Today I show you the all-new BMW 1 Series 2021 right next to the old generation (F20) which my friend has. Cars have different layout as the old one drives on different platform and has RWD, while the new one got the FAAR platform with FWD layout. Also, the shape has changed, no more long hood as the new generation only has 3 & 4 cylinder engines.
In this video you can see the design changes - bigger grill, different headlights & LED DRL's, side view is also very different. At the back we have slimmer taillights (looking better at the back I would say compared to the old one). Interior has gained new screen and digital cokcpit, as well as the new M seats. Space inside has increased for the passengers (33mm more legroom, 19 mm more head room), and also the trunk is now bigger (380 litres).
I drove both cars and here is the verdict: driving position is much better on the new one(!), and also this 118i has 4 HP more (now 140 HP) and sounds a bit better (I was surprised with that). In terms of driving the new one is a proper diver's car, even though it's a FWD drives so well. Older one is more fun that's true and also the shifting of the automatic is a bit smoother when you shift in sport mode (you only feel the difference when the car shifts at 6500 RPM, it's a bit smoother on the older one which has the ZF automatic).
Overall I think the new one is a step up as it's still great to drive, has more modern design and it's more practical, but I admit that you can have more fun with the old generation and RWD.
Tell me in your comments which one would you take and why?
Many thanks to my friend for bringing his car and of course to Sixt Rent-a-car for giving me the new 1 Series on a test
