Got exactly the same car and colour but with a Pan Roof ,I've had no issues with getting into reverse ,I also think it's a much better looking car than the previous 1 series ,I love the rear LED lights ,I do also miss a reverse camera
I have the same car, if you go into the infotainment settings, then lighting, you can change what side of the road you are driving on. So you don’t have to use the stickers if you go to Europe again
My wifes got the previous 1 series m sport and that gear box is exactly the same, especially reverse gear its like you need arms like the hulk to put it in lol
I have the F40 M135i with tuning box at 367bhp. Stunning motor. I had the F20 M140i before, and the F40 is the better car. BTW in the cars settings, you can alter the headlights from right hand drive to left hand drive. Saves putting them crappy beam deflection stickers on the lights. Enjoy the motor.
That’s some good knowledge. I will most certainly use that if we take it away this year. But we are considering changing it out for a f31 340i touring if we have another little man. Would love a m140i. The dream. Thanks for watching man.
I have the same car and reverse is a bit crap as i previously had a 2004 E46 M3 with a short shift that was difficult to go from reverse to first as they both tend to go back into reverse so had to pull it out of reverse and move lever to the other side of the neutral gate and then go back to first otherwise very annoying shooting back instead of forwards. Otherwise very happy with the car even the white paint which is not my thing normally.
I traded my old 68 plate 1 series in for an Abarth 595 Comp which is a car on cocaine 😂...But I'm thinking getting something more sensible so I've been looking at a 1 series again
120i is not available everywhere :( petrol options in UK are limited to 118i, 128ti and 135i. Agree that the 120i with around 200bhp would be the sweet spot.
I had the M140 F20 and loved it, but the F40 M135 I have now is a better car. Mine is mapped to 367bhp stage 1. The control in corners with xdrive is stunning. Wet weather drive too, is safer. The M140 would lose its rear end when putting the power down hard. F40 all the way. Plus, the front looks great with the CSL style grill from maxton.

I’m split. I like this shape but also the last was classic bmw. The camera is a killer isn’t it. Thanks for watching man.

That’s a good hack. I will check it out next time.

Love the old shape and rwd. One of only BMWs weak point is the gear box.
Great review. I'm thinking of buying one. Does it have a reverse camera or 360 camera?
Thanks pal. Reverse camera is an option. This one hasn’t got it. But I wish it did. Look for one with it. 👍
@@abucklife thank you for the reply
No worries pal
How its music quality?
Yer good. Can’t complain. Crisp like walkers.

Thanks for video from İstanbul.
Thanks for watching pal 👍👍
Loved this video I got mine a few weeks ago. Mines storm bay 💭
Get it on some mountain roads👌
Whats better, this car or the fiesta st?
Not driven a fiesta but they are suppose to be fun. I recon the bmw is a better all round car but the st is more fun.

Exactly that. I feel the same about the white too. 🤜🤛
Can’t belive they have not got a rear view camera tbh
Rubbish init. I think you can spec them but you would think it would be standard.
I’m pretty sure the USB ports you called micro USB are USB-C ports
Good to know 👍👍
فيديو راءع برافو 🏖️✌️🤍🍟
Thanks man 😎

Good call. Love those. What about a m135i new or old shape. Mint.
👌❤️
🙏
It''s better to break the "piggy bank" to own a 120i.
Im with you pal

hoping to step up to something more powerful next year. if the world stops going mad.
great honest video, keep up the good work buddy 👌
thanks man going to try and get into some more cars soon
The 15-19 reg (pre model) looks much better from the front than the new one.
Fully agree. The F series of Bmw are the sweet spot. 👍👍
Nah not anymore, there’s so much improvement in every department with the new one
@@BIG2hats not anymore what? The front of the new model is UGLY and runied.
the interior is prime
