WARSAW, POLAND • JANUARY 2022, 01.00 AM

Cruising around Warsaw in "Eco Mode" in the All-New Bmw 1 Series (F40) to see what we can expect from it more or less ? The 118i steptronic is the 2nd least powerful engine but this one got upgraded to the M-Sport Model Pack (suspension / steering wheel / aerodynamics bodykit = sportier character & predatory look). It also includes options like : panoramic roof, tinted windows, 18" wheels, ambient lights, leather seats, leather steering wheel, virtual cockpit, center console touchscreen (matt finished = no sunlight glares). So basically, this is what you get for exactly 153.300PLN/€34K/$38.5K (price may vary for eur/usd). ••• The result of this "Pov Eco Mode Driving" is : 6,6L/100km (37 us mpg / 45 uk mpg) --- see result @ 21:41.

00:00 --- Walkaround (sorry for the music but there were to much wind-noise )
00:28 --- Trunk / boot (380L • 13.42 cu. ft.)
01:00 --- Second row
01:04 --- Sunshade
01:15 --- Panoramic Roof
01:54--- Eco Pro Mode
02:04--- Starting to drive
04:00 --- Joining the road
07:00 --- Banq Square
08:02 --- Marszalkowska Street (Avenue)
09:15 --- Warsaw City Center
13:10 --- Joining the Vistula River Highway
21:41 --- 6,6L/100km (37 us mpg / 45 uk mpg)

😱 FIRST IMPRESSION ?
This car looks way better in real life than in pictures / videos I saw previously or even on the Bmw Configurator (I did sooo many times, but never felt the vibe for it). All is just perfect.. doesn't come cheap though..

🤔 WHAT ABOUT THE CAR ?
[ + ] M-Sport Pack
[ + ] Very easy to drive
[ + ] Good view
[ + ] Good driver's lower adjusted seat position
[ + ] Virtual Cockpit & Touchscreen (matt finished = no glares)
[ + ] Beautiful interior
[ - ] Like in the 3 series F20 I driven few videos back, the lack of space in the second row also comes up.. definitely not meant for people over 1,70m (5"5).. unless you won't opt for the panoramic roof which makes that second row very tight..
[ - ] Pricey 153.300PLN/€34K/$38.5K

💦 FUEL CONSUMPTION ?
21:41 Eco Mode Drive = I reached 6,6L/100km (37 us mpg / 45 uk mpg).
