Check out real-world situations relating to the BMW 118d here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• A dealer damaged my car

  The damage was done by one of the dealers, not BMW itself, so you have to work out which dealer it was that did it and when it was done and then attempt to negotiate a settlement with that dealer.

  If you have solid proof of who did it then perhaps take it to the consumer affairs people in NSW and ask for their help.

• Audi RS Q3 or BMW 135i, which is more fun?

  That's a rather subjective question that's almost impossible to answer. It also depends on what you call fun. Both would be fun to drive, but if I were to make the choice purely on the driving experience I would choose the BMW.

• Aircon comparison between cars

  Generally it was always felt that the air-conditioning of European cars wasn’t up to the task for Australia; that was because there wasn’t the demand for powerful A/C in Europe where the climate is generally milder. But when the European carmakers began to move on to the world market and export their cars to places like America where the demand for good A/C is very high they have improved the performance of the A/C systems in their cars. The cars you say have had good air are cars that are typically built for the US market, those you say don’t have good performance are not. A/C systems soak up quite a bit of engine power in driving the compressor and that has a greater impact on smaller engines than big ones, and again the cars you are critical of have smaller engines, so they will also probably run smaller compressors.
