Bmw 1 series and golf GTI, who will choose the steel gun in the end? (Part I)

Hundreds of thousands of steel guns, GTI and BMW 1 series are options you can never avoid.

Which one suits you?

What's the difference between them?

After reading this issue, you will definitely have your own answer.

This series is divided into two parts. The first part is BMW 1 18, and the video is about 17 minutes. Please prepare melon seed drinks, and it is recommended to connect to WIFI to watch.

About BMW 1 Series:

The BMW 1 series has many highlights, but BMW didn't publicize it. At that time, 1 was only imported directly, and BMW itself didn't take 1 seriously, and didn't even think about the quantity. If you don't believe me, after BMW attaches importance to this market, the domestic predecessor 1 series and X 1 series directly sell crazy! What are the three signs and what are the precursors? Consumers don't care.

Needless to say, BMW's failure to publicize does not mean that BMW 1 series has no selling point. On the contrary, this car has many selling points!

First of all, this is the last four-cylinder rear-drive BMW 1 series imported from Germany, and it is also the cheapest rear-drive you can buy in the latest year.

In the later period, the domestic BMW 1 system changed the front platform and 3-cylinder engine. As for the difference between the rear drive and the front drive, it is enough to open another video separately, so I won't expand it here.

About the power system:

This engine code is N 13B 16, 1.6T turbocharged, which is jointly developed by BMW and PSA (Peugeot Citroen) * *, and is widely used in small-displacement cars of BMW and PSA. Representative models are BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, Citroen C4L, Citroen C5, Peugeot 508, 408, etc.

The version used by PSA is mostly the same as that used by BMW, but the PSA version lacks an important function-variable valve lift, which is also the symbolic technology of BMW engine. Without this technology, although the absolute power has little influence, this technology still has a great influence on the actual response of power.

BMW is equipped with a complete version of N 13B 16, and technologies such as VANOS, VALVETRONIC, in-cylinder direct injection, turbocharging, single turbine and double scroll are readily available.

BMW/KOOC-0/was the only two models on sale at that time,/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/6 and/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/8. In terms of power, 1 18 is 34 more than 1 16, reaching 170, but 1 18 and1. In addition, the main difference is program calibration.

In addition, this engine is also heavily mounted on MINI models. On COOPERS, the horsepower of this engine has reached 184 horsepower.

Although 1 series is fun to drive, 1 series is rarely modified. In the final analysis, the history is a little poor, because the 1 series itself is not particularly long, golf itself is a car series with a long history, and GTI is also a fixed product sequence produced by each generation.

So to put it bluntly, BMW 1 series has few stories, insufficient publicity, few people playing and relatively few modified parts.

However, the lack of people playing does not mean that BMW 1 series has no potential. This kind of machine, which is brushed by the first-order program in the original factory, does not need hardware, so it is no problem to speed up in one second, and the upgrade is safer. Even 1 16 can be directly painted as 1 18, without long and intense driving.

In addition, this gearbox has great potential and can accommodate a maximum torque of 450 Nm. Both 320 and 328 are equipped with the same gearbox. Considering that it is impossible to replace the 1 series with such a large torque, theoretically, if this car is to be modified, the gearbox will basically not move.

About common diseases:

When it comes to BMW, many people's first impression is that BMW burns oil, leaks oil and has high maintenance costs.

However, the engine N 13B 16 equipped with 165438 is really a worry-free machine.

In fact, after automatically entering the F chassis, the overall reliability of BMW has been greatly improved, including F 18? Series 5, F35/F30? Series 3, F20? 1 series and so on.

This N 13B 16 engine has almost no oil leakage. At present, our car is 60 thousand kilometers long, and no obvious oil spill has been found.

The main hidden trouble of this engine is that the early turbine water pipe sealing ring is easy to leak on the waterway, and a water pipe base (part 1) on the back of the machine is prone to problems.

Fortunately, these problems are relatively easy to solve. The sealing ring of turbine water pipe is directly equipped with a third party according to the size, which is better than the original quality. After replacement, it will basically not leak again. The replacement of the other water pipe base requires a little man-hours, but the overall cost is not high.

In addition, the turbine connecting rod has a certain probability of abnormal sound. If the connecting rod assembly is directly replaced, the cost is relatively high, but most of it can also be solved by replacing the third-party accessories.

About burning oil:

If this engine burns oil at a low mileage (60,000-70,000 km), there is a high probability that the waste gas valve is broken, so it is good to replace it, but in fact it is the diaphragm inside the waste gas valve that is broken. Although BMW officially does not provide this accessory, this part can already be bought in the GM aftermarket! So the replacement cost is also controllable.

Burning oil100000 km or more, you can replace the valve oil seal (this is an ancestral problem of BMW).

These are the parts of this BMW 1 series that are prone to problems. There are several fixed failure points, but the relative cost of maintenance will not be too high. On the whole, it is quite worry-free.

If we have to pick a shortcoming of this engine, it is that the engine sound is not good, and the high-pressure oil pump is noisy, especially when the cold car is started, and the noise control is not very good. Moreover, due to the limitation of displacement, the high-speed sound is also relatively thin. Although the power is very good, the sound of this engine is really not very good.

About driving:

Have you ever thought that BMW would be very comfortable? Sometimes, you may forget that you drive a BMW.

This is a BMW that can drive leisurely with one hand.

You don't have to be nervous all the time to drive a BMW, but you can also have a life side. After a long time, you will feel integrated with the car.

When you want to relax cruising, it will take the initiative to upshift and save fuel. The gearbox won't compare with you, and the steering wheel is as soft as a Japanese car.

When you want to gallop, the car will be awakened as soon as it kicks the floor oil, and the fierce horse in the depths of your soul will be ready.

In fact, the whole BMW feels softer when it is replaced by F chassis. Unlike the previous BMW with E chassis, as long as you start with the steering wheel, you can immediately feel that this is a very sporty car.

The BMW with F chassis will filter some vibrations on the road very well, and also provide driving mode selection. In the default comfort mode, driving is easy and comfortable, and a little girl won't feel any pressure at all. This is why there are many girls in this generation of 1 series owners.

Comfortable driving doesn't mean that BMW 1 department doesn't exercise. BMW or BMW? When you switch to sport mode and shift to S gear, you will find that your familiar BMW is back! Hold the steering wheel with both hands and feel the pleasure of integrating people and cars!

As far as sportiness is concerned, the dynamic parameters, acceleration experience, chassis response and body attitude control of BMW 1 series have completely reached the standards of a steel gun or even a performance car.

But there is no way to classify it as a pure steel gun performance car.

First, as a steel gun, the chassis is not hard enough, not that it is soft, but not hard enough, not simple and rude enough, not straight enough;

In addition, regarding the creation of driving atmosphere, in fact, BMW 1 system is not as direct as Golf GTI.

The sound is not deep enough, and there is no heavy engine sound. I don't feel as fast as golf GTI (in fact, the acceleration level is similar, and the BMW 1 system is actually better).

But not being hard does not mean that it is not well controlled. 1 series is a BMW series, which is the most fun to drive, even better than the 3 series in the same period. The direction refers to where to hit, and the power is above 3000 rpm. The matching between the 8-speed ZF gearbox and the engine has reached its peak.

In 20 19, we sold at least 20 BMW 1 series.

The reason why BMW 1 series is so favored by us is precisely because of its bright spots, and these bright spots, combined with its current used car market, we think that 1 series is a very cost-effective car in this market segment.

Some people say that BMW 1 tethers are small and the space is narrow;

Some people say that buying an entry-level BBA is to buy a standard for the sake of cheapness.

I have to pick up customers, take my parents and children on a trip, and this is the only car at home. If you buy the 1 series, you must see all the shortcomings.

But are small cars really a disadvantage?

For men who love driving, the smaller the car, the better. Small car, short axle, rear drive, strong power and double driving pleasure!

For girls, the smaller the car, the better. Luxury brand, light and easy to open, convenient to park, saving time and worry is king!

Say BMW 1 system has small space?

Is it the fault of the car?

No, that's your fault!

You bought the wrong car!

Ironically, others buy BMW 1 series keyboard man with squinted eyes and colored glasses.

Have you considered buying a BMW 1 series? There is often more than one car at home.

It's convenient and fun for you to buy this car.

For these sour keyboard men, I just want to say,

Do you think it's weird?

Where is the evaluation of GTI?

Stay tuned for the next issue.
