Mate the 118i that you're driving is one of the most shittiest basic version you're driving probably with not even a single add ons , make sure you try the 118i 1.6 turbo model with decent amount of add on features then you'll realise what a car this is, there is option with 118i to choose a different color interiors as well which is not available compared to its competitor, go back to driving Ford fiestas and Toyota's.
That’s not a review, that’s a straight up rant.
Got a 2016 120d after 2 years of 2016 Audi A3 sedan ownership. There is just no point of comparing them. A3 is a Golf, spoiled in some places. BMW suspension, driver position, seats, steering - are just on the other level. One series shows an incredible balance between comfort and handling. It is such a good all-rounder. If I had a lot of money to buy other cars, I would still leave my 120d as daily.
1000%
Matt is a snob who doesn't like good driving cars 😅
Thank you for this comment, it's really helped made my decision. I'm glad people like you still exist to tell it how it really is
The Golf is better than all of those because all the people think they are not good cars.
Totally agree with you!!!👏👏👏
My wife had a 2013 120d M Sport, and it was amazingly reliable. Serviced properly and it never missed a beat for 8 years. Brakes and tyres were all it ever needed.
i just bought 2013 120d m sport as my first car and this comment means a lot😂🥰
@@helenasakac3611make sure you get the timing chain looked at. If it’s the n47 engine it’s known for bad timing chain issues, unfortunately way too common. I just missed out on that with my 2015 b47 118d. So far with 9 years passed I haven’t heard anything about common timing chain issues with my f20 LCI
Had a 2015 F20 116i Sport for about 5 years, not a single problem, enjoyable to drive, boot space excellent, comfortable, manual gear box nice, quality interior compared to others at the time and Media system a delight. Only down side was rear space which was not a priority for us. Now in the hands of my Grandson who has not had any problems either.
Me too. I think the Man is dishonest looking at ownership reviews that are very great
Good comments that back up many others I’ve seen else where.
@@stuartgoodliffe6072 Just goes to show you need to look around when viewing YT car reviews just as you do with buying cars.
Love the honesty and transparency through and through. I have always looked forward to your videos as honestly takes away my stress and worries I’ve had since the start of the year (me my girlfriend and baby was homeless). I’m definitely not one too look for sympathy but genuinely gets me through and takes the edge off even for 10/20mins and motivates me too achieve more and get one of these big boy engines you speak of as i have a 1.6 power 🤣🚙
Sorry to hear that. Hope you’re back on your feet now. All the best.

Great video as always. I had a 64 plate 116i M-Sport F20 in white, was one of my first cars and it was great, 0 issues during 4 years of ownership and got a nice trade in value 5 years ago for it.
You're a credit not just to yourself but the automotive trade giving honest advice & opinion & i like that👌more if these type of reviews please 🙏
Your honesty is what’s taken you a long way in this game and will take you a lot further, had a 1 series a couple years back on a 62 plate and was nothing but trouble from start to finish dodgy electrics + turbos etc. solid review as always
Thanks!
Bought an M140i recently, absolutely belting. Love it. No interest in anything more "normal".
They’re so good! I want one
I bought a pre-owned 2017 118i Sport 5 years ago. I've not had a single issue with it (perhaps luckily for me after watching this video 😉). Still drives as it did on day 1. No annoying creaks or squeaks! Feels solid. It is an auto which I think may be preferable in this car. I've driven a number of BMs and there are similarities in the drive so I think they did a decent job of it. I did test drive the equivalent 2017 A-class at the time and I thought it was awful. I also thought that A3, whilst refined, was a bit boring and forgettable (albeit nicer interior).
I would echo this. I have a 2016 116d that I got from now and its been ridiculously reliable. Much more so than my previous BMWs.
I like Matt's reviews, but I thought it was a bit odd he is slagging off the 1series for being dull, when at the same recommending the Lexus CT and Kia Proceed, which have got to be among the dullest vehicles produced over the recent years!
100% agree, I’ve just left basically the same comment as you above!
@@Kelveron yes and the CT auto gearbox is awful in the Lexus.
I guess we all have a car in mind that we just don't get along with. Mine is the Honda Jazz (mums car 😊)..
My son has a 2016 120d m sport auto and tbh it’s pretty quick and auto box is superb. Looks better as a 3dr although as you say not as practical as the 5dr. Facelift version with led lights makes a huge improvement too 👍
I had one for a few years. It was an auto and fully loaded (Australian version). We had no issues with it. Great car to drive around Sydney (North shore). Did not work as a family car so we sold it.
Ah Matt I think that's a harsh one. I've had my 13 plate 118d M Sport for over a year. Picked it up for £7k before the prices went nuts, 68k, with full history, 2 new tyres and new discs and pads all round. In 15 months it's only needed a window regulator.
I've had a same age Focus ST, my folks have an A3 and my in laws have the ceed. It's been miles more reliable than the ST, maybe a little bit down in the Audi interior but it was miles cheaper. The ceed felt so cheap in comparison.
The complaint about getting into reverse is the same on the 3 series.
usually find myself on the same level as you, but I really like my 1 series.
I picked up an 55 plate 130i in good spec a month ago, with 174k miles on it, good service history and it's a fantastic car
I had a 16 plate 125D it was excellent and rather quick! Granted it has the ZF gearbox, which is fab!
See I love the simplicity of the 1 series. I especially like the 1st generation. I think it’s the nicest looking hatchback of that generation. I have a 118D and other than it not being quick it’s the best car I’ve owned. Better than my old mk5 golf. Better than my mk2 and mk3 Seat Leon. I would say in the price brackets it the best bang for your buck
I have a 116i from 2012, just passed 150k km. I've had the car since last year (2021) and I've driven it 95% of the time within the city , 10k km. I believe it's perfect for a city car and an occasionally longer drive (400 km). It really depends on what you need it for and if you drive it correctly. I'd recommend the car to anyone that needs to drive around the city.
Have had my 2104 116d ED Business Edition since 2018. No problems at all so far. Lovely spec including Pro Nav ,leather, auto main beam. Fitted 18 inch BBS alloys and lowering springs. Great car, remapped to a reasonable 160bhp and 320nm torque. Will be upgrading to a 330d Touring next year
That 330d touring is a beast. Hopefully you get a nice deal on it
The 2017 118i with the 3 cylinder. It sounds awesome and feels great anytime, anywhere. The only gripe I have with it is the power (sometimes).
I have the same car. hp is OK but I guess anything feels fast after an old renault citycar
Iv got a 2012 f20 1 series and have owned it for the past 6 years and have never had any issues. It's been so reliable and still going strong at 130k miles.
I just got a 2019 too
I agree, it’s a car people buy for the badge. My grandma has a 118i LCI 2 (2018). Personally I don’t like the B38 turbo 3 cyl, BUT it’s more reliable than the 1.6 THP the earlier models had. I’d recommend the newer engines (B38, B48 petrol, B37 and B47 diesel) with the auto transmission, it’s a ZF 8 speed, bulletproof. The earlier models were as unreliable as an L322 V8 Range Rover no matter the engine nor the transmission you may choose. Almost forgot, don’t ever go X drive.
I've got the 218i, same B38 3-cyl engine manual and it's got quite enough power, especially in sport mode
Nice name
Love how Mat is brutally honest in his reviews. I had a 118d se on a 2014 with no issues whatsoever, so I guess I was lucky. Decent little cars, but again, listen to Mat guys, he knows his stuff
NO, all the other comments on the F20s shows that he is dead wrong. I concur with those comments.
My friend’s dad had a mk1 1 series. I couldn’t fit in the back of it when i was 5. So he got a 2009 5 series and he’s happy with that
Love the E82 1 Series Coupes, something about them! Previous compacts in the E46 and E36 look horrible, but to me it feels like the 1 Series Coupe is finally a good looking compact.
I've had a 16 plate 118D M Sport for around 8 months with zero issues so far (B47 engine), also with a 4 series in the family with the same engine covering over nearly 40k miles in the past year, again zero issues. I'm sure if not properly serviced and looked after issues may occur though, also the diesels are great remapped with a stage 1 (Done by somene properly) if you want some extra poke. My previous 07 Mini however was a completely different story. Great video Matt, maybe we're just lucky to have 2 reliable engines in 2 different cars. Personally I haven't heard many horror stories with the B47, but the N47 predecessor is a different story
Interesting - some of it fair. I got a 3 yr old 118d Sport this year - as I purchased on PCP, it was cheaper per month than an Astra or Focus as the residuals are good. So far so good, enjoyable to drive, punchy, economical, very good driving position, i-drive is great . Rear is a bit tight on legroom, but on balance happy so far..... but yes I would love to have the 325i 6 cylinder I had in the early 2000's, but without the fuel bills!!
We've been waiting your review on 1st series for a while. Thanks
Had a 2012 125 D Auto. It was quick, economical, comfortable and…….a bit characterless. In fact an ideal business tool. Took me to most remote areas of the UK in comfort, fault free, great on good A and B roads and was the M sport. I’d have another if I had a need for that type of motoring.
Do you think the new (F40) 1 series is an improvement over the last gen (F20)?
Another good video Matt. Valid points throughout. Great pensioner car who would cherish it and treat it well like a family member
And have his trousers taken down on a regular basis by the friendly BMW dealer
I was toying between 1 of these and a 520d, as a work mate sings praise of their 1 series, very glad I went for the 5!
Honest review thanks
Great vid 👍. I agree not as well built as it should be which was disappointing. My old E21 and E30 only needed consumables. I did find it peppy in sport plus mode though which also altered the steering response.
Totally agree
Finally the 1 series👍, agree with a most of your comments apart from reliability. I have done 135k miles on my 118d and never gave me any issues, maybe I got lucky😊
Brutal, honest no nonsense review. Very refreshing. Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
Best car reviewer on RUclips. Honest and witty, keep it up mate. I haven't missed a video since you had 22k subscribers
Thank you so much 👍
Good morning Matt, an excellent, honest review that has put me off every buying one . Ged
I had a 2019 F21 with the 1.5 had it for 3 years and just over 30,000 miles I didn't have any problems I quite enjoyed it tbh. Now I have the new Kia Sportage love it even more
My Dad had this version then the next generation both from new, (still has it) had no issues with either.
Thank you Matt for an honest review 👍
Could you maybe do a video on the older M240i now that the new ones out? I know you did an M140i but would like to hear your opinions on the different chassis and wheelbase
Agreed, would love to see a review on the M240i or M235i
Solid and honest review mate 👍👍💯
5:18 that’s the thing I really hate. Why is the reverse so stiff? Very hard to get it without moving your hand back and then whacking it
A good honest review!
Interesting review. I drive a 125i (B48) m sport auto and cannot fault it. So far it’s been reliable and on the right road it’s a blast to drive. Interior might look bland to some, but it’s solid with no rattles or creaks. ZF8 gearbox is awesome.
Looking at gettin one in the uk, Funny how rare the 125i’s actually are. Great that they have a zf8 box, rwd and a punchy b48 motor w 224 stock🤝🏽
Nice video Matt honest as ever
Honest review. At last. Keep up
would agree re build quality and reliability. I had a 2011 135i Coupe - always had warning lights on the dashboard and seemed to be forever getting it fixed by my mechanic. I gave up on it after 16 months and just 4,000 kms. It had done around 100,00 kms (60,000 miles) when I bought it and felt like it had been used and abused by previous owners. Was happy to see the back of it
Does anyone have any experience with the 2018 Honda jazz sport 1.5? Surely a worthy although slightly boring contender to the 1 series.
116d sport was my first car on a 63 plate. Battered it for 5 years 78k miles timing chain went. Got £5k for it part exchange. Checked the reg and it looks like it’s been scrapped or spliced for parts.
Timing chain going so early was disappointing but I did rag it in fairness.
Old school hydraulic steering was great and I’m glad it was slow otherwise I’d have crashed it (more than I did)
Good video as always, Matt. Be interesting to see what you make of a test drive of a three cylinder turbocharged model (B38).
Thanks alot. How reliable is the 120D 2018 specs onwards? And on the A class which is the reliable engine for long term ?
I wasn’t expecting to be all roasted about my car when I clicked this video lol. I drive a 2009 e87 118i with the M pack which I think looks beautiful. Never had any issues with it either. Whenever I drive my fathers bmw and I jump back into my car I do miss a big engine though, its almost like driving with the parkingbrake still on 😂
My bro in law had a 135i and that was a right laugh. Needed new undercrackers with that backwheel drive when you booted it. Swapped it for a convertible remapped 435d which was arguably the perfect car but you can't replicate that feeling of being on an uncontrollable sledge in the wet like the 1 series.
Owned one of these for 4 years and couldn't agree more with this review.
I am a happy owner of a 2017 118i with the B38 three cylinder. Nearing 60,000 miles and it's like I bought it yesterday. Peppy enough, interessting engine note and the auto does wonders with the engine. The only thing I am super pedantic about is changing the oil every 4000 miles, especially on a BMW.
I know what you mean by the 4-cyl, 6-cyl thing. I was looking at getting a 320d after having a go of my mates 420d. Thank God I got a 330d Xdrive after. The performance is like light and day, especially with a map.
They're like chalk and cheese
@@HighPeakAutos night I meant! 😂👊 Yes mate, beauty of a car, the torque is linear and it pulls like a train whilst its like sitting on your couch in the house.
Why did u review the older pre-lci models and not the LCI models? Which are the most popular 1 series
always so interesting watching what you are up to ! - had a couple of BMWs (320 & 330) but now a Skoda fan -- had an Octavia and now a Superb and I love them !. The 1 series is entry level for BMW but it is not the super car people believe they are buying -- but suppose when you need to start paying around £40K+ it is a bit of a stretch for ordinary folk
How do other f20/21 owners find changing to second gear on the manual box? I find it can be hit or miss whether it goes In smoothly or needs a bit of force.
Never had any issue with 2nd on my F21 LCI. If anything the gearbox would baulk slightly going into first when cold.
Had a first gen 123D M Sport as a daily and work car. Covered 23k in a year sold it with over 140k on. Never had an issue, pretty nippy and 60MPG
I have a 120d, 2010 - timing chain was done. Usual wear on other things, shocks, control arms. Clutch and flywheel needed doing when timing chain was done. Been driving it like stink since then and not an issue.... oh, EGR went. I did the timing chain preventatively with a good BMW indy here in Dublin, Ireland. that was 60k miles ago. I service it every 4000 miles myself. Timing chain doesn't make a squeak now even on very cold start. Personally, I think they're a great car. Defo better than a VW golf TDI as RWD. Major issues been dealt with on mine - will get wear and tear prob on suspension components but engine and gearbox solid.
I had a petrol. I had issues with that engine. Mind you i did like the look of it and it handles really well. Cabin is very conservative but it reeks quality
Love reading the comments! So many insights and experiences!
I have a 118i, almost had it for a year now and no issues yet atleast. But it's been serviced regularly and previous owners were only older people who as you say probably had it for it's size. I understand what you mean with the engine I will most likely stage 1 tune it so it gets up to about 210hp and 300 nM. I do like that it's easy to switch out the infotainment, I got an android auto/apple carplay screen and it was plug and play, idrive system still works to control it, really brings the car into 2022 imo.
Great video as always Matt!
first time buyer here would you recommend getting a 118i as a car
@@user-sr9tk7qh3p 2 years in it has only had 1 issue where the wire from the door handle snapped in the dead of winter. Depending on what you want from a car it's really good.
My missus loves hers. Msport 118d auto, soft white leather seats, cheap insurance, £20+ road tax (my 520d is £530 ish). Apart from the washer bottle clogged up, never any problems. Wouldn't want one myself, but it has it's place.
180d 😅
I've had two 120D's autos in the last ten years and never got anyway near 70 mpg and I drive sensibly on the North of Scotland's empty roads! 52 or 53 nearer the mark. I'm currently driving a 220i auto coup which is averaging 37.5 mpg so not near BMW'S figures. I've had 4 small BM's in my time and all have been reliable. I've always changed the oil annually and had a major service every two years. The footwell on the one series manual is cramped and the pedals are offset, the auto solves this problem.
I have a 2019 118i Sport. I switched from a Golf as had nothing but problems with its electrics. I do agree that the rear is smaller compared to others in its class but for what I use it for its perfect. I test drove an A class, A3 and Fiesta and found the BMW to be best for handling and comfort. The A class felt to cheep and the A3 was very boring to drive compared to the BMW
I second this. I test drove an A-Class 180d at the same time as my 120i M-Sport LCI, and the A-Class drove way worse, and felt much cheaper inside. Seemed to have poorly set-up damping too.
Another good video Matt. Will be looking at changing cars next summer. 135i/140i is on my list to look at. Had a 335i and a 735i so with you in the 6/8 cylinder engines. Anyone got any other ideas on what to look at? Also have 435i on my list, and 6 series. Open to other makes though...cheers Mark
i'd stay away from the 35i and look at something with the 40i badge, the b58 has so far been proven to be a much better engine than the n55 it seems
Honest as always 👍🏼😊
Thanks for the review, appreciate your honesty. In fairness I think just as many people buy A class merc’s for the badge alone, but at least the 1 series model you review is rear wheel drive. I’m considering a 118d to replace a 320d saloon due to obvious lower running costs and can’t cope with the impractical boot much longer with lack of folding seats! If I could afford to run a beamer with a straight six petrol engine I would but for me so far the 4 pot diesels are fine for every day driving.
Great informative video Matt. My condolences on that gearbox rebuild. I did find it funny though when you said you done it to avoid grief. 😉🙃👍
I should know better than to sell to family & friends 😂
@@HighPeakAutos I love my family, but there's times I wish I was an orphan. 🙄
Any thoughts on these in comparison to a Mazda 3? I've test driven both as I'm in the market for a new hatchback and for the price I much the Mazda - the petrol engines feel peppier for the price and you get way more for you money in terms of extra bells and whistles.
Hate to say but I think I'll be dropping the BMWs off my shortlist for now. A Golf, Audi A3 or Mazda 3 just look like better options to me currently.
Hey matt why haven’t you done a video with a peugeot 308?
I always thought they were a nice looking, comfortable car.
would like to know your thoughts on it
You mention the kia proceed what is your opinion of them? Or the kia ceed sport wagon which is near enough the same vehicle
I've got the F22 218i which has the 3 cylinder 1.5L petrol and I must say when you put it in sport mode it gives quite enough power even at 134hp (although I could get it remapped to nearly 170hp). Funny you mention about the young driver thing, I'm only 20 but I'm booking it in for an oil and brake fluid change next week :D I should also add that at just over 40k miles and it being a 66 plate nothing has gone wrong so far touch wood.
Good stuff. Keep looking after it and it might be fine
Might 😂
I’ve got an F22 2 series with the 2.0l diesel and it’s given me all sorts of issues, turbo change, dpf change, oil leaks, holes in the engine manifold, break change and I’ve not even got around to the timing changing or the 8 speed box 😂😖
@@tapportugalpilot What's the mileage out of interest?
@@seanglossop4777 110,000
My grandson had the diesel 2 ltre version the timing chain went on it he had to replace the engine trouble is the chain. Is at the back of the engine so it has to be removed to replace it unlike most cars that have a cam belt that are easily replaced
Thats right
@@HighPeakAutos hi thanks for your message what do I do now
It’s this sort of car that makes me forget the badge. I ended up buying a swift sport that has been near bulletproof, sure the badge isn’t worth much but the car is really nice to drive and is uber reliable. Qualities that should be in every car.
I agree.
As a former owner of a F20 be it the LCI model I have to disagree with much of what you said. It is a cracking little car and with right engine it can be reliable and entertaining and I am not just talking about the M140i. I would avoid any with the 3 cylinder Mini engine in it though. It is the best to drive compared to the A Class or A3, the A class might have a snazzier interior but the quality is better in the F20. The only real downside is less room inside compared to its rivals. Should add mine was the 7 speed ZF auto which is a brilliant box and personally I wouldn’t touch a manual in any BMW or Mercedes, these cars are just better suited to auto boxes.
It's a BMW engine which is used in Minis rather than the BMW "using a Mini engine". The 3-cyl 1.5L petrol is more than adequate and produces quite enough power for everyday driving.
On a similar vein Matt, I’m in the game for a Mk7.5 Golf Gti. I’ve seen you’ve done the chav edition R but how about the better car ? Great video as usual 🙂
a company i used to work for had them as company cars for 3 years thay had about 30 of them one did have an engine blow but thay didnt have any major probs and the reps were doing 25000 miles plus a year i brought a 120d m sport coupe off them and had it for 3 years sold it when it hit 100000 and had no probs
My Wife has a 2012 118d Convertible. Its a base model ie cloth seats plastic steering wheel etc. However it looks ok and with the top down even better. Its definitley not fast buts for a soft top its quiet. The main positive thing is economy, around town around 45 mpg, on a recent trip to France at 130kmh it still does nearly 60mpg. So far no issues after nearly 8 years of ownership.
@Joe mamma We had to change the Battery but apart from service parts no problems!
Agreed I really gotta say these BMW 4-cylinder diesels are not comparable to an A-Class of that time..
Love this videos!!! I bought my Lexus RX400h with a little push from you ❤️
great cars the RX
You are mostly right concerning the N20 engine. The newer B38 is a different story - also in the 3rd gen. Mini
Can anyone who has owned both the 1 series and 3 series share their feedback on pros and cons please?
All Matt's criticisms of the 1 series (engines, gearbox and interior) could equally apply to the 3 series, since they share a lot of them, so i'd be grateful for actual owners views on any differences besides the size.😊
I’d like to know too
very enjoyable thanks 🙂
Nice vlog what a relief after the Beatle
Fair review. They do steer nicely though even lower power version. Rare to have Bluetooth music on the pre lci like that one so must have been specd up.
Really great video! Please do a review on the BMW X1. Cheers!
I have a 2014 116i auto 5 door bought new, its been well looked after by me with 43,000 miles on the clock and regularly serviced by BMW. Its been very reliable with no problems between services. I down sized from a 3 series and do miss the xexon headlights I had before because the halogens really let it down on country roads. True its not roomy in the rear and the boot could be bigger, but for two people its enough most of the time. The 8 speed auto is a gem and makes the car a pleasure to drive. The ride is firm on run flats but road holding is good.
If I change it it will be another BMW auto which I have driven on business and privately for 23 years.
Quality filmed video Matt - if you see what I mean 👍🏼
I’ve never driven a ‘good’ car. Been looking for months now to upgrade. Looked at 1 series and a3. What do we suggest?
I own a 1 series 116d Efficient Dynamics for the last 7 years, it has now 164 thousand km, and it runs with a chip tuning from 85 thousand km, it was and still is faultless, if you service it in a timely manner it shouldn't cause any problems or issues, it don't believe it's in itself an unreliable car, maybe bad maintenance, and also don't agree that you need a big engine version to put a smile on your face on a twisty road, but that is my own opinion. Cheers
Now thats a great video .
Would it be more sensible to buy 3 series instead?
So true about the 1 series, and all the other premium small cars
Shocking thanks matt
I had a 2012 120d SE as a company car. I drove it from brand new for about 3ish years and did about 50k miles if i remember correctly. The only thing i had to have done on top of servicing was 5 new tyres lol. It had great mpg and pulled quite well (0 to 60 in just over 7 seconds). My only complaint was the seats; I was not in a good way after a long drive! Interestingly my other option was a Lexus CT200h and it was a tough choice.
would be interested to hear your thoughts on the 6 series gt, got my eye on the 630d
