials as in mine) beats it hands down!! Suggestion time - how about a little intro for each video, you know what I mean, revving engines and the like!!!😆 All the best!!
Thanks bro! Yeah it was a shame about that M4. BMW instrument cluster was cool, very clear. This one did have the black panel display so you get the little screen at the bottom so that helped. Hoping to make a intro soon, its been on my to-do list for a few weeks now!
Haha.. M4 got shook of you bro.. Unless he ran out of petrol... Or it was hired an he ragging it too much an the owners were tracking it an turned it off...
seifyboy2832 yeah they can, if it's a rental an the driver has been ragging it they can turn it of where ever they want.. If it's got tracker on it they can see the speeds your doing..
M235i has a bit more top end, peak power around 5.8k, can really feel the power building. When comparing with S3 in the real world you won't notice it too much though, S3 has very good traction.
my s3 can currently destroy m235i off the line, rolling usually depends on simply who puts how much money into the car. my s3 currently runs 365 whp on an extremely reliable tune but looking to build my engine and do e85 to see 500 and above!
Hope you guys enjoyed this first impressions/PoV driving video! Let me know if you'd like to see more of this car in future content 👍🏼
TR Hamza let me know Bro if you want to do a video on a tuned R35 GTR 😉
Love the content dude, but just a small critique if I may. When you do short comparisons like these between another car and your own, instead of just saying "I think I'd still choose X car because.." you could maybe list a couple of things that you like better about your own car and then list a couple of things you like better about the car you are testing. It's still quick and would give a better overall picture of your thoughts.
Keep'em coming!
TR Hamza i prefer the rs3
A brand new bmw broken down in the middle of the street haha so typicak. Audi anyday
Your headlights were off all the video dude :D
m235i anyday
Love the S3 but also love the fact that the 235i is a RWD just offers more fun in my opinion
Enjoyed both, good for their own purposes, S3 just a bit more aggressive imo.
He didn't say sound, as a whole package.
I have too, the BMW has more finesse than the Audi which is more chuckable.
Are RWD okay? Only thing that ever put me off them is winter driving in the UK I imagine u are wrestling just to get it home?
CupraBoss yeah bro RWD is fun as fuck but there’s a thin line between fun and crashing your car. Snow and ice is a no go on that but the Quattro would do good in it.
can we do a car swap got a Micra 1.0 naturally aspirated so no turbo lag great video by the way
Thanks! And yeah man ofcourse, it would make a good video I think
+TR Hamza I'm just going to one up this guy and offer you a shot of my beast of a 1.2L Micra K12. It's faster than your S3 if you're going slow ;)
Hamza you're doing great with these videos, you're so underrated and over all down to earth, keep it up bro ! 👊
Thank you bro 👊🏼 very nice of you, will keep it up!
The M235i and M240i are very underrated cars! Straight line speed there isn’t much difference between the M240 and the M2!
As a M135i owner, the 235 looks so much better, the driving experience must be the same, exhaust noises etc. Also the understatement as you said is key, funny when you put your foot down and people are left gobsmacked as they thought it was a 116i or something.
Nah, dude, it may be faster but the M135 is the OG, ill take that car before any M240. Its such a sexy car and you don't see many all.
Funny you mention that people pull up to the S3 and want to race and with the M235 you didnt get that feeling. Its much the opposite here in the US and one of many reasons I went with the S3. I have/had a 2013 S4 and no one bothered me, but when I had my BMW M everyone and their mother seemed to want 3 beeps. We appreciate your videos and your friends cars to.
I really didn't think I was going to enjoy the video but watched it anyway. I was wrong. Great vid, honest and entertaining. You're a likeable guy and I like your positive attitude. Keep it up bro !
Nice job :-) Like the way you blanked the mph ;-)
Love this guys humble approach also knows his stuff about cars!! Keep going akhhh
Why weren't your lights on? Your day times where on but didn't seem like you had the main beams on
Best video yet mate, really well done!
Awesome mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Quality video man, big fan of your videos!
+Adnaan Seedat Thanks man glad you enjoy them!
I wanna say something nice today. You brother are very talented in making vlogs.
Can you do a vlog on running cost on S3, BMW and if possible Golf R.
+Rahmen Danel Thank you for the kind words brother 👍🏼 Will do a video on running costs soon hopefully
Haha😂...you kill me. “I actually feel bad for him” you probably do but your laugh was funny.
I have to agree with you, i sold my tuned M135i because it sucked when it was wet or cold outside, no grip whatsoever up to 100km/h. Now i have an tuned RS3 and loving it :)
Very nice, a tuned RS3 must be a total monster! These M135i/M235i's are great cars but the grip is definitely something i'd be concerned about in bad conditions, good to hear from someone who made the change over 👍🏼
TheFrankybody rs3 8p or rs3 8v ?
TheFrankybody I've m135i ewg looking into mods, what mods did you have bro?
M240i xdrive is awesome. Had one for a month now and its a monster yet stealth at the same time.
Love the videos. Keep them coming. Mad respect for keeping both hands on the wheel...you'd be surprised ✌️
Glad you're enjoying them, will keep them coming 👍🏼 And yeah so many take the risk, just not worth it especially when you want to enjoy the drive
I have that Canon G7X and it literally sees in the dark. The difference between your regular camera is so apparent, especially the stabilisation. Oh! If it's the Sony RX they have the same lens.
Great video and love how you seem to be taking quality content seriously with not calling it a 'review' unless you mean it. One more sub for you :)
+James Stanley Thank you mate :) Glad you appreciate the fact I mentioned it's not a review, so many overlook it and assume they're all review videos!
Can’t wait to get an M240i next year, I’m gonna wait till their value drops a bit and snatch the best one. Hopefully I can find a Mineral Grey with Red interior.
The camera is all good geeza picture and sound is quality.. another good video although when I first read the title I didn't read it all and thought you had permanently swapped the S3 for an M235i lol
Haha now that would have been an interesting turn of events if it was permanent lol! And glad you found the picture/sound quality good, might keep it as the low light performance is crazy
like the content keeps getting better keep it up!
Thanks!
Keep it up fella.... Good job, love the sound of the 235i. Shame about that M4 and like the POV Seen Through Glass style filming
Thanks pal, 235i really does sound great. And I know right, it was such a shame, he revved it and I thought he was going to floor it, next thing you know the cars given up.
I have the m240i. I think your assessment of the car's character is spot on: it's more of a GT car than a focused 'hot-hatch': and I can understand why you might prefer the s3. Enjoyed the vid, thanks.
Bro carry on with the vids! Loving them! 👊🏼 you should also do some old German sports cars, like old S3's compared to the new one
Thank you bro hoping to continue them 👍🏼 And yeah that would be cool, I'll add it to the list!
You're welcome bro! You should do a small mixed car meet! I'll be happy to travel down to brum not got a super car but got a merc 👊🏼
keep doing what you're doing bro. you deserve much more subscribers!
Cemali Gunduz Thank you bro! Will keep at it 👍🏼
Great videos bro! Keep it going! Loving it!
Thank you bro will do!
Should do a comparison video, 235i and your m2
Interesting one 👌🏼
Nice video, you seen like a good guy too. The M235i does have good handling. Sometimes when it steps out because I have taken a corner to quick the car recovers itself as long as you come off the power. The handling is pretty good and you can have some fun with the rear end especially coming out of corners or in the wet.
Whats the camera you are using mate ? Looks pretty good in the low light
"HE BROKE DOWN HAHAH, nah guys I don't find it funny, I feel sorry for him (haha)" you joker man!
Loving the m235i the great sound of an inline 6 👌
+Supercars in England Does sound great doesn't it!
Cool video and good work with the PoV part.
Thank you mate
Also that new camera is great 👍
good vid rear drive does give more feel than all wheel drive but when the weather gets bad you do get tested.
Thanks, I agree 👍🏼
Great visual....steady and hi-def!
Mashallah good video Brv
Nice POV angles too
Nice one bro 👍🏼

This cars exhausts been modified, it’s sounds crazyyyyy now man
No denying you are a genuinely cool guy with good views I like.
+Angelo E Thank you mate, appreciated 👍🏼
The sound is a killer
Great job once again
Thanks pal
Got a 2016 for 31k with 11k miles. Great value. Plenty of car for the enthusiast and handles like a e46 m3.
You're vids are decent uno. Been watching for the past few weeks
Thank you mate
Your channel is gonna blow up anytime soon.
Hopefully mate :)
What would you think about an x-drive beemer? I’m just wondering because I like Audi bit recently I’ve been looking at BMW.
Love the video. Nice car😁. Keep it up bro
Thanks bro 👍🏼 Will do!
TR Hamza No problem 😀😀
So far, this car is awesome.
Great video Hamza
Thank you mate
Doing a great job keep it up camera is brill keep on using
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback 👍🏼
Hazma is so strong, that when he is behind a car, it breaks.
M4 ran out of petrol deffo.
such a nice looking and sounding beemer (I don't say that often) owner seems a top fella too.
bet you were gutted with a little shower to bring out the grease from the tarmac though.
I'm definitely happy to see more too.
How do you like the BMW compared to the 2013 s4. I like the s4 has manual. But I love both cars. I'm sure the BMW cost more to fix and mantain. What are your thoughts?
New camera is really nice, what is it?
Love the vids, especially as a fellow Brummy!
Thank you mate! Yeah gotta get good old Brum on the map haha!
Great video! Which camera did you used for this video!? Sound? Thanks!
Love this channel
Hey bro which has the best stock exhaust. Bmw M240i,Audi S3 or Mercedes Amg Cla 35
Hamza would you have swapped the s3 for the 235i? Im looking at buying 240i or s3 sportback but I'm not sure which would be easier to live with.
BMW interiors are nasty. I'd have the S3 any day.
depends if you're in to interiors or driving i guess. Audi's are a posers car, bimmers are drivers cars
Love ur vids bro
+Hasan S thank you bro
Been watching your videos since you got the S3 and watched everyone keep them up! Just picked up mine on Tuesday and can't stop driving it..I've noticed that the dsg 'burp' doesn't seem as loud as yours tho? Is that just because in the car it's not that loud or is there certain settings?

Nice video. So are you using a Sony Rx100 Mark 5 camera?
Can you do a video on a BMW 340i xdrive. Thx.
What camera is it? Looks class
My blk 2011 335i would own both cars!!
are you guys traders? just wondering how you sort insurance swapping cars with each other but sounds cool trying the different cars.....
Car sounds great, Very impressed - Keep the vids coming
I enjoy my M235 a lot
Ramadan Mubarak bro, I have a Dinan Stage 3 m235i...I will add some videos soon:)
Hmmm nice wideo bro.. Hmm I can't imagine how the M2 drives.. Camera is fine bro..
Thank you bro and yeah M2 must be crazy!
Loving your videos man. Your review layouts are dam near perfect, you're gonna go far man.
I will be swapping my Focus ST for a Golf R DSG in a few months. Cant wait for those DSG bangs ;)
+Russ Clarke Thanks man really appreciate the kind words 🙌🏼 And you made a good choice, those DSG bangs are so addictive!
Hey whats the average fuel consumption between audi s2 and bmw m235i?Does audi gets a bit better?
s3*
Not to sure about the camera, keeps blurring over the speedometer occasionally. for some reason? 🤣great review sounds decent. No match for an RS3 or A45 though. 🔥
LOL
Good video mate! Quick question if you don't mind answering obviously... is this on finance or lease?
ExpectBass my drilla lol your about
Good vid bro!! Bit embarassing for M4 owners though!!! What do you think of the instrument binnacle on the BMW? I could be quite happy with it but I still think the S3 (with analogue dials as in mine) beats it hands down!! Suggestion time - how about a little intro for each video, you know what I mean, revving engines and the like!!!😆 All the best!!

Yea Defo swap back bro!! 🙄
Another great vid though, really enjoying ur stuff👍
Haha thank you bro! Swapped back now its all good :)
Jesús Christ no sleep here 🙄
Exhaust is nice.
Well done!
Haha.. M4 got shook of you bro.. Unless he ran out of petrol... Or it was hired an he ragging it too much an the owners were tracking it an turned it off...
Benny One can they really turn the car off like that?
seifyboy2832 yeah they can but the car need to be stopped in traffic or parked,it also requires police authorisation...so usually used for stolen cars
seifyboy2832 yeah they can, if it's a rental an the driver has been ragging it they can turn it of where ever they want.. If it's got tracker on it they can see the speeds your doing..
Haha, he revved it once and then all you see is hazard lights. Thought he was gonna launch 😂
Is the m235i a lot faster than the S3 in a straight line? A lot of people seem to think it is for some reason, what are your thoughts bro
M235i has a bit more top end, peak power around 5.8k, can really feel the power building. When comparing with S3 in the real world you won't notice it too much though, S3 has very good traction.
Always going to the top of that car park in town for the intro ey
Only place that looks good for night videos lol
TR Hamza yeah true, every time I see a black S3 around brum I check to see if it's you loool
Why did you block the speed dial
Had a heart attack until i saw the last line of the video title 😂
Hope I didn't give you too much of a shock bro 😂
TR Hamza nah it's all good i was just exaggerating 😂
Nice blanking out of the speedo. 😂😂😂
what camera?
So get the M235xi. (AWD) Can get it as a convertible too.
+DFKnightmare I live in the UK, xDrive is not available on the M235i here
Video is ok but there was a lot of wind noise. I have the M235i but never driven the S3
Was man driving without his headlights on throughout the drive?
How is it that I see videos of the S3 keeping up with the M235i despite it having less horsepower?
all wheel drive chief
my s3 can currently destroy m235i off the line, rolling usually depends on simply who puts how much money into the car. my s3 currently runs 365 whp on an extremely reliable tune but looking to build my engine and do e85 to see 500 and above!
Auto feels much faster than the man..
Love how hes just doing laps around my uni XD
9:02 big up bristol road // brum ahaha
Is that morrisons solihull carpark? :p
Bro what camera is it?
