Generally great review mate. Point of note:

Good review. I have owned a M140 for nearly 6 years. Only regret is I bought the 3 door. Before that I had an E90 M3, 4.0ltr NA V8. In a drag race to 100mph the M140 would blow away the M3.

The championship edition is the only M140i that came with a LSD as standard. The champ edition was a limited run of only 30 cars to commemorate BMW’s 2017 BTCC win.

Great review one of the best I've seen on this car over the years .

Enjoyed the review and have subscribed to the channel. Still have a soft spot for these. Did a test drive in one a few years back but opted for the BMW 335d saloon instead. They are still on my radar thought and they look great. Went for the Xdrive in the end in order to put the power down without tailspin as seen a few reviews of these in the wet and thought, nah, too risky! Again, enjoyed the commentary in this video and it made me giggle when you said you could take your granny in one of these while you were bouncing up an down in your seat!

Wonderful! The best hot hatch ever

This is a three-door car. The pity is that BMW never worked that out. Their small 2-door car, the 2-series, has been a sales failure, which is why you only see M2/M240i. The three-door F21 doesn't have horrid postage-stamp side windows, nor those nasty rear-door windows whose ugliness is supported by the questionable pillar. The bottom side panel is different on the F21, so the black decal covers most of the panel and actually looks good. This looks so much better it should have been standard, but they didn't work this out either. White paint/red leather is the good combo. Two large F21 side windows are enhanced by a sunroof, and this is a vanishingly rare bodyshell, I'm told 1 in 1000. Here you get instant open/closed near-convertible status at any speed.

Great in depth review of this superb car I really enjoyed it 🙂

I have one myself and the only thing i hate about it is the noisy tappy tappy injectors especially between 1k and 2k sounds horrible especially if you driving closely next to something like a wall, and i actually prefer the car without the dif but other mods. The dif make you slide about more but its predictable
