One of the finest of its kind easily mistaken for something else
BMW gave the market a perfect car with
the introduction of 1 series. The shape was different from other BMW products
as well as many others around. Since then the shape has not been changed much.
BMW 120d |
Even in the present one, the traces of
older touches remain which is good to keep the individuality alive. The present
one has the flare alive giving the buyers a chance to feel a classic built.
There is also the inner cabin which
catches attention. It is surprisingly cool. There are the well-balanced seats
that are going to make you relax when on long roots and give you a sporty
touch.
There is the cabin environment which
really makes the driver and front passenger feel as if in an upmarket car. This
is a small car but it is not going to disappoint the owner in any way. BMW 120d engines are worth buying.
The car is fitted with a very quiet
and refined diesel engine which can easily make the passenger feel as if it is
petrol. An amazing thing is that it is going to be economical also as most of
the diesel engines are.
This small car is not going to
misbehave whether you are taking it in a long journey or in town as reaching
the higher speeds or lowering down when needed is an amazing thing.
Is 184 hp enough?
The diesel engine powering this BMW is
a 2.0-litre engine which has 184 hp output. The engine is turbocharged with 280
lb-ft of torque. These figures are superb on paper and in reality, you will
easily get the performance surpassing these numbers.
This diesel engine is tuned to give as
much power to the driver as he wants but obviously, it has to stop at its
limit. There is a lot of margin for performance, speed and engine efficiency.
Whether you are on the highway or in
town there is nothing which is going to stop you from driving there. Taking
over is not a problem at all the engine gives a lot of power to make its
presence known.
For keen drivers, this unit fits well.
There is a six-speed manual transmission paired with this engine which is both
smooth and fast. Changing gears is not an issue it seems as if the action has
taken just a second to take place.
BMW 120d engines replacement is another thing which always supports the owner when there is an
issue. The deal is not going to cost much as prices are kept within easy reach
by the dealers.
The driving excellence
Driving a BMW is always fun and there
is no doubt about that. So when you are inside the car there is like you have
entered another world. The diesel engine power plus that amazing torque combine
together to make a winning combination.
There is nothing which is going to
stop you from covering that straight road and then the curved one is also a
joy. Turning the car on sharp turns is fun as the wheels and steering obey
properly.
The bumps underneath seem to flatten
when the suspensions start to work. This small size sedan is going to give a
sporty experience but the vehicle is never out of control. The steering has
proper weight and gives the right feedback to the driver.
The deep potholes do disturb the inner
peace but it is because the suspension is at the firmer side. When you replace
the engine with the refreshed BMW 120d engine rebuild there is going to be a fresh start again. It
seems as if the car is going to be on the road for the first time.
High-quality interior
BMW take very good care of the
material they use inside. In this one there is also high-quality material used
inside with a bit firm seats but the cloth upholstery is excellent. The
dashboard is dashing with a neat layout and everything in reach of the driver.
The colour may seem boring but then
there is a less funky choice in most of them. The driver seat has good
adjustment angles as well as a good outer vision. The legroom is great here but
not at the back. But it is not that bad, even the taller people can fit in for
a short run but it will become a problem in longer journeys.
