Review: BMW 118 (F20) Sport: Eco Pro Drive

[Twinz]

Thx Ashman. I have my moments...hehe

Now you can imagine how Freerider and I behaved at the Frankfurt show. We wanted to see and touch everything even lying under cars to see exhaust configurations...boyz and their toyz...:rollsmile:

 

[CamZo]

after your review like you mentioned it will grow on us and very fast....

Well done Twinz for the good review-and Mo for great pics.
IMO with what I've seen people take while to adjust to change.

Having said that I like new 1 series more than the old one.

Twinz you're a lucky man to get your hands on the new toys.

:ty: This made for good reading.

I'm just thinking now, my E30 318i produced 160nm when it was new. This 1.6L Turbo car produces almost 100 more.

250NM is a good amount in a daily car. Add that with the fact that there's no lag in this car, it can only be a win win. :thumb:

Great write up + pix. :clap:

 

[Twinz]

Nic, I like your reasoning on this. :thumbs:

I wonder if we will ever see a 130 (5 door) turbo-charged version in this new guise...it will be a cracker :inlove:.....or is it left to the 135 coupe versions...

 

[moranor@axis]

i think they still deciding weather to make the 130i 4 or 6 cyl thats why they have not made it yet

You never cease to amaze me with your reviews and write ups mate :bravo::bravo:

I agree with that.

I would be more than happy with a small daily drive 1.6L with that amount of power.. My 1.9L is pushing 87Kw & 157Nm...

Eish, I hope its not the end of the 6 cyl's...

Hi Twinz, as far as I know the 180kW 350Nm 2.0l turbo of the Z4 S-Drive28i, X3 X-Drive28i and 528i will be used across the line-up, replacing the 3.0 N/A 6cyl

 

[Twinz]

Thx man. They should have given us both

 

[///Marksman]

Twinz - thourough as always:thumbs:

Sick write-up man!

Still think it's ugly though

 

[Twinz]

Thx Divinci

I see the pricing for used 1 series (E87) is still stable. I was expecting it to tumble. These cars hold their value well. Next year it may change once the new ONE is readily available.

 

[Sankekur]

Well it might take until the looks of the new 1 is more widely accepted to the old 1 to start loosing its value, perfect time then to get a nice 130i :rollsmile:

I was quite surprised to see what BMW offered me on trade-in for my E87 ... I thought I would get less

 

[Twinz]

Good stuff. :thumbs:

 

[maverick83]

Awesome photos!!

 

[Spoiler]

Nice review but why buy a small hatch when you could get a far cheaper E90 with a few km on the clock and balance MP for far less. R350k for a 118i albeit with decent power and torque is insane...

The 1st photo should go to Calendar entry.

Well Done...
