I bought the BMW 118i M Sport Shadow Edition in Sunset orange metallic Orange, gorgeous colour. Nice to see someone doing subtle mods to the car! Can't wait for the automatic boot struts to be back in stock to get those!
Got myself a 2016 116D for my first car, stupidly good on fuel, fast enough (at the moment) I do kind of regret not going for the Msport as mines the regular sport but cheap upgrades and selling the previous parts, full black Msport alloys, tinted windows, black badges and alloy caps, debadged the boot, and will upgrade the wing mirror lights like yours Tempted to do a leather interior swap at a later date
Mint video, I agree with everything you said, the run flats are uncomfortable and noisy, it’s great how you linked all of your footage together like that, well done 👍
What’s your opinion on the new 1 series? I prefer the old one that had the rwd setup but do own a new shape f40 the fwd one as I had the opportunity to own one and see what it was like. I’m currently looking at either a 2 series or a mini cooper.
Pay of your car first, trust me it's so much better, I made the mistake of buying kids for mine and then money because an issue and I almost couldn't afford the repayment and almost list my vxr. Mods it when you have more experience
cinematics at the end look dope also with the older bmw you could have probably faced lifted it but it might have been too much work and as you mentioned you only want to keep this car for a certain amount of time so yeah
I’ve got a 2018 118i shadow edition bro got my camera last week and going to be making content like yourself bro, love watching your creativity and growth it’s inspiring tbh
Please don’t get a racechip or tuning box. Had one in my previous mini and it just wasn’t performing so I took it to an actual tuning place and it only produced an extra 16hp at peak. Definitely get it mapped they can adjust a lot more and get the best out of your car. Just had my 120D mapped and got an extra 49hp so its 230 now.
I definitely will mate in the future but I’ve still got warranty so don’t want to touch the ECU yet, I’ll just use the piggy back chip for now and also I’m getting one for a good deal with a follower
Brett Barnes watch darkside developments video on tuning box vs remaps racechip is probably one of the worst ones to use he goes through a few big brands so that’s always worth a watch if you are deciding for a box
Interesting watching your vids mate.. I have a white 65 plate m135i stage 2 mhd.. love it... Few mods I may do. struts and change the plates.. Ive upgraded my idrive unit to a 10.5" android unit, great upgrade from the small screen.. keep the vids coming
Personally wouldn't bother with a piggy back module, all they do is trick the ECU with false figures, the ECU will eventually learn from this as its running like that all the time and degrade the tune. If you're worried about your warranty then something like MHD or most reputable tuners can lock the DME of the ECU again and map it back to stock, yes BMW may well be able to tell if its been mapped but most normal garages won't. At the end of the day, you will be getting marginal gains, personally I'd be saving the money for a future upgrade into a bimmer with a 3.0l S55 engine like mine ;) Keep up the videos mate everyones got to start somewhere and do what makes you happy but thats just a little bit of my thoughts
Wouldn’t get a race chip. Rather go with a proper tune on a dyno. These LCI ones don’t get too much power. The previous Gen 114i got 220bhp on a stage 1 tune
@@BrettBarnesYT Hey Brett, just had a quick question as I noticed your car's the same. Your steering wheel has the lim switch function. Does the 1 series only come with the ability to limit the maximum speed you can drive at, or does this limit function allow for cruise control too? Just wondering. Cheers!
Craig Slingsby you know what I’m not actually sure mate! Never used it can’t imagine it’s the cruise control as you set a limit on that normally and it doesn’t go over really
Enjoyed your video. Just wanted to mention that the range seen on the dash relates to your driving at that point, in other words if you continued to drive as you were on the video you would achieve that range, but if your right foot started to get heavier that figure would go down. On my m140i it tells me on filling up I will achieve 310 - 330, average, but invariable on my next fill it ends up as having done less than 300 miles because of my driving style.
Just get a proper stage 1 remap with like a BMC sport airfilter. Get it done by a company that knows what they're doing and actually tune it on the dyno mate
Really want to buy a 2013 1 series 68k miles for 7.5k… everyone says no because financially it’s the bad decision and I’ll be taking a loan out for 3 years for it…
You should get a safe remap witch is a safe remap and does not blow up the ECU and gives around 30 bhp with is a bit more power but not a lot but you could get a stage 1 remap with gives it 50 bhp and gives it a little bit more chance of blowing it and if you have Automatic gear box you could tune that as well to shift faster but if you do remap there all ways a risk of some thing getting burnt or a part not working and make shore you get it remapped some were that does its job good. Remaps one of the thing about it it makes so you engine uses less fuel mor economic
Rather than forking out to but an M140i, you could map the 118i to a stage 2 map which will increase the power and whole feel of the car drastically. Could even fit a better induction kit with a higher quality intercooler and change the injectors. Would be a lot cheaper than purchasing a whole new car just to go fast in, you would also be worried driving an M140 fast as its an expensive car and its your pride and joy, I personally dont think you or many others in your position would use it to its fully potential. Even if you did modify the 118i you could go even further to purchase a new car as a 'daily' which could be bone stock saving the 118 as a weekend car/ toy. Sorry if you take any offence to this :/ but yeh i think that is something i would consider if I was in your same position :)
£370 for a bloody side mirror, this is why I am happy that I have the mechanical ability to work on my own cars, for a bloody mirror which literally just sticks on, that is bloody daylight robbery, utterly disgusting of you ask me 🤣🤣🤣
Also, if you want to have a look at bmw RUclips videos on mods and stuff I definitely recommend watch Mat Armstrong, have a look on his channel and at his playlists and look at the 1 series, may give you a few ideas. Definitely recommend watching him really good content aswell
AP Tech the thing is I know the previous owner and know where it’s been etc! Also fully history, great spec, cheap insurance and low mileage ect! Win win
Great 1 series video. Cant believe it was Spotify ( nightmare.) keep posting. We just did a 1 series and was impressed with the just the 1.6 Diesel. Out of interest which Face lift do you prefer the 2016 or 2021?
well you dont want to go too far with that engine, its only a 1.5 petrol, stretching it too far will probably make the fuel economy quite bad an add a load of fuel expenses
I can’t recommend a tuning box, look at Dark side developments video on the tuning box dyno comparison, they won’t provide anywhere close to claimed figures. I think you made the right and mature decision, though it’s just a 118i, has no pro nav, electric seats, HK sound but you’re not living above your means, my friend has an M140i and we are the same age as you, not going into the details but it’s a huge financial burden. Think you’re doing the right thing, hope you don’t end up getting carried away with mods because in the best way possible it is a 118i, I think it would be more worthwhile if you paid off the car first and save the extra money for when you get your M2/140i because you will get these cars, it’s just a matter of time :) that’s just my opinion though
I have a series 1 M sport 118D had it 6 years now DTS light coming on especially when turning left is that a sensor on one of the wheels ?yes my car does brilliantly on fuel, my car is diesal
12:56 sounds familiar haha. But did you know that the very early lci's still had this engine for a few months? So if you where lucky you could find a 116i, 118i lci with the 4 cilinder. The 3 cilinder is the main reason i stayed away from the lci though😅 since i wanted a bit more power. They do sound nice though
did someone know how i step next or back one track in my playlist using bluetooth from idrive or wheels on my bmw 120i 2015? i'am getting nuts need to pick-up my smartphone to change it while driving
Brett Barnes stay clear off them mate, they’re downloaded files/maps not specifically made for your car, engine gearbox etc, don’t take the risk and just get a decent map
Yeah I definitely would but I’ve still got warranty so don’t want to touch the ECU yet! However, when that’s ended I’ll definitely go get a stage 1 tune at a proper company
Yeah I would do but I’ve currently got warranty so I’d prefer a piggy back ECU and also I’m getting one at a good price. The thing is I’ve heard that normal stage 1’s ruin your car after time. I think no matter people do it will
Yea 100% a car isn’t meant to be tweaked it’s just for the fun factors that people get it done if I was you I wouldn’t add any more power save up more and more and eventually get a powerful car like marzbar has done that you don’t need to tweak
So I’m 18 I’ve been driving 1 year and 9 month I lost my ncb because my car broke and life got hard but this year I’m garenteed 1years ncb will this car be chesp to insure because I really want one just not sure on it it’s the lowest in the catagory out of Audi bmw and merc
firstly can you afford it? Are your parents helping with paying for it? If you’re on like 18k a year and paying for it yourself I’d say domt even think about getting an expensive finance and your first car is always the one you’re most likely to crash. I wrote off a shitty fiesta within 2 months of passing my test. So glad I bought a banger because even after passing your test you’re still learning to drive
Michael Stewart Id recommend using a private seller for smaller, cheaper cars because they are more likely to be honest and upfront. Dealers/traders normally have dodgy mots and what not and overcharge.
I think you over paid a lot almost 13k for a manual gearbox and not much extras like HK audio or Pro Nav... I think 11.5k is more reasonable valuation considering its in good nick
@@BrettBarnesYT i think you paid the higher end of market if I'm honest mate, if you fished around you could of got a better deal. I've seen 65 plate LCI BMW 320D XDrives with average mileage and FSH and very good condition for around £13.7k it's just about waiting for the right deal
pay off the car first

Autotrader and use a dealer not a private seller so if it breaks within first 6 months you get them to fix it :)

My 120d 15 plate consumes the same
What type of 1 series is it and what year
118i 2016
If this is your second car which car was your first ? Cheers
Vauxhall corsa 1.2 2006 mate
@@BrettBarnesYT Thank you mate :)
Looking for my first car any recommendations?
😍😍😍🥵 beautiful car mate ..
Thanks man!!
How old r u love the vids
I think you over paid a lot almost 13k for a manual gearbox and not much extras like HK audio or Pro Nav... I think 11.5k is more reasonable valuation considering its in good nick
Full service history, immaculate inside and out and low mileage so not that bad
Sun roof is a nice option though 👌
MAI 100% couldn’t really go back
@@BrettBarnesYT i think you paid the higher end of market if I'm honest mate, if you fished around you could of got a better deal. I've seen 65 plate LCI BMW 320D XDrives with average mileage and FSH and very good condition for around £13.7k it's just about waiting for the right deal
Yeah but I knew the previous owner and know it was looked after!
Race chips are dead bro, just get a proper remap done to it but it’s ur choice
Yeah I was just trying it, haven’t kept it
Brett Barnes good choice! We need a video once you’ve got a proper tune done
Yeah 100%
Mevagissey? Big up!😆
Yeah mate ahha
audi s3 is always an option too lol
Nah
how long did it take you to find this deal (car)?
a couple months but luckily just came up
What car even is it?
i rate you get a m240i instead of the 140
Yeah might do man!
Brett Barnes I’m just watching the race chip vid it rlly does make a big difference
Looks like Cornwall to me 👀
It is mate ☺️
