Bayerische Motoren Werke!!! 1 series is definitely value for money. Normal service isn’t as costly as many think. Filter and air cleaner element set is approx 7k then it needs 4.2L of synthetic oil 25k km interval. I noticed you are driving it with very low fuel - for BMW if you want heartburns drive with low fuel. The general rule is don’t let fuel go below quarter. Ground clearance can be increased to a max of 157mm using a different type of suspension. The Japanese set is 153 I think. Great work, with a CK
@@EnuaAfrica this is very true. I think what can be very costly for German cars are body parts (headlamps, windscreen etc) but the usual parts/consumables are fairly priced
To be honest these car is the best in performance and everything. I am planning to own it. Nimeogopa hapo kwa reliability eti lazima upate the BEST BMW technician na wengi ni wa probox na mazda.. Cjui itakua aje but for real these car is the best and powerful in performance and everything. I drove it once na niliskia kulia na nilale tuh ndani nisirudishie mwenyewe...

Hi Erick.. I wish you could introduce a comparison session in your youtube channel where you compare competitive cars..stating there pros and cons..value for money..reliability etc..for example...You would have compared this to a golf...Then finally picking your best pick...what you would have gone for...Otherwise, you doing a great job and I'm a great fan of you....I have been going to my friends phones and tvs and made sure they have subscribed to this channel💯💯💯💥
Wow, wow, wow… 🫡 This is a perfect review on BMW 116i F20. I love this video. Long live my brother 🙌🙌🙌 I wish I could understand Swahili. I am having the same toy since 2019 up to date. I never experienced any problem with this toy. The only problem I encountered last year 2021 September was a Drivetrain malfunction warning light that popped up while I was on board. Since I replaced the four ignition coils and the spark plugs, I had never experienced any problem. I am happy to come across this review. A blessed day ahead. From Namibia 🇳🇦
I love this car and it’s on my list for my first car. But I’m kidogo scared of possibly facing issues with it. I also have the auris and Mazda axela on my list - those two seem to have better reliability according to word on the street. Lakini the BMW looks like the most fun to drive out of them all.
I love your smile, and vile unasmeanga carnvercitamol always brightens my day. Hebu mupload part 2 ya jana aki. People may dis BMWs for being unreliable, but niliinga 3series. Those things are fun, and I'm a Mercedes fan boy
superb content our carnversologist ...the fuel economy is on another level with this car....would rate this car in terms of power and fun to drive with volkswagen golf gti mk7....otherwise am waiting for my hood hehe ...your trivia was easily predictable this time round
Subtitles for swahili bits since you are international. Love your car reviews and clinic centre push more videos with subtitles please so we learn swahili
@Erik @CARNVERSATIONS Correction on jump-starting as you stated, actually jump-starting directly from the battery is advised against as it might cause damage to some modules, there are terminals at the engine bay for that as I know you are aware of....#CARNVERSATIONS
Thank you for the information bro, what I actually meant is when you needed to jumpstart your friend the battery is at the back but I know there are terminal under the bonnet for jumpstarting the car itself
Mtu wa camera aliangusha kiasi hakua anafuatana na wewe so sometimes we cant see what you're showing or rather explaining but good job. Also the Ibra section is good about things to like and not to like. Very innovative. Good content 😅😅 after every carnvecetamol we usually end up feeling very informed talking to other people like specialists.
Awesome review as usual. Do you mind talking about why the Merc A180/200 are not available in the Kenyan market? I have searched for the Gen 3 2012/13 models with nothing to write home about
wow..so many comments on the beamer....its a pleasant small beast ..one day.. could you do a review of Volvo V 40 and compare say with the 1 series, VW golf and other hot hatches in its category. very informative review.. good job as always
Love your videos, but the thumbnails are not visible, and it's quite hard to know what the video is about unless someone reads the title. which I believe should not be the case...but to 100k subs and beyond...🔥🔥
Aaaaa hapo kwa kujump start umeanguka mtihani my friend. The battery is in the boot yes, but you jumpo start it from the hood/bonet/engine area. There is a positive and negative/earth port for jump starting. Jump starting from the boot can cause problems
@@CARNVERSATIONS I believe all BMWs have a specific jumpm start points in the hood/bonet. I've never had to jump start using battery. It's always good to check user's manual for your specific model but I believe for BMWs there are specific points other than the battery to jump start from or with.
The fuel economy on this car is surprisingly good. Did I mention the sound system and infotainment? DAMN!❤️🤩🤩🤩 Back in Nov I drove from Msa to Malindi and back on 1500 fuel. Na ilibaki. Shida ni the battery. Costs 25k. So take care of it. And also don't do wheel changes at any mechanic. Otherwise you'll mess up with the sensors kwa miguu. And troubleshooting will cost you. But for me, my choice Beamer 🤩
It's a great car sadly I have to let mine go it's a 2013(KDA) if anyone is interested let me know and the reason for selling is I need to upgrade it limits you to places of travel
@@CARNVERSATIONS kuna jamaa alihamia neighbourhood yetu ako na ya blue. Kananyamba mpaka moto buana. But I guess ziko kama tatu hivi Kenya if I'm not wrong.
wewe Wokabi unajua kuhusu M140i kweli? Coz unasema aty other cars in its lineage are touring, seriously?...explore its real version of hot hatches. M140i & M135i are the most bmw hot hatches with about 3xx Hp...HUA UNATULETEA VERY LIGHT VERSIONS OF BMW...which translates to poor comparision with other of its competitors.
You got it all wrong, the money is yours you can choose to enjoy your ride regardless of the issues in a fancy, awesome beast or save it and have a basic reliable problem free demio. Whatever you choose doesn't change the fact that it will eat your money tuko together SASA?. On this particular common issues include failure of the VANOS system (very expensive to fix), proshaft and power steering but if you can pay for it why not
I actually love VW's I only don't like their overall almost pathetic reliability ratings but away from that they are super awesome machines to drive and enjoy

Good points.
Good quality service part costs are similar across many car models. I actually think JDM genuine service parts are priced higher
@@EnuaAfrica this is very true. I think what can be very costly for German cars are body parts (headlamps, windscreen etc) but the usual parts/consumables are fairly priced

Very true fun to drive go for the BIMA, reliability go for the auris or axela, value for money pick the axela
Which did u ultimately buy

I have the 1 series E87 2011, and I can confirm that the car is very reliable.
Yes a very fantastic little beast
I do too, looking for someone to do some tunning, can you recommend
Hey, mine is 2010 and is not picking up speed...when I floor it fully, it reaches 7/1000rpm 😭
Very fine machine. I was waiting for this alot. 🙏🏾

Very fine content.. Erick. Could you also do a review on the 3 series 2009-2011 model
Desiring a car and this or the axela were on my list. Very well explained.
Done 3 years of sheer driving experience with this car in mombasa. no regrets at all.
Awesome machine, she is a little cute beast
Should I reconsider this niachane na Audi a3? I gave up trying to find the Merc A180, 1 that is in my price range. I saw one going for 2.8m minus tax
How’s the maintenance costs
Beast of all time atlist akuna kushikilia bonet na mkwaju

Wokabi, can you add ground clearance test when reviewing cars please.
Noted thanks
At last i was eagerly waiting for this car’s review
Erick do a comparison of Nissan NV 350 and Toyota hiace tafathali..

Hi Wokabi, would you mind introducing the approximate cost of insuring the car in the Kenyan Market across your reviews? TIA
I really enjoyed watcching this
You should do a review of the Volkswagen UP
Good job. Keep it up.
Thank you
Waiting for LacerEx-local review
How much is the car?
Hi Wakabi great review. Hii Bima itaingia kwa Likoni ferry ⛴? Ground clearance will it disappoint?
Definitely ground clearance kidogo iko chini but we can always do something about it at the auto clinic
you promised to do a practical video on the tire repair kit.... kindly kumbuka
Excellent stuff 👍
Love your videos, but the thumbnails are not visible, and it's quite hard to know what the video is about unless someone reads the title. which I believe should not be the case...but to 100k subs and beyond...🔥🔥

Una jumpstart from mbele my friend, kuna connectors pale
True lakini ukitaka kujump start gari ingine? Unachapa na hapo nyuma ama vipi
@@CARNVERSATIONS there is sometimes a warning not to jumpstart directly from the battery because of the BMS
As compared to audi in its category which is better

116i is not a hot hatch and when you got to the ZF8HP is not as reliable as a DSG i had to turn off , never heard so much bull.
