00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,839
welcome to something a little bit different here on lineus Tech tips we

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:11,519
had a unique opportunity to travel all the way to Germany to test drive the all

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:13,040
new BMW 1 Series so I guess that's

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:18,760
pretty much all there is to say other than come along for the

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,400
ride this is the allnew one series from

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:25,599
BMW a line of sporty economical hatchbacks that might surprise you

7
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,960
considering how much performance and Tech they've managed to cram into a car

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:33,399
of this class compared to previous model mod the appearance of the new lineup has

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,760
been significantly improved they've added an allnew front bumper design with

10
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:43,360
bigger intakes Slimmer LED headlights and classic BMW L-shaped LED tail lights

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:48,160
that weren't present on previous 1 series Vehicles it's available in a

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:53,719
variety of engine sizes ranging from 109 horsepower 3-cylinder all the way up to

13
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:56,160
a 326 horsepower turbocharged inline 6

14
00:00:53,719 --> 00:01:01,320
rocket ship with manual and automatic gearboxes available powering either rear

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,399
wheel drive or BMW's all wheel X drive

16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:09,200
now our car is equipped with an X Drive 120 diesel boasting the M sport package

17
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:15,080
which features this sharp looking estal blue color a sporty front clip 17-in

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,479
rims and an exclusive side trim but of

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,360
course if I spent this whole video blathering on about rims cornering

20
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:24,720
acceleration and breaking you'd probably think you clicked on the wrong Channel

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:30,640
and besides I'm comparing this to my heavily neglected 2003 Lambo anyway so

22
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:37,280
why don't I do a solid a favor and leave the car reviews to the car guys which a

23
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:41,079
was that too soon and hop on over to some of the top Tech features of our

24
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:45,880
loaded up one series

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,799
oh holy cow this thing has a lot of

26
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,439
buttons on it look at this you can set like eight different radio stations I

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,560
can do like six in mind I don't think that's the technology we're supposed to

28
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,560
be focused on

29
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:05,399
but first up for me was the nav system now obviously I'm in Fring Germany so I

30
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:10,399
relied pretty heavily on this bad boy the pre-loaded maps feature realtime

31
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,360
traffic on this like sick 3D view or a

32
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:16,040
more traditional view if you prefer that and some other sweet add-ons including

33
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:21,000
different route mapping for best fuel economy least amount of time or shortest

34
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:25,280
route realtime speed limit updates using a front-facing camera in the windshield

35
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,200
to tell you hey there's a construction zone or hey there's adverse weather

36
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,080
conditions and this one is cool background monitoring of topographical

37
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:37,440
information that allows adaptive downshifting of the automatic

38
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,840
transmission When approaching an uphill

39
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,400
and it can also work with the cruise control system to decrease speed when it

40
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:46,480
notices you're about to approach a corner with all that said all the smart

41
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:51,040
navigation features in the world won't completely stop you from being an idiot

42
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,040
behind the

43
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:56,519
wheel sorry but we can laugh about all

44
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:00,640
of that and show off some more features now because I clearly survived now to be

45
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:04,920
clear most most of the features we're showing off are powered by BMW's

46
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:10,000
optional connected Drive which uses a built-in 3G or LTE SIM card that sits in

47
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:14,799
a crash protected enclosure in the rear of the vehicle with the purchase of this

48
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,599
feature you get text messages SOS calls and an unlimited data plan with no

49
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,799
roaming from one European country to another and you can use that data plan

50
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,920
for other cool stuff as well like Wiki local a button you press to see cool

51
00:03:25,239 --> 00:03:32,000
stuff to do nearby or getting real-time stock updates in the dash of your car if

52
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:36,840
you're into that sort of thing to expand BMW online's functionality you can plug

53
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:42,560
in a compatible phone in the armrest either with an adapter or USB cable run

54
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:44,200
the BMW connection assistant this stuff

55
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:49,560
just like voice calls through your car speakers does use your own phone so your

56
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,920
own mobile plan but also has some interesting third party apps internet

57
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,840
radio was one that let me feel a little more at home even though I was on the

58
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,840
other side of the world and audible can actually be integrated into your dash

59
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:05,439
and let you listen to your favorite audiobooks without fumbling around on

60
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,959
your phone while driving but if you're not that into audiobooks how about this

61
00:04:07,239 --> 00:04:14,439
one there's a GoPro app that's sick Nick where's the GoPro we should totally set

62
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,759
it up I didn't bring

63
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:22,000
it all right okay

64
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:25,080
so this is a totally contrived

65
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,720
opportunity for us to use the concierge

66
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:31,720
service now Luke actually tried this

67
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,560
back at CES 2 years ago and said it was

68
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:38,639
pretty impressive he basically said they have to pretty much do whatever you ask

69
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:42,039
and they can't hang up on you so Luke like kept the guy on the phone forever

70
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,880
we're not going to do that but we're just going to place a call and we're

71
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:50,680
going to get someone to tell us where to buy a GoPro in Munich so let's see how

72
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:56,080
this goes welcome to BMW connected Drive

73
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,600

you probably know and I need to buy a GoPro camera so

79
00:05:23,479 --> 00:05:31,080
I need like a general electronics store and I was hoping that you could help me

80
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:36,000
find one and turn navigation system on to help me get

81
00:05:32,919 --> 00:05:40,560
there okay let's see

82
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:44,600

00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:48,479
media Mark are they open right now let's

84
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:51,240

00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:58,120
be open oh awesome well it's actually not that far from your current position

86
00:05:53,759 --> 00:06:00,280
either it's uh well air distance is uh

87
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:04,479
4.6 km great sending it to your car as we speak

88
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,840
as a destination so just let me know when it shows

00:06:44,599 --> 00:06:50,520
mounted on the car and go find uh go find somewhere interesting to drive I

98
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,560
don't have my keys how am I going to open this package breaking all the

99
00:06:53,560 --> 00:07:00,560
things I say that as if this is something new for me oh look at that

100
00:06:58,039 --> 00:07:04,599
it's open already okay hold on starting

101
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:11,720
preview sweet it's upside down well I was holding it upside down so nice so

102
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,720
let's go preview our position for

103
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:24,319
it the preview goes away when you go into drive

104
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:29,000
but recording look at that Bippity bity

105
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:29,000
magic Cinderella nonsense all right

106
00:07:30,039 --> 00:07:37,479
back to actual driving technology the adaptive cruise control or whatever BMW

107
00:07:34,599 --> 00:07:41,120
calls it is one thing that blew my socks off there's basically a radar box in the

108
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:47,360
front of the car that allows you to set a speed up to 210 kmph then just forget

109
00:07:45,159 --> 00:07:51,840
about it you'll automatically slow down and even stop if the car in front of you

110
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,800
decelerates and then stays stopped for less than 2

111
00:07:53,199 --> 00:08:02,960
seconds I want to put my foot back down but I don't need to apparently

112
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:08,520
and last but not least the all new one series Parks

113
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:11,520
itself not just parallell but even into

114
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,080
a stall using an array of sensors on the

115
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:18,520
bumpers we've got the mode on and we're just kind of cruising along in the

116
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,479
parking lot and of course oh hey I was

117
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:26,639
going to say of course the time you go to demo it it doesn't work but it did

118
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:30,639
reverse slowly and break manually uh-huh

119
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,080
okay this is kind of tripping me out right

120
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:42,800
now you can see okay the sensors are

121
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,240
like yeah I don't like that but you're I mean you're the one doing this

122
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:52,920
so uh-huh yeah oh drive forward

123
00:08:53,839 --> 00:08:58,560
slowly uh-huh yeah

124
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,880
secure vehicle against rolling away you got it

125
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,920
buddy so I guess that's pretty much it I want to thank the people of Germany for

126
00:09:20,839 --> 00:09:26,720
being so hospitable and I want to thank you guys as well for watching the video

127
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:29,839
today like it if you liked it dislike it if you thought it just plain sucked

128
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,399
leave a comment if you have suggestions for future videos actually especially if

129
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:39,120
you have suggestions for future videos cuz this whole car technology thing is

130
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:41,680
coming pretty close together these days so uh it's probably not the last time

131
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,959
you're going to see this kind of thing from us and as always guys don't forget

132
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,040
to follow And subscribe and all that good stuff if you want to see more

133
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,760
videos from us because you don't want to do those things if you don't want to see

134
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:57,760
more videos from us because that would be pretty stupid thanks again for

135
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,760
watching and I'll see you guys next time
