Hi Matt a quick suggestion, maybe you could do a couple of episodes where you show viewers how the small fixes and repairs are done. I think it would be interesting content and also help viewers keep their cost of car ownership down in these expensive times. Thanks for the vids great content.

Once again an excellent video as always. You truly bring these cars back to life for a new owner to enjoy for many miles to come. Cheers Matt!

Again looks great - as a fellow hater of 3d plates, I was astonished that someone went to the effort of getting them then put them on wonky 🙄

Great success. Another perfectly usable vehicle ready to go. The old adage, "Buy with confidence" springs to mind.

Your a top guy and a passionate car seller. Impressed by your drive. Going the extra smile, even changing the air vents its the little things that always matter!

I have a 2010 118d which I bought in March 2023 with a 152000 miles on it. I travel the east of the UK as a therapy nurse. It’s not missed a beat it now has 162350 miles full service history, very economical and cheap to tax. For work this is a fun hard working car.

Great work on this 1 series Matt,another cracking video,although the steering wheel could do with a going over with some warm soapy water/all purpose cleaner and a magic eraser,first thing a person holds is the steering wheel and a matt (excuse the pun) finish beats a shiny wheel every time,ive been doing it for years...😊

Great work Matt...Yet again another great bit of work turning a tired looking car into a very desirable one and hopefully making between 1.3-1.5k profit...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Good work Matt 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A good save Matt, no overspend or unexpected costly surprises and you’ve kept another car with a lot of life left in, on the road.

I think this 1 series has been a real good turn around, good profit (when you sell it) also not that expensive to buy. The car looked really good when finished.

late again! tried watching yesterday after seeing the notification but couldn’t find the video! 😂 1 series is a nice car, but always problematic. loving the quite frequent ‘i bought a cheap…’ videos lately! ❤

I got a 6 year old used 116i Performance Editon, the 2ltr. 3o,ooo miles from a BMW dealer in 2017 for about 8k. FBMWSH, 12 month warranty, fresh MOT and with a new set of 18" OEM alloy wheels. First car! Only serious issue was new drive shafts due to a corroded ring sensor at 59k miles. Currently on 7ok. It's nothing fancy, but I keep it clean and tidy as I can for a 12 year old car. Last year did a trip across Ireland, 45o miles out of one tank of petrol. Cracking.

It's interesting when these were first released in the early 2000s, they were considered ugly, with those banana side sills, unusual front and poor space utilisation, particularly in the rear seat area but it was the first low priced BMW and they sold well. The Bangle styling copped a lot of criticism but with all the comments made here, no one says anything about the styling and these days, along with the E60, it is considered cool and almost modern. I think it now looks better than a lot of more modern cars. It was a good drive too......

I wish I could find bargain priced cars at these prices you buy them for . You do an excellent job on the cars and I'm hooked to the channel

Love watching these, cheers Matt. I would really like to see the end result, i.e. how much they sold for etc. if you could ever add this information it would be great :)

Good video Matt. I REALLY HATED the 1 series till a few yrs bk my wife was stuck for a motor has her one just went bang. A mechanic friend off mine told me about a 120d he had for sale it was within my small budget 😢 wife actually drove it for 3 years only issue was a rear abs sensor and a out off shape tyre 😂 a very good lil car 🚗 😊

Love this kind of cheap cars .keep bring this

Nice, quick turnaround, Matt - with profit too! 👍

I had 2006 120d, which I bought new. Had it for 9 years and there wasn’t much problem with it. The earth went out twice, and I had to change the turbine once but I got that cheap because of goodwill. Fun little car. 😊

I had a 2007 120D for a similar duration after 2x E46 3 series. I replaced a drive shaft due to rusty speed sensor, a couple of injectors due to leakage causing no start and the final drive was whining a bit when it left me but overall it had been a good car.

Honestly, as soon as I saw the mileage I winced because I knew it would’ve needed a timing chain. Even listened for the rattle when you started it! I’m shocked it’s actually been done because those N43 engines always need injectors or chains

Had a 60 plate come in last week for heavy steering due to the rack motor packing up. You could start it and it would be fine and next moment you drive it and goes heavy or threw on a Christmas Tree of lights on the dash. Customers bought a second hand one and it was a simple fit and plug and play.

Hi Matt, excellent work you've been putting in your videos! I really enjoy watching them! Keep going! Wind deflectors: I am not a super car person, I like originality, however, if you have kids, coming out swimming lessons, you have to open your windows. If it's raining, you have to open as well and, with wind deflectors you don't get water inside and you have air flow! 😁 That's my reason for using them- air flow. Not sure if I can also gain 20hp in my 207sw ! Never thought about it in that way 😅😅 👍👍👍

Genuinely thought you were in Spain for the first 20 seconds. Seemed way too sunny for the UK. Also the sound is working for me

From what I have read, the 1 Series was initially developed to be a Rover, at the time when BMW owned Rover. Never understood the attraction other than the badge. Thanks for the video, engaging as always. Wishing you well with the sale.

Super glue to fix the tyre Matt.

The door rear check strap is a common fault. This is a 1.6 being an b43b16a Front pdc is a nice option. Rear wiper motors are usually seized solid.

Looked like a bluetooth USB adapter plugged into aux audio socket behind handbrake. I recall a Car mag review of the E30 back in the day and the comment that the extra cost of a BMW provides better build quality that probably the only second or third owner would really benefit from.

Solid car and worth what you are asking all day long, plenty of years life left in it

I’ve always fancied a 1 series, it would have to be a diesel but pre dpf. I had the predecessor the e46 compact 2.0d and loved it (I sold it to get an Alfa 156 2.4 jtd) It was a fun little car but I had endless problems with the AC. My mate had a 1 series 118d and it was very nippy indeed. They’re nimble little cars and have a great chassis. You worked your magic on this one 👌🏼 You are so correct about those hideous chavvy number plates 🤮
