First of all, thank you to all of you guys that speak English when it is not your first language as it helps us lazy to learn languages English people appreciate your enthusiasm for your cars and driving. Also, this car in particular is a great example of not over powering your chassis. Sometimes less is more. 😎💪
@@fist_bump Oh, for sure. It's really hard to maintain a second language if you live in your native country and have nobody to practice it with. That's why I'm jealous of Polyglots or people who have similar skills and motivations.
You can tell the owners English isn't his first language, but hell, it doesn't stop him putting in more effort than the whole of England combined! What a top bloke!
I really enjoy the variety of cars being driven on your channel. Gives us a great insight and inspiration on what kind of car we should eventually buy or modify! Thank you!
I'm having fun with all your videos of course, all the personalities and all kind of cars from 500€ to 200k+€. But it's been some time since I've seen really nice owner + amazing car combination. Today, I've sat here quietly. Thank you Misha and Max! What a lap!
@@papapetad i think he’s done a megane trophy R already ruclips.net/video/YXWaFaB5NPo/видео.html and if you search for « misha charoudin megan » you get a few others megane 3 and 4
Wrong wheel drive, not a BMW. Not that rwd modern bmws are much good either. Cylinder count isn't an issue. 3 cylinders are quite alright. BMW has become far too Chinese.
Good effort by the owner to bring his comments in English. So good. Wow. The second part of this lap, particularly the last 10 corners or so , just wow. So much momentum being carried. amazing driving skills
Great content as always from a very good driver. I love seeing the passenger expressions as they hurtle towards corners and hang on for dear life with the forces through to the next straight where Misha unleashes the car with maximum attack. Brilliant.
Bit late to the party, but huge thanks to the owner for speaking English for us, really nice set up & another great lap, just started a new job so can't stay up late to watch the drops sooner, Rj in Oz
Great to watch and I commend Max for trying to explain fundamental details of his car in English. A really enjoyable lap and driving Misha and as you say you can go faster with less hp when the car is balanced like Max’s BMW.🌟😄👍
Great car - reliable - no limp mode, no warning lights, no overheating. A few sensible "grip" and brake mods is all it needs. BMW must know what they're doing hey?
You should just drive it. I own a 128ti myself and I fucking love it! A little less power, full front wheel drive, but also a little lighter and it is just as fun to drive as a Japanese front wheel driver! Just throwing it around in corners
Absolutely amazing car. The balance was out of this world. I was seriously shocked at how well it took each corner. Tires, brakes and suspension go a very long way! Hats off to the gentleman that allowed you to drive it.
Kudo's to the owner! Great car! Knows his stuff! Tries his best in English! I own a 128ti myself because I feel the price difference between M135i and 128ti is too big for what you get in return, but that is just my personal opinion. I've driven front wheelers all my life and the 128ti is just as great as other higher power front wheel hatchbacks
This maybe has to be the best setup car I've seen on the channel in the last few videos I've been watching to be honest. Plus, this was all done in DSC off :o
nice owner, nice car and overall good video like evertime. With your Videos i see that it doesnt matter who is driving on the ring, we are all the same!
A very enjoyable lap with good driving. Just missed some subtitles here and there when the owner wasn't speaking English. I also understand subtitles can be a PITA.
Definitely enjoying my M135 at the moment , does everything well not perfect but as a daily vehicle I cant really fault it, especially with my MTB on the roof its ideal, just needs another 20-30hp..
These daily uploads are great I feel I know the track more with every video 😂 to the point where to brake and turn in 😂 different story when I attempt it in person ! Look forward to coming to the ring ! Great video
I think its better to have 200KG less than 200HP more. Suspension is the most important thing imo (im not a racing driver). Lots of people just slap stage 2 on a car first. Seen people with sedans that had 4 cylinder with 600hp and everything stock. Stock steel brakes that were made to handle 150hp.
Great video buddy. Love the ByFactory body kit on the awesome yellow & black Peugeot 308 Gti right at the start of the video Misha. Would love Love LOVE to see you take that on-track. Would be epic for this very limited edition car 👌💙👍
Hey Misha, I like your videos so much and I'm always waiting to see what you will drive next. Can I ask you for 2 videos I really wanna see from you? The first one is "behind the scenes", I would be happy to see how you film your videos, how you prepare the car with the cameras and what gear you use. And the second one is very interesting to me, how did you start as a driver and as RUclipsr as well, and tips from you on how to start racing and what you actually need to do it??
I love how the passenger is breathing heavily trying to absorb every tiny bit of that oxygen he just inhaled. As they say, Misha's driving takes your breath away.
Got m135i, only 3000 miles on the clock but car is bonkers. Got it brand new. Seriously a lot of fun. Could sound better but for £500 q months band new full option, hard to get something elses
Should I trade my 2018 m240i for one of these? Love my car. Interior and exterior I think it's beautiful looking. It's very fast. But I can't say the handling is that confidence inspiring. Test drove the m135i xdrive and the handling really blew me away. I think I'm more about handling than outright speed.
like my grand father always said , she need some meat and those tires are magic on the road, its the only thing that touch the ground I don't get people racing with shit tires, it improve literally every aspect of the car.
I used to drive a lot of motorcycles, and when "kicking tires" with other motorcyclists its "interesting" to see how little some people think of their tired. I've seen 6-8 year old tires that owners didn't want to change, because "the thread was still fine".. Tires that old makes all motorcycles feel like driving on glass, not fun :)
It's interesting to see the variety of cars, and I love seeing you handle cars and see what cars can do with someone who knows what they're doing and know the road well. But it's when seeing you in a car like this the difference becomes obvious, it looks so much faster and smoother when you're in a car that doesn't seem like it's trying to kill you :P And refreshing to see one that doesn't go into limp mode halfway through, or start losing brakes if it had them to begin with... Do you get a lot of people who seem to have solely focused on adding power and think they now have a track car? There is a surprising amount of the cars you test who don't seem to have brakes that handle track use at all, is it because you push the car harder than the owner does, so they don't notice the problem themselves? Either way I'm learning at least, I knew brakes were important, but I generally had only thought about pads and rotors, not remembering the brake fluid itself can boil too, or that some calipers can just not be meant for more than stopping in traffic. So it's kinda put in my mind that if I end up modifying my car at some point, even if it's a boring car, brakes, suspension, and tires, would be the spots to focus first, I'd always been of the mind that suspension should come before adding power of any sort, as well as tires, but seeing these videos has highlighted the importance of the brakes, well.. along with the fact I got my current car really cheap because of faulty brakes, and having to basically swap the entire rear brake system, and dealing with how terrible it was before fixing it... well, I got to appreciate good brakes. :P (it's an old Opel Astra H, and the previous owner went through 3 pairs of rotors in 5 years, and the brakes never got properly fixed so he gave up and I got the car cheap, it was so bad that on my way to the garage with a lift I could use, the right rear wheel suddenly locked up, had to dismantle the brakes at a gas station, it's the first time ever in my life I've experienced a car losing a brake pad, so the piston had pushed into the rotor, had to put the outer pad on the inside to block the piston and limp carefully to the garage where we swapped everything out, turns out the cause of all the problems was a clogged handbrake wire... which several professional mechanics had missed every time the previous owner had it fixed.) Edit: Sorry about long kinda off topic post, ADHD things.
Great review! While Im still ambiguous about how the current 1 series looks,its still a vehicle Im considering buying (a M135) as a bday gift for myself as I turn 40 (or a Mini JCW)
Get the m135i, it looks weird in red but i got mine in black and so far (2 years) i still like the design. The performance is also really great for a car that only has 306hp.
Very good car and nice driving. How much the stock brakes last if you want to drive let's say a whole day of TF some weekend? Driver with some experience on track for example, not a rookie like me. :3
This is all for those who are used to talk shit about the F40 M135 without even having drive one. You better start looking at this car with respect. Said by a super happy owner
@@performance_club i have stage 2 with around 360 hp but this is not the point. Despite hp i don’t think that the old model could have been driven in such a flawless way like this video. New model is a step ahead
Nice xDrive Mini. It's a shame BMW let the small RWD platform for the 1 and 2 series go. The 1 series now is just a Mini with a BMW badge and the 2 series (coupe) is just too heavy.
So this has a transverse setup? Is the s drive fwd? I'm surprised to read this so genuine enquiry here. Inherently, I don't have a problem with it if the platform is great. It makes perfect sense to share the platform. Nobody complains about mitsi evos having transverse setups but bmw is rwd in everyone's mind. Even the smallest hatches are the only rwd hatchbacks so if they' re moving away from it, that's disappointing. Then again, the new ones look horrible so I don't really care. The E82/E92 are the last generation bmw's I care about. First gen M2 is also pretty cool but already on the bulky side. E92's are big but they're very slick, good-looking cars. Almost everything after that looks like S.
Drives through corners very similar to typical hot hatches like a Megane RS going by this vid. So something I would never expect nor want from a BMW to be honest. Especially when you still pay for the BMW bagde.

I never like this generation of 1er, BUT... I don't know how to explain, this one looks really good!
In M135i form, the rear and side is OK but the front is ugly.
E87 m-sport front is definitely sexier.

Nice car! Daily & Efficient! 👍💥 Set-up is 👌
"Without control the power is nothing..."
A very enjoyable lap with good driving. Just missed some subtitles here and there when the owner wasn't speaking English. I also understand subtitles can be a PITA.
Yeah I edited it last night and did not have the energy for it. Also did not feel they added much to the story. "Yes it's his only car" etc
Na he has a Alfa Romeo Mito all so
From what I understood he talks about the car being built for the ring, tire pressures, and something else I think a specific event for driving.
This man is a King

Well might seem unusual for my wester european fellas, but to me m135/m140 is a dream car.
6 cylinder, I can relate. 👍
