118i rocket?

Yo llevo un mes esperando el mio😢😢😢😢

" if defo above " what do you mean ? sorry I do not understand that sentence

@@user-jz7tr8zb5habove in terms of interior quality

@@user-jz7tr8zb5h bit late, but the quality is just a cut above the rest of the hatchbacks. The Old a3 was the best before but not any more

Interesting comparison for sure. Kinda like golf r vs gti?

@@Bahle_Gaji The interior quality of the new 1 series is a real step up from the F20/F21 series. Apart from that however, the rest of the car is (in my opinion) disappointing. I'll keep my M140i thanks.

I wanted to get a 128ti, or an M135i with the newer facelift model, problem is they were both around £30k -£35k for a decent one. So I picked a 335D X Drive M Sport with the ZF 8 Speed Automatic gearbox instead, 6 years old with 59k on the clock, 0-60 better than both of those cars (0-60 in 4.8s in the 335D) and bigger saloon car so more room, more efficient (35-40mpg on a spirited drive and 45-50mpg on a motorway cruise) and all wheel drive. Paid £17,300, considering the list price of it brand new was over £41k, I'd say paying £17,300 for a 6 year old car with 59,000 on the clock was pretty good. That's a LOT in depreciation each year! It was literally the only one of that age, mileage and condition at that price advertised in the whole country, next cheapest was £2,200 more at £19.5k

@@thefiestaguy8831 I bought my M140i in late 2019 when it was about 2 & a half years old, it had 14,200 miles on, and I paid exactly £20,000. Considering it's list price was about 38k I'd say I did well !! I have had it for 4 years now, and it's on 43,000 miles, and has been running 455bhp/634nm quite happily for the past 3 years 🙂

@@thefiestaguy8831 You chose a good car. Im in the market for an AWD hatch circa 30-40k budget and the BMW peaks my interest but that M135i 2.0 engine leaves me unimpressed sound wise even if it is a capable car. I was talking to a guy at a factory today that I visited and he has a 435d Gran Coupe. Runs a stage one and larger intercooler( I never realised they used the same intercooler as lesser engined models). Showed me his dyno sheet and it was 397bhp (350 ish wheel) and 730nm of torque! That’s one hell of a gain for minimal outlay and the intercooler was purely down to preference and helped make 4 consistent back to back runs with the same power and no heat issues. I know for a fact they are quick stock. Officially Gassed has a new series on his 335d daily and is good viewing as he’s just had a stage 1 by NVM and that’s his first stop to getting it to some daft numbers. I can see that well over 600 after he’s finished.

yes

@@ParagonCarsLondonany factors why? I was waiting for this video from you for a long time and so happy to finally see it. 1 series vs a class is always a hot topic, maybe it’s worth a video? I’d love to hear your opinions

You should try my 120i in comparison. And then you will never think again enough power in the most situations ;)

im 6'2 and fit just fine are u sure the seat was lowered

Same I'm almost 6'3 and I have no problems at all ​@kylekruthoffer7447

You need to lower the seat

@@keithtitley9452 Auto for city but manual if you live in the countryside

The 1 series always cost about that from new. The reason you see so many on the road is that everybody goes for PCP and the value drops heavily after year 3 so the used market is very popular. There’s no point comparing this car to your 3 series, they’re two completely different cars at two different price ranges. People who buy the 1, can’t afford the 3.

Yet another who thinks that tons of power is needed. Daily use, not required. Mostly for ego boosting by a lot of drivers, to feel superior because it’s faster than the next car when a bit of immature road rage takes place because they needed to show who’s boss on the road. Wow. Thats why UK roads have so many problems.

Not sure where you got that impression from. I chose to have a car with that engine because I like driving. I like driving to the speed limit... it's nothing to do with "prestige" or "one upping" anyone else on the road. Ultimately it's still a 6 year old car with 88k on the clock and i'm under no illusion. Everyone has their fancy... people I work with spend thousands going on week long holidays in dubai, australia, new york... you name it. I don't. My last holiday abroad was late last year consisting of 11 days in Spain and that was my first holiday abroad since 2014! Some lads and girls like to spend most friday and saturday nights in the club, getting absolutely hammered and then passing out in an alleyway, waking up hours lter covered in their own vomit. Me? I do none of that. I spend money on my car. I work with people who earn the same amount of money as me who drive around in 19 year old small Audi Hatchbacks. A colleague of mine who was earning £65k+ 5 years ago I saw leaving work in an R reg volvo estate.... some people just want a cheap car because they prefer to spend their money elsewhere. Other people pay more for their cars because they feel they work hard for their money (I know I do) and want to treat themselves.... nothing to do with "ego" at all. I judge a person by their personality, not their car. I've met people driving old bangers who are the nicest people going, then i've met someone driving a £200k bentley who was a horrible person. You sound insecure.... insecure that i'm happy with my car. @@oddities-whatnot

You're not wrong but what did you expect? You can't compare a 1,5l 3 cyl petrol to a diesel with twice the engine capacity and cylinders. Everyone knows that the 118i will be slower than a 335d. You'd have to compare the 1 series to a 316d or your 335d to the M135i for a comparison that makes sense.

the main point I was getting at is that these cars seem too overpriced nowadays. £30k+ for a small 1 series hatchback... does that not sound ridiculously expensive to you? Consider my car when new was £41,130. These cars are between £30k and £33k new. I just feel that £30k plus for a tiny hatchback with a 1.5 litre engine is a stupid amount of money.@@maximilianw4354

What would you pick for the same money?

@@NorvinSmith-iv7zl Opel OPC, Mini JCW, Fiesta ST, Clio Trophy, etc.

@@theoneandonly7213 no one will buy those cars unless they are acc enthusiasts. Its defo more of a brand thing
