WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.839 welcome to something a little bit different here on lineus Tech tips we 00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:11.519 had a unique opportunity to travel all the way to Germany to test drive the all 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:13.040 new BMW 1 Series so I guess that's 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:18.760 pretty much all there is to say other than come along for the 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:21.400 ride this is the allnew one series from 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:25.599 BMW a line of sporty economical hatchbacks that might surprise you 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:29.960 considering how much performance and Tech they've managed to cram into a car 00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:33.399 of this class compared to previous model mod the appearance of the new lineup has 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:37.760 been significantly improved they've added an allnew front bumper design with 00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:43.360 bigger intakes Slimmer LED headlights and classic BMW L-shaped LED tail lights 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:48.160 that weren't present on previous 1 series Vehicles it's available in a 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:53.719 variety of engine sizes ranging from 109 horsepower 3-cylinder all the way up to 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.160 a 326 horsepower turbocharged inline 6 00:00:53.719 --> 00:01:01.320 rocket ship with manual and automatic gearboxes available powering either rear 00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:03.399 wheel drive or BMW's all wheel X drive 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:09.200 now our car is equipped with an X Drive 120 diesel boasting the M sport package 00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:15.080 which features this sharp looking estal blue color a sporty front clip 17-in 00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:16.479 rims and an exclusive side trim but of 00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:20.360 course if I spent this whole video blathering on about rims cornering 00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:24.720 acceleration and breaking you'd probably think you clicked on the wrong Channel 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:30.640 and besides I'm comparing this to my heavily neglected 2003 Lambo anyway so 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 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 00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:45.880 loaded up one series 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.799 oh holy cow this thing has a lot of 00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:52.439 buttons on it look at this you can set like eight different radio stations I 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 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.560 be focused on 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 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:10.399 relied pretty heavily on this bad boy the pre-loaded maps feature realtime 00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:12.360 traffic on this like sick 3D view or a 00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:16.040 more traditional view if you prefer that and some other sweet add-ons including 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:21.000 different route mapping for best fuel economy least amount of time or shortest 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:25.280 route realtime speed limit updates using a front-facing camera in the windshield 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.200 to tell you hey there's a construction zone or hey there's adverse weather 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:33.080 conditions and this one is cool background monitoring of topographical 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.440 information that allows adaptive downshifting of the automatic 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.840 transmission When approaching an uphill 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:42.400 and it can also work with the cruise control system to decrease speed when it 00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:46.480 notices you're about to approach a corner with all that said all the smart 00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:51.040 navigation features in the world won't completely stop you from being an idiot 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.040 behind the 00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:56.519 wheel sorry but we can laugh about all 00:02:54.920 --> 00:03:00.640 of that and show off some more features now because I clearly survived now to be 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.920 clear most most of the features we're showing off are powered by BMW's 00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:10.000 optional connected Drive which uses a built-in 3G or LTE SIM card that sits in 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:14.799 a crash protected enclosure in the rear of the vehicle with the purchase of this 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.599 feature you get text messages SOS calls and an unlimited data plan with no 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:22.799 roaming from one European country to another and you can use that data plan 00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:27.920 for other cool stuff as well like Wiki local a button you press to see cool 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 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:36.840 you're into that sort of thing to expand BMW online's functionality you can plug 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:42.560 in a compatible phone in the armrest either with an adapter or USB cable run 00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:44.200 the BMW connection assistant this stuff 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:49.560 just like voice calls through your car speakers does use your own phone so your 00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:53.920 own mobile plan but also has some interesting third party apps internet 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 00:03:55.480 --> 00:04:00.840 other side of the world and audible can actually be integrated into your dash 00:03:59.480 --> 00:04:05.439 and let you listen to your favorite audiobooks without fumbling around on 00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:09.959 your phone while driving but if you're not that into audiobooks how about this 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 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:17.759 it up I didn't bring 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:22.000 it all right okay 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:25.080 so this is a totally contrived 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:28.720 opportunity for us to use the concierge 00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:31.720 service now Luke actually tried this 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.560 back at CES 2 years ago and said it was 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:38.639 pretty impressive he basically said they have to pretty much do whatever you ask 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 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 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 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:56.080 this goes welcome to BMW connected Drive 00:04:53.440 --> 00:05:00.600 speaking with lius lson how I help you wow your name's 00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:08.720

car and go find uh go find somewhere interesting to drive I 00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:55.560 don't have my keys how am I going to open this package breaking all the 00:06:53.560 --> 00:07:00.560 things I say that as if this is something new for me oh look at that 00:06:58.039 --> 00:07:04.599 it's open already okay hold on starting 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:11.720 preview sweet it's upside down well I was holding it upside down so nice so 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.720 let's go preview our position for 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:24.319 it the preview goes away when you go into drive 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:29.000 but recording look at that Bippity bity 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:29.000 magic Cinderella nonsense all right 00:07:30.039 --> 00:07:37.479 back to actual driving technology the adaptive cruise control or whatever BMW 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 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 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 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:55.800 decelerates and then stays stopped for less than 2 00:07:53.199 --> 00:08:02.960 seconds I want to put my foot back down but I don't need to apparently 00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:08.520 and last but not least the all new one series Parks 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:11.520 itself not just parallell but even into 00:08:08.520 --> 00:08:14.080 a stall using an array of sensors on the 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 00:08:15.400 --> 00:08:20.479 parking lot and of course oh hey I was 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 00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:30.639 reverse slowly and break manually uh-huh 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:37.080 okay this is kind of tripping me out right 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:42.800 now you can see okay the sensors are 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 00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:52.920 so uh-huh yeah oh drive forward 00:08:53.839 --> 00:08:58.560 slowly uh-huh yeah 00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:18.880 secure vehicle against rolling away you got it 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 00:09:20.839 --> 00:09:26.720 being so hospitable and I want to thank you guys as well for watching the video

actually especially if 00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:39.120 you have suggestions for future videos cuz this whole car technology thing is 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:41.680 coming pretty close together these days so uh it's probably not the last time 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 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:49.040 to follow And subscribe
