My 118i Review 2016

My review of the 118i in fastest time possible

Hope its ok for you.

I did a popular 7er one which got some great reviews, this was more straight and fair about the car.

Do you know a mod who can help me figure out how to embed it as content?

1. "Power test!" - where's the power? Compare to it's granny:



(I mean the "test" looks a bit too brief to notice anything at all as there's not much, really.)

2. "Better seats" (compared to 3 Series) - yes of course, as you have sport seats. Those are available in 3 Series too, AFAIK.

If you mean what I did above, take the video ID ("iN-npZuqEoA" in your case, no quotes!) from the link and apply the "Wrap [u2b] tags around selected text" (the rightmost toolbar button in the advanced editing mode) action to it.

I agree totally and once you find the tight roads with tight corners you want to buy the car.

After driving a M135 my dealer gave for a day last week I like my car so much more. Unless you need top speed on a racing track then the 135 is a waste of time. The M2 is just a black hole you poor money into if the second hand price drops as fast as the M3/M4 has.

The M3 and 4 have not dropped much here, not that I would by one. Interesting about the M130 - maybe you have an interesting point. I think I might have opted for the 118 170 bhp version as this was just ok.

I strongly believe that you guys are talking about the m135i since there is no m130
