I’ve had this model for about 3 years and have just bought a new one. These are great cars and suit me. It’s been reliable. And does 46.8 miles per gallon. ❤
@@PranksandPodcasts it’s the 1.5 petrol. Drives well with the different modes. Is already doing over 40mpg. And I only done about 400 miles. Really pleased with the car.
I had the first version of this front wheel driven 118i M Sport from 2020. Absolutely wonderful car, bur the front grill was maybe a little too exaggerated and flashy in a more cartoonish than stylish way, I'd say. Especially due to it being metallic/silver. It looks very good that they made it a little smaller - or it's my eyes deceiving me due to it being black.
Bear in mind Apple maps only mirror into the digital cockpit and head up display whilst being on subscription (Initial period is 3 years, then £79 per annum)
Just got a 22 plate 118i M Sport and I love it. But then I did change from a 56 plate Ford Focus 2.0l Ghia which I had from a year old and also loved it
Spotify is one of the biggest benefit in this car for me! Have the same car but as 120i and felt in love with the build quality right at the beginning!
Main thing for me over the a class is the interior quality. A class looks premium but feels really cheap in places. Got this 1 series on my list for my next car
Hi mate! It is a great looking car! I want in two months time change my old golf mk5 from 2006 to exactly this model! I been speak with a dealer and tried one how I feel and have to say-rocket! That was actually big wow inside! that's completely different world. Have a questions. Do you know when they changed cockpit to fully digital(flat)? Some boy told me earlier 2020 have the normal gauge and late 2020 are like yours. I'm not sure if this is correct info. Anyone can proof that? Btw-indicators are dynamic or normal flashing? Side mirrors folding when you lock? And I guess you have (because M sport) heated seats and ambient lighting? Greetings from Kent, Tom.
Hi Tom! Unsure on the when things changed to a fully digital cockpit, but I’d imagine anything in late 2020 / early 2021 would have a digital cockpit. In terms of indicators, they’re normal flashing. Side mirrors fold when locking and the seats were heated with ambient lighting throughout the interior.
@@OLTAUTOMOTIVELovely! Thanks for answer. After digging deeper, one from the dealer told me all models from 2021 onwards should have this digital cockpit. I can't wait seriously...;) Cheers!.

Hi i got a question when the mirrors are folded, is the passenger mirror basically touching the window, is this normal? Asking for anybody that also has the f40
@@brianwaigi3178 unfortunately I don’t remember how the windows folded in on this one, but if the mirrors are naturally folding in that tight, I’d say it’s normal and the closer in they are the better I guess?
Ah thank you its just that on Mine the driver side mirrors fold in but not tightly but the passenger one is basically touching the passenger window. I don’t know if this is how BMW have intended it to be but yh. Thats why i’m asking to see if anybody else’s is like that
@ unsure that’ll be how it’s intended! Might have to give the mirror a check, see if the mechanism is fully working or if something is causing a fault / block?
Yh i’ve booked it in with bmw, i was tryna compare with the 1 series u packed in front off since their mirrors were folded in and the passenger mirror on that one looks exactly like mine, but yh we’ll see what they say.
@@akefreex3056 BMW’s are pretty reliable. How easily they break depends on how you use the car, and in terms of how many miles until problems occur, again it depends how you treat the car, how you drive it and how well you look after it
@@OLTAUTOMOTIVE I see, makes a lot of sense, thinking of getting one pretty soon, the ones Im looking at have driven about 3-5 thousands european miles, 2020 m sport model, What do you think?
@@akefreex3056 still a very fresh car if it’s only done 3-5k miles. Will probably have ironed out any teething problems the car may have had and won’t have been ragged around. I’d say it’s probably your best bet, other than buying from new, to get a car that’s done between 3-12k mileage!
@@OLTAUTOMOTIVE yeah thats probably gonna be the case, getting it in 2-3 weeks probably ill let you know what I think about it, thank you for taking time out to answer my q's!
Picking mine up today. M sport in sapphire black metallic. Great car.
How have you found it after a week and a half of ownership?

I have a BMW 3 Series. When using Apple Car Play the maps also show up on the Head Up Display which is very helpful.
@@tnew6701 yeah I love it when cars do that, wasn’t sure this model had heads up display though!

They look amazing in black!

I think it’s a little bit of both! Definitely smaller but also the black helps out a lot
Have they stopped the front wheel drive or something ?

Hey bro, can I check what rims on your 118i? Like what code are they?
@@huiyangchew5213 Hi mate, unfortunately this isn’t my car it was just a loan I had for a few days! I’ll try figure it out for you though
18ins. You can see from the close up in the video that it is 225/40R18
Misano blue, black or mineral grey? Im trying to decide
Black or grey for me personally
What did you go for ?? I’m eyeing up the Misano blue
I went for the new x2 in black
I've got one in white goes well with the black trims.

How is leg room for rear seat passengers ?
