    I’ve had my 118i for about 7 months now , it’s a 1.6l M sport shadow edition so it’s pretty nippy , I would personally say I’ve always been a bmw fan , these cars are an absolute dream to drive smooth on eco , comfort , very nippy perfect for a 1/2st car

      Do you miss power since it is a 3-cylinder car? Is stage 1 remapping safe on the 118i models?

    This car is bought massively by UA-camrs etc and people who love modding cars, only have to google the engine to know you should NOT be mapping or making any mods to it as it simply can't handle it, multiple videos from garages telling you not to mod it and even my mate mapped it with a company thats the main one used in his area and his 1.5 developed a engine fault and needed a new engine.
    Buying a 1 series soon the 118i auto with the 1.5 petrol engine but i won't be modding it and i suggest others do the same as remember its a 1.5 petrol engine its not meant to be thrashed or have mods on it which is what garages tell you its too much on the engine.

    These B series motors are great with stage 1 tune. 120i can make approx 270ps, which turns it from nippy to fairly fast. Insurance companies sadly disagree.

      Yes mate, loads of videos from garages etc explaining why not to map or mod this engine as it simply can't handle the stress even maps etc done by the best in the UK, 1 series are bought by UA-camrs and car modders and you only have to search the engine to see how many of them have needed new engines or rebuilds after mapping.

    Nice video and review and definitely the POV angle is preferred or have both rolling at the same time if possible, or try a 360 camera that you can change where its focus is at in post so you can highlight things happening on the road etc. Not too sure about remapping these engines tbh but just looking at the 1 series or bmw 1.5 reviews as may get a Mini Cooper 1.5 that shares the same engine

    3cylinder with the M Sport brake ... I wish the previous owner of mine had just spent the 750€ on the brakes as you're just not getting any decent deal on that brakes and buying spares costs more than buying the set for the 18" M Performance brakes ... ugh.
    Not a fan of the M mirror covers on a small engine car though. Looks too flashy for my taste.
    I'd definitely upgrade the screen for the larger 8.8" one - should just drop and an can then be encoded. While you're at it: pick a touch display add the better looking touch controller as well. They look better. You can also just encode Apple CarPlay (or pay for the BMW software upgrade)

      Depends on your driving if you do long distance then diesel obviously but if you mostly do short trips then you'll clog DPF etc, why anyone buys a BMW with a manual gearbox i do not know...to me BMW are luxury cars and not something you spend thousands on just to sit changing gears yourself thats why im going with a auto 118i.
