WARSAW, POLAND • JANUARY 2022, 22.00 PM

Cruising around Warsaw in the All-New Bmw 1 Series (F40). The 118i steptronic is the 2nd least powerful engine but upgraded to the M-Sport Model Pack (suspension / steering wheel / aerodynamics bodykit = sportier character & predatory look). It also includes options like : panoramic roof, tinted windows, 18" wheels, ambient lights, leather seats, leather steering wheel, virtual cockpit, center console touchscreen (matt finished = no glares). So basically, this is what you get for exactly 153.300PLN/€34K/$38.5K (price may vary for eur/usd).

😱 FIRST IMPRESSION ?
Until now, I was struggling liking this car because it has changed so much to the previous generations.. but now, I totally felt for it. This car looks way better in real life than in pictures / videos I saw previously or even on the Bmw Configurator (I did sooo many times, but never felt the vibe). Now I can say WHAT AAAAA BLAST 💣💥 it has been !!!

🤔 WHAT ABOUT THE CAR ?
[ + ] M-Sport Pack
[ + ] Very easy to drive
[ + ] Good view
[ + ] Good driver's lower adjusted seat position
[ + ] Virtual Cockpit & Touchscreen (matt finished = no glares)
[ + ] Beautiful interior
[ - ] Like in the 3 series F20 I driven few videos back, the lack of space in the second row also comes up.. definitely not meant for people over 1,70m (5"5). I like the size of the car but not it overall space --- Otherwise, what a truly amazing car !!!
[ - ] Pricey 153.300PLN/€34K/$38.5K

ps : As always, I'm trying to see if the least powerfull version of a model and standard configuration are good enough ? In this case, I had the second least powerful engine with a serious upgrade.. The 118i delivers more power than you could ever need and offers all the luxury you could ever want from a small car like this.

💦 FUEL CONSUMPTION ?
25:02 --- 9,5L/100km (25 US mpg • 30 UK mpg) for a semi-dynamic 22mins drive and on a 16,5km (10mi) distance.
In my 1st video "Day Pov Drive", I reached 12,4L/100km (19 US mpg / 23 UK mpg) for a very dynamic 45mins drive and on a 22,5km (14mi) distance.
In my 3rd video "Eco Mode Drive" I reached 6,3L/100km (37 us mpg / 45 uk mpg).
