This is gonna be my next car. Misano blue is lovely. But it’s a shame the petrols (118i) get only 1 exhaust and the diesels all get 2. Looks so much better.
HHmm it depends on the model I guess and where you buy it from. petrol engines definitely anything still in motorplan or less than 100k km, but if serviced regularly you won't have issues. Diesel as long as it was serviced all the time you wont have any issues past 100k km, just always check the turbo etc.
I love this car but even pre owned is so expensive I have a ford that free owned; it's 7 years old now ; had it from new ; I always dream of trading it in for this car 😅
Hi Patrick thank you very very much for your comment, I really appreciate the support. That is awesome man, Congrats on the Beemer Well Done. What model is it?
Hi Mr BMW SA, I really love your reviews. Just two questions: 1. Do you think think the HiFi loudspeakers is good enough and one does not really need Harman Kardon? And do we have Harman Kardon in South Africa? 2. Between torque and power which one is better? I love Diesel cars but realized that they have less power with more torque and for petrol is the opposite. So my thinking is that more power equals quicker in overtaking.
Hi Jimmy - Thanks a lot man I really appreciate the support. Sure 1. We certainly do have Harman/Kardon in SA, but Hifi loudspeaker is very good honestly. good base as well, Harman just has a clearer sound at high high volume, so no distortion, but Hifi is good enough, just not the base sound, that aint too great. 2. So for overtaking you definitely need more torque the easy way to think about it. With KW you get quicker to the wall, with Torque you can push through the wall. Petrol is also very good, but just doesn't have the power of diesel on the road, I prefer Diesel honestly not very quick pull aways, but at speed putting your foot down it is a blast. I hope this helps man?
@Mr BMW South Africa well explained 👏 👌...thank you Mr BMW. One of the must have feature for me is the best sound system that's available as I love good sound. I love all Mzansi Edition of BMWs but I'm more on 3 series, 320d to be specific. So I haven't really seen any car, when I was just searching around the internet, that's equipped with the Harman Kardon sound system, it made me wonder if is available in our market. Thanks for clarity once again

Yeah I agree, but when you driving the car you Really do not care hehe. Such a Beautiful Drive either or
Nice car champ , great review …. Keep ‘em coming
Hi Rob, Thank you very much for the comment - I really appreciate it. Will definitely keep em coming
do you recommend a 118d or 118i for a young driver?
Either or to be honest, but if I had to put my money on it I would say the 118d definitely
If you buying a pre owned or used 1 series bmw , what year do you suggest and mileage ?
HHmm it depends on the model I guess and where you buy it from. petrol engines definitely anything still in motorplan or less than 100k km, but if serviced regularly you won't have issues. Diesel as long as it was serviced all the time you wont have any issues past 100k km, just always check the turbo etc.

Hi Patrick thank you very very much for your comment, I really appreciate the support. That is awesome man, Congrats on the Beemer Well Done. What model is it?

Hi do you get ambient lighting as standard ?
Hi Nick, Thanks for the comment. Not standard no, but most of the ones you get on the market is already specked with ambient lighting.

Nice car indeed. So much torque for such a lightweight car surely overtaking is brisk. Quiet engine coming from a diesel car, less rattlings here
100% agree I was really pleasantly surprised with this car. I actually want one now haha
Hi .What was the fuel consumption on these ? Because i assume they very efficient
Hi Jeremiah Thank you for your comment. Yes you are correct they are very very efficient you get about 4.7 Litres average on L/100km
Thanks Mr BMW l, great review. Love it for being fuel saver. How silo I become a paying member
