I don't think buyers of this car will be too bothered with it being FWD. It's basically BMW making an affordable car to make them more accessible to more buyers. Its basically their version of the corolla.

[@farharevenge]

This 218i actually looks great with the original front silver grill. The grill upgrade to gloss black make it worse. The whole car is sexy though, I seriously don’t understand the hate towards this model. Saw this in person two times.

[@kishona69]

the hate come from the so called "Purists", but I still don't understand why since this wasn't designed with them in mind. No "Purist" would be interested in this anyways.

[@ivantoo6794]

I think is alright to b FWD. The look is good enough that will attract ppl eyes. Those who really care about RWD won't mind to pay more for 330i.

[@kevinchang18]

your video should cover the road view with the dash and yourself which will make it more interesting than just watching you talk.

[@khookeatchye6883]

Very good review Kon. I watched both tour reviews BMW 2 series & Merc A 200 Saloon. 👍

[@MaverickEchoJuliet]

Lookin fwd to this review.
Kon and BMWs are like butter on toast 😂

[@fazz27]

I don't mind the FWD shift, but I would like to raise the horrible confusion of the 2 series nameplate (RWD coupe, FWD gran coupe, FWD Active Tourer & FWD gran tourer). What do you think?

[@shafeqmohd4021]

Maybe the next or after the next generation , all will be fwd. The M version will be AWD. It will be cheaper since the current 1 series hatchback, the X1, 2 series mpv thing shares the same platform with Mini

[@AjLuvU]

The exterior def lokks better than 3 series. but the analogue meter now is fully digitalize. I saw my friends 2024 model. Love it

[@ahmadfrhn97]

semangat lain machiam this video.. good job!

[@HokkienUncle]

BMW should allow to permanently disable the start stop function

[@bimmerian6047]

you can via coding either to disable it or activate the last memory setting which is switching on the deactivate the start/stop located beside the gear nob.

[@Tonysoprano497]

Front wheel drive on a model with this size of engine works fine ..it’s a trade off if you live in a country with a proper winter it’s probably better front wheel drive . Ice and snow rear wheel drives virtually dosent move so useless as a daily driver ..This isn’t performance spec it’s about daily driving and this will work well ..

[@shafeqmohd4021]

No issue about it being fwd. I like the front, maybe the back needs getting used to.

[@KonWaiLuen]

Yeah... the back looks visually too tall for me.

[@samueldebbarma2891]

This colour variant is the best looking...damn!!!...call it elegant, classy, sexy whatever you wanna call

[@eliotsalandybrown]

Thanks for including your wife's helpful reflections 👍

[@donaldleo3448]

Hardly seen them hanging around in downtown KL

[@mohdyusuf7644]

sadly BMW Msia did not bring b48 2.0 liter turbo variant.

[@raina2456]

Driving benz now.. was looking for this f44.. what say you kon.?in term of reliability and durability?

[@hazwanh.halimi8941]

beautiful little german beast

[@stevenlim9378]

Thanks for the good explaination! i am a family man with two young kids.

[@KonWaiLuen]

Thanks for watching!

[@shamkumar86]

Future bmw

[@joe700700]

Actually hide the badge in the front at it looks like a Kia cerato...lol

[@khookeatchye6883]

I think it’s a good looking car hahaha

[@thiagoeli6658]

pro tip : you can watch series on kaldrostream. Been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@londoncaden1967]

@Thiago Eli definitely, been watching on kaldrostream for since november myself =)

[@jsebastian457]

Definitely is a good looking car !

[@dvniel_garage]

same

[@artorhajdini1]

Kon, is that diamond grille optional because I have only seen it on M235i? I will order a 2 Series Gran Coupe 220d and I really want to add that diamond grille to it. I would appreciate your response. Keep up the good work.

[@KonWaiLuen]

I would believe it is, but I'm guessing you're not from Malaysia? Which country are you from?

[@artorhajdini1]

@@KonWaiLuen I’m from Hungary, I really would love that grill but I cannot afford a M235i lol

[@davidlow1405]

What brand watch are you wearing?

[@nickgary972]

Then wait for 235i la with awd

[@ahmadfadzil4104]

So nice indeed.

[@famsweeking8792]

Your Graham watch nicer than BMW 218i

[@Lgpuricare2u]

Hi Kon, how to get that carbon fibre at the side mirrors and exhaust tip? It doesn't come standard.

[@KonWaiLuen]

It's an official BMW accessory, but pretty sure you can find quality aftermarket parts on the Internet too.

[@theasparagus0076]

I think Audi A3 have a bit better sound insulation?? I don't know which one should I get one day.. Audi A3 or Merce A or BMW 218i. Any wise suggestions??

[@KonWaiLuen]

A3 for me!

[@anandpradep9421]

This or 320i im gonna see this 2 in this saturday

[@NUMITvideo]

I love this car so much just not so perfect as some features do not include like shift pedal, head up display, low horsepower... But still, can't wait to get my car soon!

[@KonWaiLuen]

Congrats! Enjoy the car!

[@henrysiew1996]

29:45 instagrammable 問你死沒 😂

[@roeslan1969]

Honestly I think the reviewer was getting too philosophical towards the end of this video.. Too much useless debate on FWD vs RWD.. Overall it's a beautiful car for 200+k & it's a Beemer.. BTW the earlier part of the video was actually quite good eg transverse engine layout, roominess of space, seats, dashboard design, etc.. So I skipped the rest from minute 24 onwards... Thank you

[@ss_4848]

Comment on the title : BMW 128ti also is FWD and the according to the reviewer, they are impressed by it..

[@engtzeyee]

The title says FWD Sedan, and your example which is a 128ti is a hatchback... Still, I wished the 1 series is still a RWD car.

[@ss_4848]

@@engtzeyee thank you for correcting. Assumed you are driving a rwd currently?

[@nigelzheng2015]

So. Nice

[@TGFTTGFFGTTRUEFHROWHEF]

BMW 218i Gran Coupe feel not so premium compare to Mercedes A class saloon , mercedes less vibrate and shaking on bump and road on high speed above 110-160km the build quality also quite good they still maintain the premium parts with budget price tag...
im going to choose mercedes A class saloon.. sorry if some peoples like bmw .. BMW has no problem about comfort if price tag above RM300,000-RM1millions above..

[@KonWaiLuen]

I think interior build quality, they are about same. The Mercedes has better engine offerings, but in our market, much higher price tag also la

[@raina2456]

Dude,... benz never been the same anymore.. I own w213 and its not comfort at all.. g30 is better

[@keithedeadlierreaper5661]

Fwd BMW is just a luxurier version of Proton Persona

[@itsravt]

just bring in the higher spec already!

[@anjdog2003]

Cars with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car doesn't interest me.

[@hdbsg3.5]

Kon W205 C200 vs G20 320i which one is more comfortable and more refined?

[@KonWaiLuen]

G20 for me.

[@raina2456]

If w206 vs G20 then,,, it will be different story..

[@doGoodFahmi]

Between this 218i vs Arteon, which one would you choose?

[@KonWaiLuen]

Arteon, easy.

[@HokkienUncle]

@@KonWaiLuen the obvious

[@raina2456]

Different segment .. even the arteon is pricier than this f44.

[@petemorbius3936]

no la bro

[@vinliam3134]

never liked any compact sedan..........same value go for camry /accord for sure.

[@Jericho1207]

i can't help to think that mazda 3 is more premium then this bmw.

[@Radiation580]

Mazda not even close to be compared with bmw

[@loischan5753]

@@Radiation580 I love BMWs, but he's right, Mazda3 is way more premium than this

no that thing is just plain ugly, wtf is that rear and bulbous front. BMW designs have been shockingly disproportionate recently.
