Lumbar support isn't that, if you spec lumbar you get it for driver and passenger as I have it, that's side bolster support. Also, welcome carpet light you showed is only on driver's side on all BMW (came from the bmw 7 series first and that's the same), a little driver special it's meant to be anyway. I've changed the passenger puddle lights to LED projector ones that are nice and easy to fix that. Nice car and overview, I like it 👍
Before you mentioned the missing BMW logo light on the passenger side I have not noticed that :D It's the same on the 2 series GC. The missing trim around the passenger vent does not bother me tbh. The two things I find annoying are: 1) Passenger side wing mirror reverse parking kerb view, angle is not adjustable by the driver. This was a feature on the 2013 Mk7 VW Golf, so surprised BMW missed this. For me it turns down too much and I ended up not using it at all. I have adjusted the mirror in the default position in a way I can see a bit of the kerb when parking. If the angle is not adjustable, I think it defeats the object. 2) The gap that wipers leave on the right hand side of the windscreen is massive and if dust gathers there (when wiped) it further expands the non visibility through the A pillar, which I find a safety issue. IMHO the wipers should cover a wider area on the driver side to leave a smaller strip of dirt there. Could you answer one question for me please. I have not been able to get a positive confirmation on the boot opening mechanism. When you press the boot button on the key fob to unlock the boot, does this automatically open wide fully or does it only unlock and opens the boot door ajar and you then have to use your hand/arm to fully open the boot? Thanks
Cars that aren't spect with the electronic boot, only unlocks the boot and opens it up till it's resting on top of the lock then you need to physically lift it up with your arms fully.
@@that_kaa that's a bit of a shame, the GC bootlid opens fully when unlocked with the keyfob. Must be a different mechanism altogether. Thanks for the quick reply.
@@burso83 I just googled the boot opening for your car and the boot mechanism is completely different. I think too overcome this down the line I might either retrofit the Electric tailgate or even purchase stronger struts.
Hey! What about the suspension? Is too hard for daily use or bumpy roads? And can y disconect the fake sound from the speakers? Thank y, i looking forward to buying one but the suspension scares me because is only one set up...
Awesome video! Few things I picked up on having just brought the 128ti as soon as it launched in the uk; Passenger lumbar: Mine has it? Not sure if it's because I have the comfort pack, but the buttons are deffo there for driver and passenger and even with the seats being electric, the only thing is the passenger doesn't have memory. MPG: How often do you drive in sports with manual gears? I drive 90% in sport with flappy paddles, and my MPG is like, 12.. although that may be my driving 😂 Parcel shelf: I never knew about that and it's so cool! That's an awesome feature you never knew you needed. I totally agree with the 2nd and 3rd dislikes though, I only noticed the 3rd yesterday when a friend asked why I didn't have them and I realised it was only on the drivers side.
Cheers buddy, I believe if you spec the car with the comfort pack 2 it comes with the passenger-side electronic lumbar support option the memory seat is only for the driver side. MPG: Sports mode if honest I haven’t done an journey with it fully on. Plus if I drove in sports mode all the time I wouldn’t really care about my mpg. I was like that in my previous car. I’m glad you liked and enjoyed the video thank you very much. There are more videos coming.
@@that_kaa for future video, do a POV drive with sports with DSC turned off and use launch control. You won’t regret it 😂 if you need any help or advice or comparisons, I’ve got the 128ti with every pack bar sunroof 🙏
haha u ended me with the Radiator 😂! i will have the same car as you in 2 days now, i m excited ! i think for the logo u have just to buy an another one it s not that much expensive and easy to install in the other side .. but yeah for the passenger'/s seat , the button is missing and it s kind of mess, i didn't know that .. so probably mine too will have the same issue 🥲
😂 That's my sense of humour coming through. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yes I do agree with you I think it's just the projector and the underside of the mirror cover thats needed. Probably would have to order parts from Germany.
Thank you for subscribing. I'm putting together a rivals video which should be out fairly soon it's taking me a while trying to gather information & graphical content for it.
Great video, taught me a couple of things I’ve overlooked on my 128ti. On the subject of fuel economy; was the 38mpg you’ve achieved at steady dual carriageway speeds or urban cycle? I’ve covered 230 miles in 11 days of ownership and the best average I’ve managed is 31, 80% city driving and some pretty blatant hooning.
I haven't had the chance to hoon mine yet. I am taking it easy for a few more miles still running it in. 38mpg was achieved on A Roads & the Motorway. Urban driving I have seen her at 32mpg in ECO Pro mode because I'm an old fart! 🤣😂🤣
@@that_kaa my 31mpg was in ECO Pro as well 😂 I'm also in the older age bracket (46) so I really should know better. My last car was a 2014 A5 Black Edition diesel which regularly returned 32mpg in rush hour traffic, I suspect I'm going to have to be more gentle with the 128ti 🧐
@@that_kaa The A5 was getting a little long in the tooth and I'd promised myself one last hoorah before succumbing to an EV. Original plan was to get a two year old S5 as my ICE swansong, but BMW threw in a curve ball with some very generous deposit offers. The new 4 Series was on my radar but rear wheel drive would've made annual trips to Download Festival tricky (first sign of rain and it's always the RWD cars that end up having to be towed out of the car park field at Donnington). The 128ti ticks every box for practicality and usable performance, it's quicker than my friend's Porsche and I believe it represents better value for money than the M135i. Also, my local Audi dealer didn't seem interested in sourcing a car for me so I walked away. My only regret is not coming over to BMW much sooner, I feel like I've missed all the fun 😂
For info I have had my 128ti about a month now and I have managed 42mpg on my 17 mile commute to work in eco mode with about 10 miles motorway and the rest A roads. I was impressed with that. My average is still low 30’s at the minute though
😂 Yeah, definitely watch it. I'll be blunt with you, the 128ti is the single most expensive car I've ever bought and I was very anxious once I committed to buying it. I spent weeks researching the car, even blagged a 60 minute solo test drive. Now I've had the car for 12 days I'm convinced it was the right decision, you're going to love it, trust me 😁
@@fredericaaa2752 I'd say the suspension is "taught" but never crashy, it's not as soft as my old A5 but it's not as harsh as Civic Type R. Strongly suggest you have a test drive
Jeez, 5 dislikes are such non starters I wouldn`t give them a second thought. Getting this car this week and its a beauty. Better reviewers out there. Sorry.
As the car was pre-built I didn’t get that option. I did ask about it but it was not feasible for the dealership to do it after it had arrived from the factory.
HI .. Maybe someone can help me... I thinking about to buy this car.. But im struggling with the suspension.. They dont have any adaptive shoks in programm for the 128ti even only for the 135xi and 120d/i.. For a Car in a Segment like this i realy miss that feature. So im scared about that the Car will be to unconfortable.. What do you mean? Can you give me some imputs?
Good question & true. The APR rate doesn't look as appealing on a used vehicle versus a brand-new one @2.9% with Dealership contributions added on top you can get them cheaper for less then 40 grand. My previous vehicle was on 0% finance which was great. The lowest used APR I found on a m140 was 6.5% and the highest was 10.9% from bmw dealership but haggled it down to about 8.9%. Yes doesn't have a six cylinder engine and yes it's not rear wheel drive. I've test driven and m140i they are lovely cars to have but too expensive to run. Plus you have to consider the extension for the warranty. I like that new car feeling plus was impressed with the courtesy car that I got given whilst my F21 was in for warranty issues.

Did you get the choice between Bridgestone tyres and Michelin Pilot Sport 4's?
As the car was pre-built I didn’t get that option. I did ask about it but it was not feasible for the dealership to do it after it had arrived from the factory.
How did you find the Sapphire Black paint to maintain?
Is that interior trim boston (clear) or berlin (darker) ? Do you know if the lighting pattern is different on the trims or stays the same? Thanks.
It's got the Boston trim. I believe the lighting pattern would be the same as it just the outer trim cover that is different. Hope that helps :)
Looking at getting one of these mate. Are you happy with it?
So far I cannot fault it every moment I get a chance to drive it brings a smile to my face.
