Anybody here own/owned the BMW 1 Series F20? I'm thinking about either the 120i or the 120d the with B48/B47 series engines, the 2018/2019.Heard they were good cars, anything I should look out for?
>>28916722> Heard they were good carsYou know the fucking answer. Are you just here to validate your answer because you’re weak?
Mini cooper s is better
>>28916951HELL To the NO!!It misfires within the first 30k miles. Total JUNK
They're based. This board is a bunch of flyover retard nocars and they hate bmw for some irrational reason, but the 1 series is a good car.
>>28916722Wanted a 140 before I realized they were Europe only.>Sadface.jpg
>>28916722Co-workers girlfriend drives an AWD manual 1er. I'm so jelly, that's such a fucking fun car in the winter and this combo is rare af.
Get a base 114i from some grannyRetro fit an intercooler from a 118Add booshtsuspension is the same as on a 3 series, so the world's your oyster if you want to make it handle
>>28916838Actually I already sent out some emails to my local importers to get some offers (there are barely any 120 cars in my country). Just wanted to get some extra info.>>28916982>>28917295Nice. Though I think I'll stick with the RWD, can barely find any XDrive versions, probably kinda rare at this point.>>28917307I'll stick with the 120i or the 118d/120d because they're 4 cylinders.
>>28917428if you're going to import one why wouldn't you just get the m140i?they're £15-20k used at this point. an M135i would be £10-15k even (also, pre-facelift front bumper is better looking imo)
>>28917502Weeell, a few reasons. One, I don't really need more than the 120i. Two, I kinda want a "newer" car purely because of mileage. Three, the prices are outta hand.I'm importing from Germany, even the 2018/2019 120i is almost 20 grand, the prices are crazy. I get that BMWs carry a premium, but I guess the 1 series especially since it's their last RWD hatchback.
>>28917428>I think I'll stick with the RWD, can barely find any XDrive versions, probably kinda rare at this pointOh yeah. And, loke I said, they're almost all automatics.
>>28917737get a 3 series, it will be cheaper and its not a cuckmobileand mileage is a meme, a 100k km car with a dog owner will be fucked on the inside compared to a 300k km car that was used on long tripsalso>4cyl bmwjust get a warm hatch from toyota or something, it will be more fun, sub 250hp rwd is a meme on such fat carst. used to own a 120d
>>28916722In the UK these are exclusively driven by blacks and pakistanis
>>28918356They have good taste
>>28916980shut the fuck up bitch
>>28918356who else is left in the UK other than those two?
>>28916722i had pre lci f20118d xdrive with n47it felt very simmilar to my lci e90 320d (also n47, but more hp), so if you ever drove one of those you can expect 90% the same car. f20 is almost as comfy, ubt not as sporty if it makes sense?quality feels similar on both but i had much more trouble with f20. tho i have to say i bought e90 when it was 3 years old and owned it for 10 (i only replaced front shock absorbers). and i bought f20 when it was 9 years old and had it for 3.some of the problems i had with it or know of>rear taillight have a design flaw and will eventually malfunction (continue to work but at half brightness)>mist inside front headlight on a very humid day/when washing a car>radio doesnt turn off when you shut the car and open the door, exit, close the door and lock it, it plays for 2 more minutes so you have to look like a wanker or manually turn it off and on every time which is annoying as fuck>warning gong stopped working (which is a blessing because of seatbelts and also a curse because of parking sensors run on the same computer/speaker)>noticed a white smoke coming out of driver side kidney grill after a short drive which turned out to be evaporation from a small coolant leak. coolant was under minimum mark but there was not warning on the dashboard. filled up 1 liter of coolant and from that pointon always carried another liter with me, after a month i added another liter and after that it never lost a drop of coolant again. really fucking weird and annoying because i was checking the coolant all the time>sometimes in wet conditions and 6th gear there would be a sudden drop in rpm and speed. it felt like esp engaging rather than engine entering limp mode, but there was no lights whatsoever and bmw diagnostic couldnt find an error. propositio nwas to wait for a rainy day and run diagnostics while drivign around, but i never got around to that. i almost got rear ended one time when it suddenly breaked hard af
