That rear seats space is the only thing putting me off getting one of these. Apart from that it's a sweet little hatch. Good video man, you went through all the things that most people want to know about. kudos!
dont buy the 2017 buy the new 2019 or a series 2. that car body comes already from 2012 like mine. if you have a lil it more money buy a moe modern bmw its like paying more expensive for a new iphone when its exactly the same as the old one.
Nice video mate I have the same car in m sport trim but mine is 3 door and it’s auto one of the best auto gearboxes mine is a 65 plate and the road tax is only 30 pounds
They are easy to slide if you turn off all the driver aids ! but the electronics do a good job at keeping everything pointing in the right direction. Having said that, most RWD BMW owners keep a set of winter tyres to swap onto, if they live in the North.
@@life_on_cars North East region here.... Winters tend to be more wet then a dumping of snow , if so it might last a few days ! For some reason the 120d market seems to be cheaper than the 118d ?!
Buying one for my girlfriend this weekend. Im more into older BMWs but I was testdriving one the other day and this was the very very first thing I noticed haha, REALLY annoying! This was not the case in an F30 or any other BMW I've owned haha
@@bySumar I was wondering if more BMW F series suffered from the same. There is a way no compromise, but the sooner you adjust the steering up/down or move the seat, you’re done 😂

the ball-on-a-string is a neat parking trick
I’ve got the same car, when my warranty expired I retrofitted the cruise control. Really easy to do, just need the new buttons and the coding tool.
I guess I am kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Rhys Ethan Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

Did you do that yourself? If so, what guide did you use?
thanks a lot for the video, it is helpful
Thanks for a good review.
.. still looking at the 1 series! How did the 120d hold up in wet / wintery conditions? Does it have too ,much torque to be able to control the rear?

Hey thanks for the video, how did you find the gearshift? smooth to use? thanks
It shifts really well
Hi nice review you say you're 6ft I'm 6'3 all legs would you say it's a comfortable car for tall people?
Yes as long as you are sat in front !
@@life_on_cars Thanks.
Im thinking of buying a 2016 bmw 116d m-sport. Whats ur opinion on that?
Go for it , just check it's been serviced properly
Love a manual!!
125d vs 120d which one do you recommend
Thanks
Never driven a 125 sorry
Nice video man
How much were the tinted windows?
A friend of mine does tints so he did them cheap, normally about £150
That’s an F20 LCI not an F20. There is a difference
Correct well spotted
Which one? Please😬
