Here the BMW 1 series, the last of its kind, a 1.5 litre, three pot engine with a turbo and rear wheel drive packaging. A very unique car indeed, in fact, a collectible classic. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Totally agree with you, Mr. Bobby. Drove it a few weeks ago & it definitely felt it has more than 136HP. Lovely handling & comfy ride for a M Sport, wish it comes with paddle shifts too. Surpassed my expectations for an entry level BMW.
Never let Bobby drive your car :D
Thank you for the great review, requested this a while ago, I am enjoying the drive in my 118i sport for 2 months now. Most people don't believe me when I say its only a 1.5 with 136 bhp.
Hey mr. bobby , i enjoyed watching your reviews but i was just wondering whether you will reviews popular B-segment cars (for eg: Honda city, Toyota vios n etc) ?? Anyway keep up the good work :)
Its a real gem this. I Enjoy driving it! By the way a new pre-reg costs around 150k. A bargain if you ask me...
Awesome review..what is your thoughts between this and Mazda 3 hatchback?
Hi, what is your view about the F20/21 BMW 120i? It is a 1.6 turbo engine how reliable do you think it is compared to the 1.5t engine
Wonder what kind of lap time we could do with this 118i ? will it break 2:50? would be a good 2-in-1 kinda car if it would.. daily drive to work and occasional fun2 trackday session. no need to keep 2 different cars for both purposes
It still looks good despite year of 2022.
does not engine shakes crazily while idling? 3 cylinder engine 1.5
Bobby, is E87 116i still worth to buy now?have you driven the car before?
How is this engine compared to the 120i 1.6 turbo?
is the infotainment system not touchscreen?
Hey bobby amazing amazing reviews. always look forward to new videos from you!. If I may ask, would it be wise to get a used bmw x1 or 3 series (around 5 -6 years old) ? will the maintenance cost be too high? thanks
i have a 6 year old BMW .... they're very reliable. haven't had any issues with it **touch wood** ... go ahead! The previous X1 is a very unique and practical car ....
please do review BMW 135i e82 please please please! love your channel
Hi Bobby , i have loom through you VolVo V40 and this BMW walkthrough. Can i know which one will you prefer for all day city drive and some highway drive ? Will appreciate so much for your reply
+lteikjin if you are not an enthusiastic driver, wont join ulu yam drives etc. Just prefer to drive smooth etc, then the V40's solid build, sound proofing and plus interior is something the 1 series cannot match. But if you are a keen driver like me, the V40's handling cannot touch the 1 series. But the 1 series's power is almost 100hp down from V40 for the same price. Making the 1 series a very good, very exoensive Ford Focus 1.5 turbo whereas the V40 is yet another bargain for the 250hp horsepower it gives. Off the traffic lights or at highways, the V40 can flash many 1 series off in a very fast manner
Hey Bobby, just wanna ask your opinion regarding the power of B38 1.5T engine. From your video, it seems you enjoyed very much and felt the power is more then advertise.
My experience is a little different when I test drive the new F40 118i. Don’t feel much power. More like a delicate power rather aggressive type compared to Golf 1.4T(mk 7) which on paper has less hp and torque (123bhp and 200nm vs 138bhp and 220nm). If you watched the sgcarmart review for 118i, their reaction is the same I had when I drove the 118i. Just wanna know what’s your comment on this? It is because the new 118i is a FWD or the new variant has lesser power.. thx!
new car is heavier and fwd, lost it feels. this 118i was somewhat tail happy
Hi Bobby. Great videos. If you had to buy a hatchback under 200k to replace an MK6 Golf TSI, which would you go for?
A rear wheel drive hatch. Or a 4WD.
Hi Bobby. Am a new fan of your videos.
Am considering between 118i and 120i. Used 2017. My question is.. Why are the prices same considering 120i is higher hp. Approx 130k.
And which one should I get?
Thanks!!
Of course the 120i! :)
Would you get a Volvo V40 over this?
Bobby, i realised the prefacelift f20 118i is 170hp on paper. But this facelift 118i is 136hp on paper. Why? Hows the difference when driving?
Last time was the 1.6 turbo engine from peugeot and now it's 1.5 3 cylinder turbo. The 136hp is of course slower. Noticeably. But fun little engine
Is this worth it in 2024?
Thinking of buying 2014 Angry Bird 118i, how would be the ride compare the jarring 120i you mentioned and this, Bobby ?
It went from the jarring 120i suspension to one of the best suspension in the market today on the 118i. Buy buy buy
@@BobbyAngmalaysia Pending bank approval, hahahah..
Jason Night i owned f20 2014 till now still in good condition. Don't worry about hp....handling is superb.
Hi Bobby. The previous 1series that has teeth breaking ride that u meant, which was it? The F20 "angry bird" or the older version?
it's not so much a model problem, but a spec problem. When the angry bird was facelifted to the handsome bird, BMW malaysia specced a 120i with M Performance parts. That suspension was so hard the FD2R's suspension is outright Kingcoil mattress ... :p
@@BobbyAngmalaysia So u are talking bout the 120i spec. What's your thought with 2013 118i angry bird. I am considering getting a used one. Seems pretty good on paper.
I love the angry bird 1 series now. Used to hate it. Buy buy buy
@@BobbyAngmalaysia thanks a lot. I love your reviews. Words from daily driving perspective. Helps alot to decide on the 118i. Definitely getting 1.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia help me out. i'm in a conflict.
i test driven the f20 118i. the cabin is so cramped even compare to my Axia! How do you feel about it as you drive big cars daily? My options now are 118i, Mazda 3. Maybe f30.
One more question, why is the price for used f30 320d so low? Is it a problematic car?
what is your pick between this ( on mudah can get ard 140k for pre-reg), merc a180 amg 2013 recon & 2013 used gti mk7?? basically 140k budget
140k for sport version not m-sport
+Ahmad Farhan definitely this. RWD hatch bro
this is the last RWD hatch you can get, it is a gem!
+xiper86 in fact, the only
May I know whr u test drive ur car? Coz I see u always taking the same route.
this is the route between desa water park (closed now) towards taman desa
how is this compared to Volvo V40 as family car?
+skincladalien more spacious, softer suspension, better handling, cheaper interior, better infotainment.
Hi bobby, between BMW 118i and Merc A250, which is better?
Both interior space suck, but at least A250 still usable. Engine wise, the A250 engine is a better performer than the tiny 118i engine. The 118i engine has no reason to exist in a premium car actually
sir.....this bmw 118i just 1.5 litre and i want to ask you its faster?????its feel power????im wondering this car..got turbo?
and it's honda civic 1.5 turbo faster than bmw 118i?
179bhp for the Civic Turbo and 136bhp for the Bimmer. The figure says it all.
Hi bobby, thanks for the review. I would like to ask how does it feel driving the 1 series on highway... does the 1.5 litre engine feels out of breath? Running..let's say 120 to 140km... does it feel too much for the little engine?
+Nat chan 120-140 is perfectly ok.... 140-170 then you feel it .. :)
Wokie! Thanks BoBby!
Hi Bobby, I'm going to replace my current Audi. Given a budget of 160k. Used car. Would you choose a 328i M sport, early 2014, not under the BMW 5 years policy, VS 2017 118i M-sport? I know it is 2 different level cars...I'm coming from reliability perspective ? Which would you choose? Mid 30s now.
M140i review!
Infiniti Q30 is 1.6 with front wheel drive haha
Thanks a lot for the review. What is your comment comparing this to an A200 ? Once again, thank you and keep up the good work!
+Tse Wei Ngeam if A200, definitely this is better. But if GLA200, then the GLA is a very good and spacious cross hatch
Thank you very much for your reply. Will book a test drive then.
BMW 118i or AUDI A3 1.4 tfsi?
Bmw is my pick but A3 is the better car
can u make audi a4 2.0 TFSI QUATTRO review??
Umar Haziq there's already one
Tiguan or x1?
X1
Hey Bobby, Between a 2nd hand Megane(2012-2013), 2nd hand VW scirocco 2.0(2012-2013) and this what would your pick if you're gonna use it as a daily drive, sales job guy?
Oh and not to forget the 86/BRZ as all these cars quoted are around the 120k-140k range.
I've been driving an RS265 for the past 1.5 years, about 65km per day. The Renault has nearly twice the HP & over 1.5 time more torque than the 118, my fuel economy also sits at 10.5l/100km, so not so good... It's an absolute weapon around country roads but you have to live with the compromise around town.
The BMW has a much nicer interior and probably ride a lot better. It probably wouldn't feel that much slower in city traffic either, as that 1.5 triple is a gem.
+Gabriel Tam
+Gabriel Tam haha no way it can catch up to the RS265. This 118 just recently got those uber comfortable suspension. 3 years ago when bmw kitted the 120i M Sport, it was barely driveable on day to day driving. I love the Megane's suspension, firm but not harsh. Almost bought it if not for the hopping on NS highway at high speeds due to the suspension and aeros
+Booby Ang Of course, the 118 or for that matter the 86/BRZ will not keep up, but since OP is a sales job guy, he might want to keep his driver's license! Also as your other video alluded to, the Megane is still a very pretty car especially the pre-facelifted model.
BTW, only started watching your video this weekend, gotta give you a big thumbs up for your honest, a matter of fact style of presentation. It's a million times better than those so call car bloggers from the UK and US. In my humble opinion, your contents are right up there with Autogefühl and Savagegeese on CZcams.
hi bobby. this vs honda accord 2.4. not comparing apple & orange. just heart over brain thing
+M. Rosli exactly! Then i'll use the same logic by the great Jack Baruth. "Do you need that big car? Or is it just the case that you would like to spend that kind of money and that car seems the most worthwhile?" I'd go for the 1 series. Accord can buy anytime, 40 years old, 50, 60 ... cars like the MINI, A Class and this... you buy them when you're in your 20s or 30s.
The maintenance scared me. 😂😂expensive or not? 😮
ZERO. It's FREE for 5 years.
Muhammad Danial Ilham after 5 yearn, you can do outside workshop below RM740. Trust me!
@@wilsonb82 Where? Could you recommned? What sort of oil the use?
that is a good city car for mistress 😁
Haha!!! "I 1.5 turbo you know, you 1.5 MIVEC ah" haha!!!
you guys body shake like hell and you say its comfortable. wtf is wrong
Gavin Lee Kang Lun because the car is moving?
that's call camera shake.
the a class looks nicer
Yeap, especially in the rear view mirror on windy roads. :)
