5 THINGS I HATE ABOUT THE BMW 1 SERIES 118i M SPORT!!! HAVE BMW FELL BEHIND MERCEDES AND AUDI?!?! 

I’ve had an Audi S line too, and trying to steer with your knees with a flat bottom steering wheel is pretty hard compared to a round one 😂

you probably have the air vents almost closed. You have to use the little wheels to open/close them, it is not just the buttons

Compared to the other cars in it's class the interior quality in this is actually pretty good. Nothing about the interior is "flimsy".

The aircondition is great. And I live in Greece, we got 40 degrees in the summer... Theres obviously something wrong with your car

I own a 2021 M135i and my climate control is perfect . It gets very cold 🥶 . Have you got the setting wrong?

I have the 1 series m sport and also have the same issue with climate control. I also think for the pricepoint they could have been more generous with the ambiant lighting on the dashboard/doors

If the air con does not work... You ask BMW to look at it. I presume it has a warranty. Something must be wrong with it, it is that simple. BMW do standard tests to ensure that the temp gets down to the required temp inside of a few minutes. So it must be broken. I see you have inner air circulation switched on.

Interesting video. Came here as my daughter is looking at these. Some constructive criticism. Your videos really should be rolled into one for each car - 5 things you love and 5 things you hate. If you want to keep them separate then I would try and keep them a lot shorter and avoid repetition. Looking back through your videos on the say the Golf you only have one with 5 things you love, I couldn't see a hate one. Cars really are a personal choice but some pointers on why BMW's are like they are and why they are unlikely to change based on your video. 1. Steering wheel - should be held at 10 and 2 (or 9and 3) it is proven to give better control and BMW provide thumb supports. If you've ever been involved in an accident where the drivers airbag deploys you'll appreciate when its recommended to hold in these positions. Holes to put your fingers through on steering wheels makes me shudder in the event the steering wheel is whipped to one side in an accident. 2. BMW doesn't really do flat bottomed steering wheels and the buttons are pretty standard on all models - they don't follow other brands. 3. Material have never been BMW's forte - they leave that to Audi for something that looks special. BMW is functional so all those pressy buttons will work for a long time - unlike your touch buttons in VW who have now switched back to pressy buttons lol. Your aircon just needs checking by BMW. It's over 2 years old and could have a leak or need re-gassing. Best to get it checked. Opening your windows counteracts the aircon making it even more useless than yours is. Climate control is meant to be set to an inside temperature and just leave the car do it automatically - ideally you shouldn't feel the fan blowing unless it's really hot inside and the car has work to do. 4. Start stop might just need a software update. I actually turn mine off whichever car I'm in be it a VW or BMW. You can code it out and it won't affect fuel consumption a great deal - more an emissions issue. 5. Plastics are not always great on BMW's and I doubt they will ever catch Audi unless you're looking at the higher spec models over £100k. Reverse camera is an option on these like pretty much everything nowadays. So make sure the cars you look at have all the options you need if buying used. Keep up the good work but I look forward to more concise and shorter videos.

Bland sterling wheel! Well if you like understated then you love it

Thanks for the video. Don’t let the negative comments affect your work. U know your stuff, the start stop is absolutely poor in BMW’s merc is by far the best, the jerky stop starts are a nightmare especially in traffic jams I switch mine off. Steering wheel I’m not entirely sure I always like the thickness of the steering wheel it just lets me know I’m in the m sport trim and not an SE entry level car. Audis I more expect the flat bottom steering wheel but maybe a good change for BM so u might have just given them an idea. The only other thing I would say is how you keep the texture of the steering wheel from going shiny it looses that suede feeling after a while. Anyway, Keep posting, I’m going to check at the aircon in one of the 1 series we have in stock and let you know if it could be yours giving a problem and get back to yah but nice video.

Well I love my 1 series. The iDrive 7.0 is great and yes I do have the Parking Assistant. I wish I’d had xDrive and the DCT gearbox is inferior to the torque converter auto. The is especially the case if you try driving and VW or Audi with their dual clutch gearboxes.

I prefer the wheel on my 2019 1 series and that gen of BMW's in general. It looks much more premium than the new design. I drove a base spec 118d when I was in for a service, and the quality feels like an overall downgrade on the interior. The new screens are nice though. The look of the new 1 series has definitely grown on me over time for the exterior. I do think they are price gouging the options. You really don't want a base spec one. I'd rather have a fully loaded fiesta over a base spec 1 series thats for sure. If I could have my old 1 series with the new screens/software, then I'd be a happy chappy!

I agree the dashboard on the BMW is quite ugly. At one time keen on the Toyota GR Yaris but that dashboard is worse. Its difficult where the customer believes BMW provide luxury cars . . . and the manufacturer designs a low budget item.

Good for you, speak your mind without fearing intimation.

It’s a steering wheel do t want it too fussy

Physical button on the steering wheel are the best. The interior is terrible, very outdated. The AC sounds like a technical issue with that specific car your in. No one really uses the start/ stop button these days lol so thats a none issue. Yeah BMW have taken a huge L with the plastic materials on the dash and below.

So many points of you are irrelevant, but okay...

I’m looking for one right now but what I’ve noticed compared to the press reviews and the ones on sale ; none of them have reverse cameras. I find it surprising spending 30k + on a bmw that doesn’t even have reverse cams

Only problem with your car is the badge on the tail gate IMO Pull the engine out and put a 335d engine in it. Problem solved

18.5 degrees and you are saying you couldn’t keep cool ? Mate come over to Australia if you want to know about heat

4-40 you would like to put your fingers through the gap in the steering wheel 😂 that’s a great way to break them 😮

what colour is this thanks?

The only fault I have is when driving and you run over a cat's eye or markings on the road the car erratically trys to straighten the steering wheel which can be a little scaring is this the intellegence program

Hey Whats the name of the Colour?

Drove 2016 5 series and 2019 1 series and the steering wheel is disappointingly heavy and rigid on both models. I own citroen c5 aircross 2019 and the steering is super soft and fun and feels like rubbery and nice to grip - bmw leather wheel on 5 series felt sticky - its just the interior that got me hooked so bad tho

How can hete something about a bmw there beautiful

I agree with the stop/start. It activates far too quickly

Hold the wheel at 10 to 2

I don't trust BMW. Why would it be so hard to trust a car that's a bit more expensive than other cars!

Holding the steering wheel there is dangerous and don't buy them, you saw the interior when you bought it 🤷

Placement of the USB socket between the cup holders is a really bad idea.

The climate control is nit great. Just bit it back as the heat turns to cold if you have the direction of the fan to the windscreen and footwell. AC is too good either. BMW said they recalibrated the heater. Mmmmmmmmm no the actual blower inside the engine isn’t good.

Fill ur airco system…

I wish the start /stop feature was never invented..very annoying worthless feature.

Your clearly not a fan of BMW. Perhaps you shouldn’t buy them.

You obviously hate Dysons!

Considering buying one but for an M sport I’m surprised no paddle shifters(auto box), no cooling glove box, no rear camera, rear seats feel a bit cramped, dash is ok, leather nice, plastics could be better, general looks I do like and nice to drive but considering VW Golf (which also not perfect) no backlight on dash buttons, front design could have been better, you still get quality but more for your money without having to pay for extra “options”, Mercedes A class looks good but headrests (front and rear) destroy your rear view, smaller boot, air vents look dated too, Audi interior has improved but general exterior looking dated even with a facelift. 16:37

You like breaking your fingers?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How about real issues like road noise? Haha

You are contradicting yourself. You compliment a certain part, then say it’s okay & quite nice!🤔🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Die Sitze sind katastrophal, die digitale Instrumentetafel hässlich und falsch, der Preis übertrieben, die Farbasuwahl sehr bescheiden, 3-Zylinder Motoren eine Zumutung…

👍👍👍👍👍🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Honestly try not review cars again its just not ur thing bro

U have no idea about cars

Crap cars, BMW not what they used to be!
