BMW 1 Series Video Review - Kelley Blue Book

[bramblecino]

one of the best bimmers ever IMO. I'd love to have one but I'd feel like such a douchbag driving it......oh well

[Birgler14]

sounds like tanner foust 

[Bzapp725]

Forget the part about only four passengers will you.

[abcman]

This car is shit. if you want a fancy car you dont go for the lowest class of one. You pay 30 g's for this peice of shit and you get no features. You can buy a ballin Toyota SUV for 30 gs and get so much shit with it.

[therealWTFproduction]

@abcman Is someone sad because they bought a "Balling Toyota" instead of a BMW. Have driven one, or any BMW for that matter?

[abcman]

@therealWTFproduction : You dumb ass, i own a 2004 325XI. this 1 series garbage is shit, you on the other hand would purchase this peice because you'd be too broke to afford atleast a decent 3 series. And do you even know anything about cars ? I know for a fact you dont if you're bashing Toyota, excellent engineering, they last longer than beamers and benzes. Wtf do you know, you're probably some fag in an office who doesn't know shit.

[therealWTFproduction]

@abcman Bad guess because I know a lot about cars, grew up in that kind of family. I'm 16 and for my first I purchased a 1012 128i, you know why? Because I got an amazing deal, it handles better than any 3 series, the 1 series (disregarding the m3 and m1) is generically faster than it's 3 series' counterparts, It's smaller (I live in LA it lets me weave more and I fit into all parking spaces), not to mention the great gas mileage I get.

Check my next comment about Toyota.

[therealWTFproduction]

@abcman I'm not bashing Toyota, my family owns two japanese cars. My mom owns an IS-F and has owned 3 Lexus' before that, they are great cars! My brother owns a GT-R that a great car two! If I had the money to, I would have purchased a GT-R or a nice Lexus right off the bat. But I didn't, so I drove a bunch of cars and purchased this one because it had the best feel and value. You can't realize the true value of a BMW until you've owned one for awhile, you should know.

[therealWTFproduction]

@abcman And the 3 series coupe is not practical, or good looking in any way.

[tinymonkeys3]

@therealWTFproduction

i agree with you. I think the 1 series looks amazing.

and this guy says he has a 2004 325xi.....

not gunna lie but the old model bmws look ugly nowadays.

but your family has some pretty nice cars!

Mine only has an is250, a S5 and a c300 >.<

looking forward to getting a 1 series for me though!

[therealWTFproduction]

@tinymonkeys3 I agree. Nice car garage, it's a good collection! The new 1 series is absolutely awesome. When you first start diving it it is great, but then once you break it in it gets even better!

[tinymonkeys3]

@therealWTFproduction

Thanks man! lol

yeahhh i can't wait =p

How's the performance on it?

[therealWTFproduction]

@tinymonkeys3 It's fantastic. Great beginner car. The strengths it has relate mainly to it's ability to turn and handle. But I'm slowly adding HP to mine. You'll love the way it drives!

[jozynator9]

Fail ! its a 3.0 liter NOT a 3.5 liter

[torogami2]

still waiting for the bmw 1/2 series

[DThaeman]

they forgot to mention the double clutch transmission available for the 135i, with paddle shifters.. or the torque curve of the 135i 300lb@1250rpm - 5000rpm

[Hidezepickle]

epic comment battle is epic.

[xsnownedx]

So in conclusion if you have the money for a bmw get a 3 series, if you dont get a used g37 and call it a day. Thanks KBB

[georgezacky]

:D

[bmw318racer]

How can you drive that car correctly with high heels... And that goofy hat?

[artwel123]

3:54

[LoveTheCity123]

My father went and got the 2011 BMW 135i Convertible a few days ago. It is an amazing car! I get to drive it around the city and it most certainly is a eye catcher. I love it!

[Kranbone]

The rear seats look extremely uncomfortable to sit in.

[JuggleAddict]

@Kranbone the hell would you care about the rear seats? you're going to be driving!! :-D besides, most people who would buy this would rarely ever have more than 2 people in it

[Kranbone]

@JuggleAddict I carry passengers. Most compact cars have seating for people in the rear where they are allowed to have legs.

[Kranbone]

@JuggleAddict I care about rear seats. Either put a proper back seat in it, or take the shit ones out and make it a 2 seater only. It would be cheaper too.

Sometimes, it's not just the driver who matters :)

[2003SCT]

What an ugly pug of a car....from the company that makes the amazing looking 3 series no less. The 1 series looks cheap and BMWs should not.

[Boonoman]

it aint a 3.5 liter but a 3.0 liter engine....

[mojojojo911]

135i for the win! That cars just money. Not to mention a sleeper!

[swedeej114]

3:08 hubba hubba

[KELLERKIND921610]

i got one - but the hatchback 116d :D

is it true it isnt sold in the us? i dont know because i am from germany

[Forshbr04]

@KELLERKIND921610 No diesels in the US :-(. We only get the coupe version with either the 3-liter in the 128i (230bhp) or the 3-liter turbo in the 135i (300bhp).

[DKRaFiQ]

woah i like this kelly blue book review! :D

[j11ssr]

3.5 liter - FAIL

[PL3690]

@j11ssr its not a 3.5 smartass

[kattlikzm]

@j11ssr lol it's a 3 liter, not a 3.5

[DaveMoneyquantrilly]

What a piece of crap car!

[vittoriostoraro]

@DaveMoneyquantrilly

What a useless, pointless, childish comment.

[wendileona]

The 5 Series is for five people. The new 3 has gotten bigger. The 1 replaces that lost market that was the fan of the smaller old 3 series. The 1 appeals to me, I don't need too much car.

[vittoriostoraro]

@sksakm14

Indeed.

[vittoriostoraro]

@sksakm14

Since YouTube will not allow links, I will copy and paste the headline of one of many pieces, this one from Car and Driver: (Look it Up)

"2011 BMW 1-series Updated with Single-Turbo N55 Inline-6, Dual-Clutch Transmission - Car News

The 1-series menu now includes a new engine, a new transmission, and—hooray!—free leather upholstery"

[vittoriostoraro]

@sksakm14

That's the spirit.

BTW, My name is not not "DUDE'

[vittoriostoraro]

@sksakm14

Actually, the reason I typed "Fuck You" was because I kept getting an "error" message from You Tube... It was NOT directed toward you. What I stated above IS NOT an OPINION... IT'S A FACT. Do a little more research before you make a fool of yourself again. EVERY major Car Magazine and blog made a HUGE deal about "No Cost Option" leather in the 2011 1 series. Oh, as for not having the "Balls to leave it up": FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU and FUCK YOU !

[vittoriostoraro]

@sksakm14

You are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG !!! Several colors of "REAL" BOSTON LEATHER are available as a NO COST OPTION. IT"S ALL OVER THE NET. Perhaps you should call a real dealership like BMW Manhattan, which is owned and operated by BMW NA.

[vittoriostoraro]

@sksakm14

Also, what do you mean by "REAL" leather ? The color's Black or taupe make the leather somehow "Not Real" ??? Boston, Dakota and Pearl ARE ALL "LEATHERS"

[vittoriostoraro]

@sksakm14

I don't know what Country you are in, but in the US, Boston Leather is a "NO COST OPTION" which to me means "FREE" not "STANDARD" it costs NOTHING ...does that clarify things ? I just "built my own" on BMW USA and added Grey Boston Leather. Cost: $0. (There are FOUR free colors in all) On almost ANY BMW model, certain colors can only be gotten as part of a package or for an additional fee. Thank you.

[cherriosmaster]

Leather isn't standard on a BMW!?!??!!! Wtf!!!

[vittoriostoraro]

@cherriosmaster

It's standard now. Besides, many people (not me) prefer leatherette because its easier to care for and wears better.

[KELLERKIND921610]

@cherriosmaster

some people prefer textile ;)

[KELLERKIND921610]

@cherriosmaster

some people prefer textile ;)

[Draxindustries1]

Superb car and just ordered one. Nothing comes even close to german engineering.

That premium badge says it all and rises far above any so called competition..

[vittoriostoraro]

For those old or knowledgable enough to remember, this is the kind of car that made BMW the respected car company it is today. It harkens back to the 2002 and early 3 series (The 320i was the first BMW I drove in 1980). IGNORE the CHILDISH JEALOUS naysayers: Consumer Reports gives the 135 a 97 out of 100 making it Number 3 in their Top Ten, and even Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear calls it "The Best Car BMW Makes". Drive one for yourself and you'll see. But be prepared to spend $40,000 or more.

[Descartes619]

what a shit car

[Descartes619]

this pocket rocket is for fags like vittoriostoraro

[HragY51]

your voice is annoying

[ManuMontoya99]

I'm planning to buy a new vehicle, i really like this one and the new Mustang V6 2011. Which one do you think is the best choice?

I really appreciate your help guys.

[Sin1505]

@ManuMontoya99 mustang = more sporty look.  128i= more classy I'd go for the Bmw, but the mustang 2010 is AMAZING also

[ManuMontoya99]

@Sin1505 I appreciate your help bro :)

[LoveTheCity123]

My mother has a 2009 BMW 1 Series .. She lets me drive it sometimes and it is awesome !

[Descartes619]

the one series is an ugly pocket rocket

[vittoriostoraro]

@Descartes619

Really ?

I have had THREE 3 series Coupes and have never gotten so many compliments as I have gotten since buying the 135. MANY people LOVE the design (Me Included)

[Descartes619]

@vittoriostoraro hell yeah it's an ugly pocket rocket. i live in southern california in san diego. 3 series are more common than toyota camries. 1 series will be laughed at. personally i dont' like it. that the opinion of the state of california and i stand by it.

[vittoriostoraro]

@Descartes619 I don't know WHO the fuck you think you are... The definitive arbiter of taste ? At least people have the good sense to drive a BMW over a Transportation Appliance like a Camry. There are more BMWs than Camrys in my neighborhood too... There are also More, Mercedes, Porsches, Bentleys, Jags, Astin Martins & Rollers. the guy who last complimented my car was driving an Astin Martin Coupe. For the record, I don't live in San Francisco... I live in Woodsburgh, NY.

[vittoriostoraro]

@Descartes619

Also, what does "1 Series will be laughed at" mean ? Can you even form a coherent sentence ? The 135 has been almost universally praised as a great drivers car. Do you know anything but your own stunted, uninformed opinions ?

[Descartes619]

@vittoriostoraro aww... little baby fag got butt hurt??? go find a zipper, pull it down, and suck some dick bitch. your pocket rocket is for 16 year olds. BITCH.

[vittoriostoraro]

@Descartes619

WOW... SO clever.

 Too bad YOU can't afford one : )

[vittoriostoraro]

@Descartes619

16 year olds ? In that case I guess you are just the right age (mentally anyway) NOW if only you could come up with $40,000 plus...

[vittoriostoraro]

@Descartes619

E-mail me back when you get some manners and some life lessons you Fucking CHILD.

[immortal4942]

in Canada i quoted one going for 56,000$ CAD which is same dollar as us. the nisan 370z was cheaper and faster so i went for that, even though i still like the 135i its not worth the cash.

[sarokas12]

That 135i in my country costs more than 90.000$ (fully equiped)!!!

That's more than twice the price in USA!!!! Why the hell does that happen??

I want USA car prices...

[sarokas12]

Is that a transexual??

[JimBoopLoop]

most expensive car in its class

[NewYorkCityBoy123]

My father owns a 2009 BMW 1 Series. It is a fantastic car ! He let's me drive it a lot and it has a lot of power to it ! It's way better than my 2006 Nissan 350z ...

[wideopen704]

they need to put an SMG in one of these, till then, 6MT for me. The automatic in there now is also very impressive too.

[Sexfeverca]

@wideopen704

you can now order the 7 speed DCT

[gamarovitch]

This car would be absolutely perfect if it came with XDrive, I'm living in Canada and with the winter driving conditions we get six months a year, a rear wheel drive car is not the best way to go, unless you just use it for the other three seasons.

[jad921]

its not a 3.5 liter engine its actually a 3.0l twin turbo engine that bmw gave the confusing name of 135i

[mr2drifking]

3:08 shes got some nice thighs

[PuppetKing]

What is the point of having those useless backseats anyway? Just so BMW can add more more cost to the 1 series? They are just ridiculous.

[DeParisD]

@PuppetKing An average person can fit in the rear, but I know on higher end cars it's for insurance purposes.

[myjanuary151987]

This car is a sexy babe!

[Baltahfeek]

I am planning on buying one, but when I review the US News Rankings and Reviews, it lists the 2010 BMW 1 Series with a reliability of only 7.0, an interior of 6.8 and Safety score was an N/A (not available). Am I making a mistake? Can someone enlighten me?

[MrJackanthony]

@Baltahfeek If your pretty set on getting a bmw then the 3 series or 1 series is the way to go. in my opinion bmw has now become a status symbol more than a good car.(dont get me wrong. I have used a lot of cars my dad being in the business) but there are a whole lot of other options to look into as well. Private message me if I can help you with anything

[texasoperastar]

BMW - The Ultimate Joy Ride.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

image driven car..

[Emzieroy]

This..is my dream car. Ahhh!

[leffler2]

I bought my 1991 325i new and still have it! I still look back at it when parked. Got 148000 miles so the engine is just now broken in. Ride better than new.

So I'm looking at the 135i. Drooling is mire like it. Stay TUNED!

[whatismynamelmfao]

informative video. i cant decide between a 1 series or 3 series. i dont care about how fast they are; i like the look. is it worth paying 3k more for a 5 seater 3 series?

[6UNLEASHED]

that really depends on how many people you usually have in your car. Id suggest the 3 series if you usually are the one driving places and pick people up and want alittle more interior space. Id recommend the 1 series if your more performance oriented and have the occasional backseat passengers. The 1 series is visually appealing to the eye as i like the smaller shape BMW gave it, and nobody can denounce the fact that its outright fast! for the price, to me, its worth it, and they hold value

[skinnbone260]

5.3 second 0-60?? must be 128i. my 135 that i tested got 4.7 seconds

[ScLeCo]

You're a moron who completely misses the point.

[tootsiejoon]

No, youre a moron, a moron sucker

[tomriley123]

@tootsiejoon it's expensive because it's the 135i like what he said the more powerfull one in a small car 300 hp i think it's well priced.

[6UNLEASHED]

agreed

[pthom47]

My brother just bought the 135 convertable and he says he loves it but I have the bmw 328i convertable and IT IS THE BEST CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN! And it is much better thank the CLK 350

[YoungJordan23]

oh so you haven't drove his 135i then eh? lol;)

[srt4turbo1]

Well its not a 3.5 liter and it is a lot of car for the money....

[JimBoopLoop]

@srt4turbo1 not really

[harris3693]

@srt4turbo1 sure it is...you can get a ford GT premium for its price!!

[BlastDance]

@harris3693 But a Ford will never handle like a BMW! A Mustang GT Premium is only about 0.2 sec faster than a 135i, despite the fact that it has 115 extra hp. The suspension on a 135i is also significantly more sophisticated than a Mustang, and a good driver w/ a 135i can literally drive circles around a Mustang. And of course, the Mustang's interior is just plain cheap, too much hard plastic. So the 135i is a better overall package, w/ the Mustang you're paying for the engine, & not much else.

[harris3693]

@BlastDance but for most people, insurance is a big factor, remember, You only pay for the car once, but you keep on paying monthly for the car to keep it on the road.

[harris3693]

@BlastDance also, you get less metal for that price, like 30 grand for a car that was probably made for 19 grand in Germany!!!!

[harris3693]

@BlastDance and who cares about cheap plastic when you can tune the mustang to the max due to a plethora of performance parts, which can potentially make it produce 1000+ HP with the amount of money it takes to buy a 128i!!!

[bertalmighty]

@harris3693 1000+HP? You've been doing way too much youtube watching and not enough driving my friend.. Not many people can pull 1000 legitimate wheel horsepower out of their cars, and those that do have so much boost on them that they run it on a dyno to say that they can do it and then tune it way way back. Not to mention, the kind of stuff you'd need to do to a mustang to bring it to that kind of power would be rediculously expensive. If you want to invest the better part of 100k in a 'tang..

[dhillskier75]

@harris3693 you can't make any car reach 1000hp for 30-40k. plus it takes years of tuning.

[ar022296]

@harris3693 who cares about 1000 horsepoer? it's not economical & it's not practical. you dont need to drive fast in a cheap mustang.... i have a mustang but i'd take a bmw over a 1000 horsepower mustang anyday............

[NoxNoctisUmbra]

its a damn nice car, i would love one, but i still think its bit expensive..

[shircle]

Good review and a great car!

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

C30 T5 or 120d???

[rubensaevik]

BMW, ofcourse

The C30 is a ugly car, the BMW is better to drive and more reliable.

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

yeah, i'll go with your opinion.... the 120d looks fun to drive

[NoxNoctisUmbra]

Agree, not to mention C30 is FWD car , you never wanna spend around 30k on FWD car.

[matthewjvids]

i want the navy blue with red leather and chrome interior finish so i can name it superman

[RandomRobbins]

This Is My Dream Car

[chiccoka]

Man .You r not alone

i just an owner of E46 facelift .

But when i saw this car first time i wanted to replace the 3 series immidiately.Unfortunately this is not 4 my pocket.

Mayb later

[soapman7x7]

i like it aggressive and with very power engine ! i try/buy 123d Msport ! woooow

[LexLutherXL]

i really dont like the design.

but for its price it sounds like it can pack a punch

[TheAirsoftbeast22]

does it come standarad with i drive or nav

[SpiderStudiosPR]

no it doesn't

[ink170]

The idrive is a $2000 optional features even on the 135 trim. Don't waste your time with the 128. Get the 135 for the better engine and features. I bought a 135 last year and I love it. I've driven alot of cars, and this is by far the most fun commuter car I've had. I look forward to the drive to and from work every day.

[search4unknown]

Actually the 3 series BMW coupe seats 4.

[acuratlnigga]

truly a waste of money, not a propper feature in sight, when will bmw learn to make high Quality non volks wagon jetta interrior, which is so shit in my opinion.

[bewd6797]

Best car in it's class

[vittoriostoraro]

@bewd6797

Most people with any knowledge or intelligence agree : )

[spikeyeyerish]

@bewd6797 Only Car in Its class (rwd compact)

[bewd6797]

This is more geared towards the clc than the slk.

[soldier9599]

Except that that isn't sold in America.

[bewd6797]

Does this compete with the 2 door A4?

[mellilore]

The girl at the drive sucks: she's handling the wheel in very dangerous way (1:14 and 4:01)... yet I could forgive her...

[soldier9599]

Not really; it's not like she's tracking it.

[Kevinkim7]

me too. =)

[bewd6797]

Does this compete with the honda civic si coupe

[tomtom255]

No probably more geared towards 370Z/Audi TT/Mazda RX-8 territory.

[bewd6797]

Whats the type of car people call this

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

i think this car competes with the volvo c30 and the mini cooper

[fusion01wp]

Totally different league for the 135i. c30 0-100 in around 7.5 secs, Cooper S around 7.3 secs. 135i in around 5 secs.

[jredd84]

djkasdjkasdjdjdj,how could a 300 horsepower 135 compete with a volvo c30 or a mini cooper?there's just no competetion there the bmw is in a higher league.I used to own a cooper S and now I have a 1 series.While I preferred the stiff go-kart like handling of the cooper S,the 1 series is a tenacious performer with great acceleration that beats a porsche cayman's track times.How could a cooper or volvo compete with that?The 135 is even slightly faster than an M3!Come on dude, don't be such an idiot

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

wow, slow down dude, i get your point!!

[acuratlnigga]

your 1 series is donkey shit compared to my type ts tl 2005

[beamerman25]

its more a car than the tl will ever be. dont hate on cars you cannot and will never own

[3boody2000]

hot hot hot !! LOoOoOoOL !! BMW not the leg's !!!

[bobbykrepek]

Dos dis car compete withe da clk

[qsc324]

the benz?....nope

[mrdarkknight]

hey where's the "come with us" guy?

[walkwalkslow]

yikes. with all due respect, a couple year old S6 would be cheaper.

[viotech]

Sunroof?

[speedie2295]

at 1:53 despite the alphanumeric past the 135i has a twin turbo 3.0L straight six not a 3.5L

[jogga123]

Damn,thats a pretty amateur mistake.

[ricepaddy69]

at 4:16 , he corrects himself with the engine displacement, so I guess it works out in the end. But then again, some people might be confused on whether it is 3.0 or 3.5 L. Nice catch.

[WellImHereNow]

Im not a BMW fan and the 1 series coupe,convert or the 3/5 door hatchback we have here in euro is not something thats going to change my mind its not very pretty, ive got questions over the materials, rear seats are only for children and is to expencive. the main thing you paying for is the BMW badge looking for a good looking and driving coupe i would look somewhere else.

[Kevinkim7]

i want 1

[2001ricerocket]

does that sexy bitch come with it?

-had to say it lol

[tvo0007]

He did say airbags included

[youmils03]

Standard features include air conditioning w/climate control, tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, and power sunroof.

Options include leather upholstery, power frnot seats, universal garage door opener, premium sound system, iPod adapter, and keyless start.

The car is sporty and luxurious, and it costs $30,000. Impressive.

I'd take a 135i convertible if I had my choice of which 1-series I wanted. I have a 2007 Audi A4 right now, and I love it.

[mayitosalinas]

this videos are great!

[daeboyz305]

kbb came make a video of 2009 bmw m5

[WIGTRON5000]

twin turbo v6 wow

[youmils03]

Great high-performance sports car

[Blue387]

Can you do a review of the 3-Series? Like the BMW 335i?

[Pajapajin]

looks really nice
