@CoonBabble hmm. I have a 2010 cooper S and with traction control off, it spins the tires like a mammajamma. That chirp-chirp-chirp business usually indicates TC doing it's stuff, but I am just guessing on this one. And I suppose a dragstrip is a lot stickier (and squeakier) than the streets around here! It's hard to modulate the gas to stay on threshold of traction, the car is so weak down low and spins the tires so easily at higher revs. 8-) fun all the way around!
You do realize this is not a really good comparision... Mini Cooper is a lot shorter, the engine is smaler so the whole car is lighter then the 1 series. However, the test proves that BMW has some damn good brakes.
@Bader88 They don't get bigger, that was the one major redesign of the car to make it comply with safety standards, which caused them to give it a taller hood and expand the dimensions a little. It's still one of the smallest cars on the road, and that isn't changing any time soon, with MINI saying they will not make a bigger car than the Countryman.
@Bader88 ...you do realize you bought the less reliable, and less powerful model yeah? The R56 (2007 upwards) is turbo charged too, unlike the R53 (pre 2007) which is supercharged.
@tristris90 That's not entirely true. I've had zero mechanical issues with my 06. If you are going to buy any vehicle it is almost always better to get a the newest of the old over the newest model. The bugs are generally worked out by then and reliability is usually at it's best. When they change things you have to deal with new issues.
I like this video because my husband owns a 2009 135i and I own a 2011 MCS so we laugh that this is us once we get our GoPro cameras haha :) nice comparison.
hahahaha how pathetic... my 128i would rape your piece of shit ford in handling around the track. american cars are only built for straight aways. I'm pretty sure ford still uses horse and buggy chasis for their mustangs lol. The only cars I know that are american and can handle somewhat decently are the cameros, the ford gt40, and the $120,000 corvette.
@LoveTheCity123 - I just got mine last night. Cop stopped me for speeding, but didn't get a ticket, lol. It'd be a crime not to get this in stick shift.
i'd prefet the MINI, even if its yellow. the new shape bmw's are fucking ugly.all of them. the first series especially! i used to love bmw's, now i don't even look at them. P.S. for some very strange reason almost every BMW driver is a complete tosser! don't wanna offend anyone, just wanna understand why?
Why anyone would buy either of these cars as convertibles is beyond me. They are slower and look faggy. For the price of a 128i convertible with automatic and navigation, you could get 135i sport package w/ a 6 speed manual. Convertibles are for chicks, not enthusiasts.
its actually more avoid 02, and 03. 05 and 06 got a revision/update which makes them actually pretty good, especially value for money since they will cost a lot less than 07+
The 2nd generation models (from 2007 onwards) have more modern engines with better fuel consumption and a tiny bit more power but the 1st generation models (2001-2006) have better steering.
The old Cooper S drank horrendous amounts of fuel but thats about the only down side of the first gen models.
It's a car designed in the late 50s (!) kept in production for so long because it was an automotive icon.
I guess it's more fun to drive than the new BMW MINI but it's not a modern car. Reliability, practicality, comfort and safety are some things you won't find in an old Mini.
Great cars but they require some commitment and willingness to wield a spanner once in a while.
i'm buying my wife a red cooper for valentines day, i was a little disappointed that the 1 series wasn't more like a 2002 rwd 4banger for around 30k, i can hardly tell them apart from the 3 series
What a pile of crap! that isnt a mini. its fu*cking huge fat and ugly. I saw one the other day with a bloody union jack on the roof, how disgracful is that on a german car. Give me an ORIGINAL BRITISH MINI anyday.
yes both good cars, but,,, i have a 08 mini cooper s, and i can bet you that after a day like that at the track,,, you will be spending a few days at the dealers fixing it, my mini has 20,000 km, and it probibly spends 1 to 2 days at the shop every month, but its a fun car, dont be fooled by the fun test drive,
You must treat your MINI like shit or not know how to take care of it properly. My 09 Cooper S has been in the shop once and it was due to an intake manifold freeze up, which is a common issue on the Cooper S in Canada and the northern USA.
Mine drives great, runs 14.9's at the strip (stock) and gets me 45 mph on the highway doing 120 km/hr. No complaints here at all.
both those cars could seriously benefit from a sport package with stiffer springs (especially the mini) because they body roll too much.... and if they do have sport packages then wow... needs some work!
Wrong. The MINI handles amazing without the sport package, even under hard driving. The sport package makes the car ride stiffer than a shopping cart, and barely increases overall handling. Not worth the extra money.
either you are from another planet, or are spoiled brat who buys pagani zondas with your spare change. Go drive one and then compare it to whatever it is you are driving, see if that will change your mind.
I was supposed to race a guy i work with, he has a 128 i have a cooper s. everyone think i'll get my butt handed to me. Now im definitely going to do it!!
Holy shit...higher skidpad, higher slalom, shorter braking distance...why buy a 128i over the MINI? Now, can we get a comparison between the 135i and MINI Works?
Would take the Mini any day!!! The bimmer is but ugly and its not even faster than the Mini (okay, in a straight line it is, but only americans think about the straightway performance!). Allso the design in the interior is far much better in the Mini. Over and out!
@Chingonshushu Look up "Tail of the Dragon" in North Carolina. I grew up not far from there. You'd be a fool to think a country as big as America with TWO distinctly different mountain ranges would not have a plethora of twisties.
@motomonstrosity yooo calm down it was writen in metaphorically.....nahh you dont say :S no YOU must be dumb for thinking a person does'nt know that america has twisty roads, erm cmon bit more sense mate.
Not much of a test considering they are both bimmer... I do find it interesting however how closely they perform numbers wise when ones fwd and the other is rwd.
@lovinitson I would have wanted a little less feet since it does have the brake fade compensation and electronic brake distribution but overall, they both did amazing!
Okay, I just wanna throw this out there. BMW makes some fantastic cars; they drive like nothing else, and I would know. I have an C.P.O. 328i, and every time I drive it [at speed limit ;)], it leaves a stupid little grin on my face and I want to keep on driving forever. No other car I've ever driven has done that for me, so unless you've owned a BMW and know what it's felt like to experience a finely balanced machine, don't hate on their owners just because a few act like dicks to others.

WoW i'm really surprised never thought the cooper would be that good. the cooper was better in every test except 0-60 which means it will win against the 128i on the track never expected that :D
there's no comparison. the bmw is rear wheel drive, the mini is front wheel drive. the mini is for people who want a fun city car, and the bmw is for motoring purists. however, motoring purists would save their money another few months, and get the 135i
you're such an imbecile if you would buy an infiniti, which unlike lexus, is nothing more than rebadged versions from it's parent company. and the audi is too firm, and doesn't handle as well as the bmw. they're common for a reason you fool. while most other manufacturers simply can't be bothered figuring out when the ABS should cut in (and simply have them cut in at the slightest brake input) bmw's never cut in unless you really need it.
the 335i especially has one of the world's greatest engines. instead of simply sticking two large turbos onto the car, you get two small turbos, each one feeding 3 cylinders. this means there is no lag at all, and performance is linear. then, the bmw is easily the best handling car in its class. bmw tunes all their cars (including the x5) on the nurburgring, which means the suspension brakes and engine are tried and tested on the most formidable racetrack, and they are perfect.
Where did I even incinuate that it wasn't a good car, you immature, fucking neanderthal. I don't care if its faster I don't want to look like everyone else and MOST people buy them simply because of the badge,NOT because of how it drives. You are VERY immature and I never disrespected yoou or insulted you. Your mind is overwhlmingly under developed so I will not waste my time talking to some E-Thug, who talks shit over the web.
you call me a moron? i'm not the one talking about buying an infiniti. you buy a car because it's good, not because your neighbor doesn't have one. it really pisses me off how people in america view cars as nothing more than a means of transport.
No I never called you a single name before you started insulting me simply for saying taht I wouldn't own one. I simply said I'd rather have a better looking more exclusive S5 than a BMW. I'd also have a G37 before owning one too. and the insults started flowing. You are the perfect example of why I wouldn't own one. "BMW owners are cocks"
Based on your opinion. Mustang owners believe the same thing, and so do Civic owners. I've driven them and I think you're all brainwashed. My brother has a 330i that me and my other brother has romped on, multiple times. We even went to the mountains and burned him even worse. I was in my VR-4 and my other brother was in his 350Z. You're like a delusional cult. Good, yes. Unbeatable or ultimate, not even close.
They are only better than cars that cost 10 grand less. Race a base C6 Vette in your 335i and I GUARANTEE you'll get dogged BAD! A 370Z is better in any MEASURABLE way than a 135i. it's quicker, faster and handles better, everythin else is subjective. An S5 vs. 335i is completely subjective, all based on opinion. The only cars that a BWM will win hands down with are cars that cost less, unless it's an M3, that's the only exclusion.
a c6 vette? yes, in a drag race, a bmw 335i would lose. but the vette's interior is made from tracing paper, and for god's sake, it runs on leafs springs! on the top gear lap board, for example, the corvette was beaten out by the SEDAN M3.
the 370z might be faster than a 135i, but i guarantee you it is not as fun or rewarding to drive. i mean, the 370z heels-and-toes for you!
first off, im just giong to point out that the ZR1 set the ring record with leaf springs, so why cant your european stuff do the same? second, having the car do all the work for you takes out all the fun of driving. its people like you that i hate talking to, that think they know what they are talking about when it comes to driving, because they have driven their moms automatic G37.
what are you talking about? i admit that i have never driven a g37 because i have no need to. it's just a counterfit copy of the 335i, that's all, yet they sell it at almost the same price. if you could buy a fake rolex from china town for the same price as a real rolex simply because it looks nicer, would you? it's basically the same principle.
and the zr1 isn't the same as the base corvette. i'm not sure if the zr1 runs on leafs springs, but it does have magnetic dampers.
more rewarding to drive, yet another completly subjective rebuddle. I can numerically prove that the 370's better and all you have is opinion. BMW's are neutered IMO. They are so easy. an AWD EVO has more rear slip angle. That's why even the EVO X was rated better by Motor Trend. It's a boring car. and the NA ones, may as well drive a Civic.
its a FACT, it only allows for a 3 degree slip angle unless you puposefully push it to tail slide. They have the softest clutch I have ever felt! When I drove my brothers I was scared to rest my foot on the clutch pedal because it was so soft. Theres no "snick-snick" precision with the transmissions, they just kind of slide in gear. I shifted to second and I couldnt even feel it engage. The only time you hear them is wide-open throttle.They lack the rawness of say a Vette or Z. Way too soft.
@coolerdude44 Both the 335i and the 135i are great cars. In choosing the 135i, people are showing preference for less expensive, slightly faster, smaller and lighter, over the bigger, heavier and more attractive and more luxurious 3 series.
Convertibles aren't meant for speed. The structure and body rigidity takes a hit plus most cars become up to 300 pounds heavier in vert form. This was a dumb test if u ask me.
why would you do performance tests with fucking convertible versions of the car....128i coupes 0-50 is 5.9

conclusion 128i slightly faster acceleration than mini. Mini better handling and faster around corners than 128i.

geedunk13 2 years ago
there's no comparison. the bmw is rear wheel drive, the mini is front wheel drive. the mini is for people who want a fun city car, and the bmw is for motoring purists. however, motoring purists would save their money another few months, and get the 135i
coolerdude44 2 years ago
Psssh a well equipped 135i is well over 40k. Comes very close to 48k fully-equippped.

i got my 135i up to 42k..

Yeah those things are expensive. Truly I would have bought a 370Z with the money, but 135i's are cool too.
koukicrisp 2 years ago
dude why would you spend 48k on a 135i? i've equipped a 335i to $49,000, so why would you choose the 1 over the 3?
coolerdude44 2 years ago
correct me if im wrong but the 335i is a sedan and the 135 is a coupe!
missionadi000 2 years ago
you can get the 335i in coupe form if you so choose.

Oh trust me I wouldn't.I'd rather buy a G37 or S5, BMW's are too common for me. Im very eccentric and that cars too common.

torrid94 2 years ago
you're such an imbecile if you would buy an infiniti, which unlike lexus, is nothing more than rebadged versions from it's parent company. and the audi is too firm, and doesn't handle as well as the bmw. they're common for a reason you fool. while most other manufacturers simply can't be bothered figuring out when the ABS should cut in (and simply have them cut in at the slightest brake input) bmw's never cut in unless you really need it.
coolerdude44 2 years ago
the 335i especially has one of the world's greatest engines. instead of simply sticking two large turbos onto the car, you get two small turbos, each one feeding 3 cylinders. this means there is no lag at all, and performance is linear. then, the bmw is easily the best handling car in its class. bmw tunes all their cars (including the x5) on the nurburgring, which means the suspension brakes and engine are tried and tested on the most formidable racetrack, and they are perfect.
coolerdude44 2 years ago
they're called the ultimate driving machine for a reason. did it ever occur to you that the bmw is common because it's a very good car?
coolerdude44 2 years ago
Where did I even incinuate that it wasn't a good car, you immature, fucking neanderthal. I don't care if its faster I don't want to look like everyone else and MOST people buy them simply because of the badge,NOT because of how it drives. You are VERY immature and I never disrespected yoou or insulted you. Your mind is overwhlmingly under developed so I will not waste my time talking to some E-Thug, who talks shit over the web.
koukicrisp 2 years ago
you call me a moron? i'm not the one talking about buying an infiniti. you buy a car because it's good, not because your neighbor doesn't have one. it really pisses me off how people in america view cars as nothing more than a means of transport.
coolerdude44 2 years ago
You're a fucking douchebag, taht's the number 2 reason why I'd never buy a BMW.
koukicrisp 2 years ago
No I never called you a single name before you started insulting me simply for saying taht I wouldn't own one. I simply said I'd rather have a better looking more exclusive S5 than a BMW. I'd also have a G37 before owning one too. and the insults started flowing. You are the perfect example of why I wouldn't own one. "BMW owners are cocks"
koukicrisp 2 years ago
that may be true, but they are still the best damned cars on sale today regardless of how the owners behave.
the infiniti is just a badly executed copy, nothing more.
coolerdude44 2 years ago
Based on your opinion. Mustang owners believe the same thing, and so do Civic owners. I've driven them and I think you're all brainwashed. My brother has a 330i that me and my other brother has romped on, multiple times. We even went to the mountains and burned him even worse. I was in my VR-4 and my other brother was in his 350Z. You're like a delusional cult. Good, yes. Unbeatable or ultimate, not even close.
koukicrisp 2 years ago
They are only better than cars that cost 10 grand less. Race a base C6 Vette in your 335i and I GUARANTEE you'll get dogged BAD! A 370Z is better in any MEASURABLE way than a 135i. it's quicker, faster and handles better, everythin else is subjective. An S5 vs. 335i is completely subjective, all based on opinion. The only cars that a BWM will win hands down with are cars that cost less, unless it's an M3, that's the only exclusion.
koukicrisp 2 years ago
a c6 vette? yes, in a drag race, a bmw 335i would lose. but the vette's interior is made from tracing paper, and for god's sake, it runs on leafs springs! on the top gear lap board, for example, the corvette was beaten out by the SEDAN M3.
the 370z might be faster than a 135i, but i guarantee you it is not as fun or rewarding to drive. i mean, the 370z heels-and-toes for you!
coolerdude44 2 years ago
first off, im just giong to point out that the ZR1 set the ring record with leaf springs, so why cant your european stuff do the same? second, having the car do all the work for you takes out all the fun of driving. its people like you that i hate talking to, that think they know what they are talking about when it comes to driving, because they have driven their moms automatic G37.
yamaharider315 2 years ago
what are you talking about? i admit that i have never driven a g37 because i have no need to. it's just a counterfit copy of the 335i, that's all, yet they sell it at almost the same price. if you could buy a fake rolex from china town for the same price as a real rolex simply because it looks nicer, would you? it's basically the same principle.
and the zr1 isn't the same as the base corvette. i'm not sure if the zr1 runs on leafs springs, but it does have magnetic dampers.
coolerdude44 2 years ago
They all have magnetic dampers and they all run on leaf springs.
koukicrisp 2 years ago
more rewarding to drive, yet another completly subjective rebuddle. I can numerically prove that the 370's better and all you have is opinion. BMW's are neutered IMO. They are so easy. an AWD EVO has more rear slip angle. That's why even the EVO X was rated better by Motor Trend. It's a boring car. and the NA ones, may as well drive a Civic.
koukicrisp 2 years ago
idk what you're talking about, the 335i and 135i are one of the most tail-happy bmw's ever made, but the evo is also tail happy.
and they're not anywhere near boring, the interior may be, but to drive they aren't.
and yes, it is a shame, but i agree. the north american model of any car is neutered.
coolerdude44 2 years ago
its a FACT, it only allows for a 3 degree slip angle unless you puposefully push it to tail slide. They have the softest clutch I have ever felt! When I drove my brothers I was scared to rest my foot on the clutch pedal because it was so soft. Theres no "snick-snick" precision with the transmissions, they just kind of slide in gear. I shifted to second and I couldnt even feel it engage. The only time you hear them is wide-open throttle.They lack the rawness of say a Vette or Z. Way too soft.
koukicrisp 2 years ago
@coolerdude44 Both the 335i and the 135i are great cars. In choosing the 135i, people are showing preference for less expensive, slightly faster, smaller and lighter, over the bigger, heavier and more attractive and more luxurious 3 series.

Convertibles aren't meant for speed. The structure and body rigidity takes a hit plus most cars become up to 300 pounds heavier in vert form. This was a dumb test if u ask me.
