6:10, love the unexpected guest giving a cheeky smile to the camera.
I remember when you made a pc setup under your bed like 4-5 years ago... Look at you now! You drive a bimma! Congrats man 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah ahah! Crazy
Thanks for the uploads, I'm new to the bmw ownership
Really fun and well presented video. Will definitely do the strutts for the boot of my One Series. Love it!!
Thanks garth!! Honestly love the struts, had them on all up until I sold the car
love these videos, please keep them up, good work
I live in Germany and love your car videos, cause I also have a BMW f20 and love all the things you do!!!!! Keep going!
Thank you for the kind comment mate! More to come
love every think you make!!
Thanks for this video! Time to mod my F20 :D:D
When changing mirror caps use a credit card just push it in slightly and then go around
Theres no need to remove the glass:)
Nice looking car!
I’m currently in the process of buying a 1 series 118d m sport. Thanks to these awesome videos I now know what mods that need to be done. Cheers Brett !!
JaVoS no worries mate! Glad you enjoyed it
New to your channel, great vid 👍🏻
loving the vids bro, just bought a 125i m sport and im so keen to get it
Considered upgrading rear indicators, reverse light and break lights to LEDs? I did them on my 1 series and it makes the car look so much better in the dark
Good video Brett👊🏼
Loving the mods videos mate!
Cheers Tom
Keep up the good work mate 👍
Cheers Sam
Love your mod vids
Really enjoying these videos, i am hoping to buy a 1 series like this soon and do similar mods. Have you looked at a carbon fibre front splitter and side skirts ?
I’m loving the boot struts ! Will see if they will fit my BMW X1 . Liked n subbed .
Thank you mate!!
Dont worry, did the exact same thing to my mirror. Loving the video new sub
Cheers George!
After watching this video I went away and bought a pair of Emerald Struts for my 120d and they're amazing. My Mrs uses the car as a mobile care worker and being able to pop open the boot from the key instead of fumbling with hands full of PPE has made life so much easier.
Can u tell me if the boot closes normally with the new struts or does it need a bit more force to close. Atm my stock 118i boot can be dropped pretty low just because of how heavy it is
@@jamiesumner8311 The boot does take a little extra force to close over the stock struts, but its still easily doable one handed.
@@andynaylor1234 okay, thank you for quick reply, overall would u recommend? I had a look earlier and they are about £80, do you think it’s worth it
@@jamiesumner8311 in all honesty, for me yes it was worth it. Being able to open the boot from the key as you approach the car, or are sat inside it just makes life so much easier. When the wife used the car for work she could open the boot to get her PPE even if she was carrying something. Any time we did shopping we could pop the boot as we approached and then simply put the bags in without having to put things down then pick them up again. Now its become a bit of a project car and we have a custom audio setup in the boot with amplifiers, subwoofers, additional speakers and lighting. Having the boot open to reveal the set up instead of having to manually release and lift the door just looks so much better. Its not just aesthetically pleasing, its practical as well.
Bless your Dad man, great vids, stay well \m/
Hi Brett
Bit behind I know but have just caught this video and wondered a year on if the rear struts were performing as well as you’d like. Would love to get some but thought I’d check in with you first. Thanks.
Those number plates are spot on!
6:06 "Brett your tea's ready"
Great video, will be purchasing and installing this on my BMW 1 Series👍🏾
~Mari
Hey Brett, quick question. When using those Aftermarket Pedals, u lose a bit of way in the gas pedal. This does not happen with the Originalparts because they use screws and not this kind of lip on the pedal to hook on. I wonder if i should get the Original ones or the aftermarket ones. Did u notice any difference when pushing full throttle with the pedal on ?
Nice Video and cool Car ;)
Thank u mate from Germany
Try buying the replacement on eBay. Much cheaper than the dealership and its a very easy install. I had the same accident like you.
From where did you get the dynamic blinkers mate?Thank you man good job
Man you are the best person i watch you dont swear and stuff
Cheers dude
Only come across this chanel today, good chanel well detailed and helpful 👍
Thanks for watching mate 🔥
I just installed these Emerald Struts and it's pretty nice. Don't like the gap it makes tho... they are pushing my boot away on the roof causing an ugly looking gap between boot/spoiler and roof
Yo, good mods there, I really like that boot struts to have that automatic open function and am sorry for that mirror, its really nerv-wreking when to take them off, I too got the feeling of breaking mine the first time when I installed new mirror caps but luckly I didnt, tip for the future, when removing, tilt the mirrors upwards as much as you can with the buttons so u get a bigger gap to work with. Dunno if u did that but oh well /Cheers, good videos 👍
Cheers for the comment mate! And yeah I did tilt them back, helped a lot 😋
Hey Brett, thx for your video, what do you say about the lifetime of the Struts ?
brilliant video might use those strut brace on our m235i
Yeah they are great
I read replacing the struts caused some peoples boots to have problems when closing due to alignment ? how has yours gone so far since the mod?
With the auto boot strut would this work on an E87?
AMAZING!
Great Video 👍🏻
Cheers Elliot
You’ve got a very nice car! 🔥🙌
Tom Delcominette cheers Tom! It’s a beauty
Hello mate I’m a new subscriber and definitely going to get some of them boot struts they are awesome. But just wondered do you know of anywhere that sells the angel headlights for a 1 series mines a 2015 but shape before yours thanks in advance
give the rear lights a slight tint as well as the rear windows
Another brilliant video
Cheers!!! More to come
Was wondering where I’d seen this motor before.. only to find this morning I drove right past it on the way to work! Looks amazing in real life mate, looking forward to seeing what you do with it next!
Chris Chandler ah cheers Christ! Only just seen this comment. Where did you see me
Brett Barnes I’m not sure how to describe it without saying exactly where it was.. haha and because I respect your own privacy I won’t say.
Ah ahah! Fair enough cheers mate! I guess it was around st austell area then
Brett Barnes yea I live here too, so from watching your videos it just shows it’s a small world!
Brett, have you got a link for your blind spot mirrors?
How did you do your v brace bars white? Are they covers, vinyl or painted? :)
Hello, thanks for the video.
Do you know how much Newton (N) force should the replacement struts have ?
Its not german so i dont think they thought about it.
But like we say in Holland: Vast is vast.
Means: fast is fast, use your feeling
8:43 I thought that would happen wonder if you could u some sort of strong suction cups
Yeah I did think of that!
Would one be enough with the stock one on the other side? Just so it isnt as stiff?
Your videos are really good. Definitely do buy the BMW under-door lights, they look awesome in the dark. I have them on my 2008 E90 330i SE. Only cost around £10.
Yeah I would do but I’ve not got that package on my car! I would definitely do that if I did
Brett Barnes I think there’s a little misunderstanding, what I mean are door lights underneath the car doors (the ones that come on automatically after dark), if you do a search of ‘BMW door illuminator lights’ they should come up. All the best!
Yeah I know mate mine doesn’t come with that! It’s an optional extra lighting package. I don’t have any lights at the bottom at all
@@BrettBarnesYT you don't need the package, you buy them and out them on your car door yourself. They look tacky anyway imo
wish they did the boot struts for the mk8 fez
Brett do you have a link for pedal plate covers please..
Hi mate I fitted on my f20 correctly but when I shut the boot for first time it does not open and makes noise in latch when ever I open with the key or do it manually!!!
Cool video!
Do the struts work on the pre lci model aswell?
Hi, will the emerald struts work with a 1 series coupe please?
Fala meu parceiro, Brett Barnes, gostaria muito de saber como faço para comprar esse amortecedor que abre o porta mala no controle, aqui no Brasil é dificil de encontrar.
love the red interior
What is on your mirror glass? Is this kind of a magnifier?
Great channel 👍
I went to the website, but couldn’t buy the struts, can you help with that please
keep up the great work love the vids
Nice video mate , the pedals can be bought on AliExpress for less than a score , just longer shipping
Not only pedals, but literally all of those mods
Do you have any issues with the boot struts so far ?
Really like the plates. Did you have a front plate holder on your 1 series previously, or was it always straight onto the bumper?
Straight onto the bumper mate
Just last week got my 2015 bmw 120d M sport, about to turn 19 so the insurance isn't too kind. But love these videos, plan on doing a few things to it as well myself, could you link the site you got those black vinyl logo covers? As mine is in the same Alpinweiss colourway with the black leather interior. And feel like the black logos would be a good addition, cheers mate!
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131831338226
Great video defo doing some of these mods on my m140i, unfortunately the struts are out of stock 😢
You can modify your existing struts for less than £10 to do exactly the same thing mate. Search it on RUclips. You just buy the springs and some sink washers to stop them moving on the struts and its a 5 minute job
casey mcnutt oh ok mate I’ll have a look, cheers 👍
@@yf1001 ruclips.net/video/mN9G0s4f_zA/видео.html
Watch the above video mate, links for the springs are in the description. Easiest mod to do and cost under £10
hey man I have an alcantera handbrake cover for the 1 series but it doesn't have the handle as you can use the original handle but do let me know if you are interested in buying it off me!
Love this and looking forward to seeing if u do the same on the new car!! How were the struts a few months after install? Any damage or problems?
No damage at all! ☺️ getting them for the new car
@@BrettBarnesYT does the boot feel normal when closing, or does the added pressure off the springs make it more of a pain and bouncy. Atm I can drop my boot from pretty low just because of how heavy it is. Thanks👍
Nice videos bro!! Where you buy the secuential indicators??
Phaha! Watch the video mate, I mentioned it about 10 times haha
What version is your BMW 1-Series?
Will this mod void any warranty if an issue occurs with the boot for any reason ?
Can this Struts be fitted on eney 1 series bmw
Some luxmats ! Check them out if you haven’t already . You can custom design your own mats on line and they are car specific and cover 95% of the carpet. You can also choose your own logo. Mine were £260 but with carbon fibre they are £320. Diamond floor mats are the cheaper alternative that are £160 but are limited as far as design is concerned . Reach out to luxmats uk they may hook you up .
Man i love your vids, you and your girlfriend are an awesome couple. Your fan from London
Nice pedals thinking getting them for mine as well (why dont you buy genuine bmw rubber mats or m per mats)
Yeah I’m thinking about doing that but probably going to wait until mine get old as they are
Decent at the moment
Where did u buy the pedal covers?
Yo will these fit onto a 116D f20
The installation of EMERALD STRUTS is a much needed upgrade, as it a practical upgrade and not just for appearance.
Is the boot harder to close now? And is it now too hard to close it without using too much force or does it still feel like a normal boot
Well I noticed the difference but I got
My dad to try it and it’s as stiff has his Hyundai Tucson so I’d say it’s normal yeah
You got a link so I can get them ?
Which Bodykit do you have on your Car (M Perf., M140i, ...)?
Just the m sport package mate
Surely the boot doesn't release until you press the catch IE the BMW badge, also mine is under the lip of the boot.
Get Car on fibre mirror caps they would be sick
Where did you make the sign!
How do your mirrors fold when locked without the comfort pack?
Not too sure mate!
Are slinkmods still around ?
What year and model is that BMW?
I bought the pedals after seeing this video and have had trouble fitting the brake and clutch pedals aswell
Robert Hanvey drop CLC Performance a message on Instagram mate
@@BrettBarnesYT cheers mate
You should get the M performance exchaust for the 140 on your car. Got mine fitted last weak on my 118i
Any good?
@@BrettBarnesYT yess the sound is much better. Mine is from 2019 so it has the partical filter but still the sound and looks are so much better. You just need a reducer and a new diffusor. I got the rieger diff.
Just wait until our MMI comes in 😁🚀
Excited!
Is the alarm beep factory? Sounds cool.
No mate it’s been coded in
Hummmm. Making me wanna get some boot struts for mine now! And decent number plates lol!
Honestly the boot struts are one of my favorite mods! Super cool.
Sadly they don't them for my Scirocco :(
Cool video
Got the same foot pedals but they are so loose! How did you get them on ? Did you need to drill?
I ended up drilling them for a perfect fit 😎
Does the bmw 118d 2018 get apple car play?
Not to sure on that to be honest mate
I did the dynamic lights mod and got exactly the same result - broken mirror glass 😂
Phaha yeah it’s very common
I just want that imerald strup
