Have one my self, same color and similar spec, 218d. Pretty fun only complaint is the auto gearbox, a little bit boring specially since it doesn’t have paddle shifters, but overall a great fun little car imo
I recently purchased a 218d too and I have to say my first taste of BMW is a good one I love this car but I'd agree the auto gearbox without the paddles is a minor gripe but I can live with it, coming from a Mk7 GTI I'd say my golf overall was a better car but the fuel was atrocious on it but the beemer is fantastic for mpg
It's pretty good. The smaller alloys on this versus the M-Sport make it more relatively comfortable. Damping was good, and suspension not too firm. Body controlled well, and actually relatively fun too.
now this video is 2 years on mate could you say anything that has changed your mined yet as im looking into getting one any bad points to no about engine wise or anything els cheers bud ?
I've got a 218i Sport. Always puts a smile on my face driving it on my mundane daily commute.
That's what you need from a car
I got the 220d convertible, great car. For me one of the most beautifull bmw’s ever
The 2-Series from this generation is an excellent blend of performance, poise and playfulness.

Glad you're enjoying yours, thanks for watching!

6:30 describes the owner pretty well
😂🤣😂
Well done mate, you just answered the question I posted before I read the comments thoroughly!
Great balance review 👍👍
Thank you!
I wish we had this in our country. We only get the latest 2 series
It's a great little car - the newest generation of 2-series coupe does drive just as well, but it isn't as pretty to look at! 🤣
Would you have this or the Jaguar XE?
Now you're asking a good question
Come on! Ones got BMW badge on it. We know your game, fanboy!
Great review but I actually wanted to know how the SE handles/ride comfort/handles bumps.

@@BuckleUpShow Many thanks, I'm buying one.
Great to know, you'll enjoy it I'm sure! 😁
Great real world review, cheers 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! 😁
I'm just not sure I can manage without getting to see some B-roll of the boot
Imagine the boot of a BMW 2-Series and you’re pretty much there

The owner who lent us this car still has this car, so he's clearly still happy with it
@@BuckleUpShow thanks for the reply
love the French engine joke
Jasper doesn’t like the Renault A-Class
5’7 and a half? Did you ask Rebecca Jackson if you could add a half 😂
Only short people add the ‘half’ on 😂
If anyone is wondering why there is a jump cut at 4:11 it was to cut out me calling Jasper a fanboy
It was the right thing to do
Am I the only one that saw Twatt?
That’s not a very nice thing to call Jasper
@@BuckleUpShow lol. Sorry Jasper!
Colour me surprised! Jasper likes a BMW 🙄
😱
why is harry potter reviewing a bmw ?
Because his Nimbus 2000 snapped
It appears you've never seen Inbetweeners.
His Firebolt had to go in for servicing and this was the complementary transportation method offered whilst it was in the workshop.
Will is happy to report his briefcase fits in the boot.
