Thank you Ricky for your time and efford into this video, hope you find time for a few other builds we have in store. ✌🙏

I’m so glad Bruno’s made it and got the exposure his work deserves from LLF been following him for a long time

One of the rare occasions you'll get an owner telling you you aren't revving it high enough 😂😂😂 legend.

First 5 seconds... Yep, he's a BMW driver... 😋😂👍

Ricky... laughs as the owner is driving fast. The owner's face tho... " AM I A JOKE TO YOU " 🤔😂

Bruno one hell of a mechanic , I love the guy

This is what a car is about ,, usable reliable power and the owner can handle it ,, unlike many so called bad man's who have stupid bhp but can't even get close to the limit of there car !!!

I met Bruno last year at a track day at brands hatch in my e36 compact he’s a very knowledgeable guy and generous with he’s advice , great to see him on LLF 👍🏻

Personally been out in this car, it is an absolute weapon, soo much torque! Bruno is one of the most skilled mechanics I’ve met and an epic driver 🙌

Man like Bruno! It's good to be different, making a car no one wants into a weapon

You know Ricky's a mad man when he's holding a straight face while in the passenger seat ofna car doing donuts

The comments about the E8X chassis is so true! These cars handle extremely well! I can see the 130i e87/81 and 135i E82/88 becoming modern classics in the near future!

Not a fan of BMW's apart from older M cars and old school BMW's. But this is different. The owner has concentrated on making this car a drivers car. People seem to forget that a car doesn't need a gazillion horsepower to be enjoyable. Being able to wring an engine's neck savouring every last rev, , enjoying changing gear whilst feeling the tyres grip through the steering wheel, controlling the cars direction with your right foot, makes you feel one with the car, blipping the throttle as you brake and down change at the same time. BMW, Mercedes and Audi all seem to have lost this. Yes they are fast both in a straight line and around the corners, but they have no feel, no character and only start to become fun well beyond license losing territory.

My man checking that Ricky is using all of the revs 😂 Most owners are hoping he doesn't go there.

Never thought i'd look at a 116i with any sense of respect until now lol good work Bruno. Top work Ricky

awh bruno me owl flower out doing his old tricks , know bruno from monky london vids 👍👍 good driver and knows his stuff

This is nice to see something thats a normal everyday car thats been modified, ive got a 116i turbo 2012, im going to be build over the next year or two, as far as im aware no-one in the uk has fully build one yet, hoping to break into that 300bhp barrier, i could just go and buy a 135i at the end of it with the money i would have spent but doing somethink that hasent been done before and your own little project is somethink you cant put a price on

Portugal everywhere.. Muito Aço

Me with a 116i driving below 2000 RPM begging the chain doesn't skip, while check engine, oil pressure and abs lamp fight for the spot on the display: I want.

Really enjoyed this one rick, he seems like a good bloke

I like this NO NONSENSE guy...... balance!!!!!

the guy's head movement is epic when driving fast 😂

Okay, this video really has surprised me 😂 never would I ever expect to see my first ever car featured on a channel that relates to fast cars 🤣 I’m honestly gobsmacked but this car will always have a place in my heart that’s for sure.

Cant beat a develope-ment car 😂😂 big respect thou this guy knows hes stuff

Love this, all the 6 pot owners never give the 4 pots the time of day when it comes to engine mods, but since the 1 series, i see a lot more ppl squeezing power out of these engines.

This is so weird and makes so little sense... ...and thats exactly why I love it! Love these builds where guys aren't picky but just work with and make the best of what they have on hand.

I love this guy's bulids🔥😱

love how the way Bruno moves his head side to side when he's accelerating 😎😎😎

11:52 "it just rev's innit" Ricky ya crack me up

It's all about Naturally Aspirated engines, I prefer straight six old school BMW, these are the ultimate driving machine...before BMW lost the plot with turbocharging. Nice one Rick, you have caught the old school bug!

just for hearing you talk I thought ... this guy is portuguese !! :D good work and shows the best of portuguese people . ;)

This car looks like a proper drivers car tbh, good chassis good grip and doesn’t need silly power to make people smile, I think this car would be mega if it where on throttle body’s tho

Bruno is a super cool guy, really knowledgeable and passionate about what he does.

I'm so happy that I decided that knowledge is the key to everything. I became an engineer many moons ago... And I understand what he's saying

Bruno = boyo😎 driving skills on point 😳definitely need to get this guy back on the channel

Bruno checking the rear view for plod every two seconds lol

I've seen this guy on Monkey Londons channel a while ago and was blown away by his knowledge of BMWs... If I remember correctly he had a Turboed E46 M3 that was nuts! Go Bruno 👍

Well done, I appreciate the effort he has went through. Clever man

Just saying that engine is mint.. 217 NA 4 cyl basically an E30 M3 😂😂

What a sleeper. Turning the most basic model 1 series into a monster 👌

You need to get this guy back on the channel, guy is a nuttah!!

Think we found the new llf team member finally someone besides ricky who can rag the exhaust out a car n knows how to drive lol look at that perfect shift at 7:37

Love Bruno’s work! Please Ricky can you feature the Boxster!

My integra b20vtec has 236bhp and 177lbft weighing 1120kg, I can identify with the fun he's having driving that thing!

Love how rickys head bobs from side to side, str8 poker facing it when he gets on the power. Been doing it myself lately haha 😂🤣

*When you cant afford to insure an m140i...* 116i ftw

I love the straight face by the owner when he’s driving like his on a mission 😂

Bruno is bonkers lol certified driver! Nice one Ricky stay blessed and bless up the LLF fam

Superb work by Bruno on the car. I have a 2011 116i and my wallet was saying "DACIA" at the time (Thanks to Andrew). I must say, the work done on the car gave me hope after months of being cricified by KZfaq for having a car that has timing chain problem as it's famously known for that. Part of the plans I am considering for the car is to swop the N47 for a better and realiable motor such as the likes of M50, M52, N50 and others I am still trying to learn about about other 6 cyclinder motors that can fit in the chassis of the car without breaking the bank that much. The route you took really gives me an idea of how one can improve the car's lazy performance... Pity I'm in South Africa and I haven't heard of anyone who has done what you have done the work similar to what you are doing to your car.. I am open to ideas from tuners only.

Nice build, respect for the effort and lovely daily car but can’t help but point out that the 116/118/120d would remap up to beyond these figures stage 1

🤣 The way Ricky just cut him off while he was explaining about his championships, Ricky didn't look interested

If I seen this in traffic I’d fancy myself Against it😂

Have a noble m12/RS 2000 if your interested in doing a vid

Favorite type of builds are these.

Monky London's mate, wicked 1 series. You need a vid with monky!

This has to be the best video by far, had me in stitches, “Ricky, you have to rev the car” 😂

I've had two 1 series BMW's. A 130i and a 460bhp M140i. I genuinely preferred the 130i. This 116i kind of reminded me of the 130. Although mine was an msport model, as opposed to his SE, the 130i was always a sleeper as nobody ever knew what it was, despite it having a 265bhp 3.0 straight 6 under the bonnet! Would love to see you do a review of one.

Dudes giving it the Ricky serious face lean 😂😂 and dude look at Ricky like a G “you’re not driving it “ 😂😂

Get this man on again!

Its rev happy, I love how it revs... Reminds me of the Honda type R

Best bit when ricky puts normal map on and says "really this is a joke" lol Had me dead

Watched plenty of LLF videos and this by far is my favourite car! 👌🏽

He knows his stuff could only imagine what he could do to my 130i,impressive stuff,Any chance of a video on a 130i LLF would be brilliant,big following for that car,here's hoping from Ireland,love the channel

Bruno!!! Lol As always Ricky, top edutainment!!!!

Bruno,what a legend.

who else gets terrified sitting in the passenger seat of their own car being driven by someone else?

Favourite build because I can really afford it!

The days when BMW made grils the size of hands rather than heads

Brilliant vid loving the drift!! not long till I’m on channel 👀 was good meeting you at the MSL performance meet!! 🔥💯🙏🤣

Gotta admire the geezers ambition and build.

Love the "we just wanted to show people what we can do with the worst BMW engine" 😂😂👍

I have a fiat seicento sporting with a k&n air filter on if your interested? DM me

Just recently seen 'Mr B' on another you tubers channel, this all makes so much sense now and his four pot love!

Bruno looks bored shitless in the passenger seat 😂😂😂

LMAO by the start of the video you know it's going to be good!

Pretty cool build, man! I like n/a engines more because they are more controllable than turbo ones. Cheers, mate!

Man like Bruno on the channel

I remember this guys boxter was a weapon!

Representing Portugal 🇵🇹🔥

I had the same car. Never thought that engine could run +200hp. I'm truly amazed

*Tyre squeal*... "I didn't know I had to turn"

Ricky he wanted you to really rip that thing like he said it was built solid what a machine!

Seen this guy on Monky London, crazy clever guy 👍🏼

7.30 - 8.00 savage at the end !!!😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥

Really enjoyed this one, nice one rik, what a guy 👌

He is portuguese?

It's now a 116 competition package

Been a long time Ricky mate, but glad your still going strong need to catch up on the videos 💪

i don't know why,but somehow this video was as interesting if not a bit more than a lot of the big powered features.a man said you're not revving itt LOOOOL

Bruno really knows how to build/tune :)

My man's likes to do "Devil - Opmints"😂

This guy is a proper legend

Love builds like this. Loved the difference in the standard and stroker maps. Out of curiosity, what cameras do you use outside and inside the car?

you always know when ricky is going hoon it because he has a this slight smurk on his face and leans his head side to side as he goes through the gears hahahaha!! every time

Ricky put the fear of Romanian Jesus in to this man 😂😂😂😂😂

He did well with the deve lope ment.

Bruno looks so worried at times... Worried you aren't using the full rev range!

Bruno what a star ...... Someone teaching Ricky how to drive was good viewing peace out all

I like this guy.

Got a e36 compact with a 2.5 straight 6 from bruno the test drive was interesting 😂🙈
