So ive just traded my Golf R in for one of these i have the auto. Ive had it a week and there is definitely no regrets. I was a bit terrified of the potential fuel consumption - but the beauty of this car is you can make it sip the fuel with normal driving in eco/comfort mode and itll return respectable figures, my normal driving averages 34mpg (i got 27 in the Golf) which is amazing considering the power of this car. It can be a quiet sophisticated, comfortable cruiser - but it can play the animal very well also. Obviously if you cane it all the time the mpg will drop to early-mid 20s, but overall its a great car for the money, that 6 pot engine is an absolute peach. So I guess to anyone thinking of getting one - do it now!

The side stripe adds a good amount of aggression and uniqueness. Furthermore, it’s an OEM BMW M performance mod. Don’t listen to what others have to say, if you like it then you like it. I do admit it looks better on the 4 series, but nevertheless, it sort of ‘completes’ the M performance look.

I went for a 2017 LCI SE in white with the same accents / aero package your car has (in OP video). I am absolutely astonished how a 3.0L turbo engine can be so good on fuel, I have managed 217 miles as I ticked over to half a tank... that's incredible! I only live a 4 minute trip from where I work, so more than anything this is my weekend car as during the week it barely sees any miles or action.

Came back to this a few years later as I finally got out and test drove one of these. I’ll be honest, I was totally intimidated by it at first, I’ve had a Mini Cooper S which is the fastest car I’ve owned, nothing compared to this. I currently drive a 1 series diesel so still RWD but no way near enough power to cause any concern. I can thankfully say tho, I absolutely loved it. Drove amazingly and that power was just mind blowing (to me). I didn’t find it sketchy at all and it was completely standard so still had the open diff, I didn’t try and get it sideways however as I wasn’t quite confident enough and it also wasn’t my car. I did have it in sport+ with the traction off and never once felt I wasn’t in control. The roads were very dry however and was about 22 degrees so the conditions may have played a part in that. I’ve been looking at these for ages and now have saved up enough money to buy a hot hatch. Things like servicing and general running costs concern me but I’ve seen some videos that have eased that, honestly doesn’t seem too bad to run and if you buy a hot hatch you’re always gonna be paying more running costs which I’m fine with (as long as they’re not eye watering). I am thinking of servicing with a specialist rather than main dealer as it will be cheaper and I’ve been taking my current bmw there and they have been great. If anyone has any insight into running an M140i daily in 2023 please do share!

How does the LSD play with the traction control which has been carefully calibrated to an open differential? Is there any remapping involved? I imagine that much of the TC programming is there solely to negate and optimise the open differentials response to any adverse condition with mind blowing algorithms calibrated to the tiniest units of time, speed, loading etc etc. There could be potential for a dangerous conflict with both the TC and LSD overlapping in their function. There's potential for them to compliment each other too. I would like to do this upgrade if there are no doubts about it's safety/feasibility.. Decided to get an M140i in the near future...

Funny you should complain about the fuel consumption when almost every other review I have seen says that it’s very good on fuel. I’m currently driving a 2008 civic type r and with solid motorway driving at 65mph I can hit 44mph but mix that with some town driving and some vtec I’ll be averaging 30mpg if I’m lucky. Now I’m led to believe that the m135i and m140i could give me the same if not better fuel consumption whilst offering and extra 100bhp and 200ftlb.

Love the car, waiting for more videos on it. Surely if you need apple car play that bad you would of bought 1 with pro nav, can't be a bad reason not to buy a 140, you chose poverty spec 😂 I think you should of had pro nav fitted before some of the other mods if it's that big a deal for you. I waited a month to find the perfect 140 for me with all the extras I wanted like adaptive, harman kardon, pro nav etc. Next mod for you - pro nav/ install with apple car play!

as a 18 year old buying one of these wont come soon but super pisses me off that they've ruined the first one imo, also just thought please could you leave a mod list in the description sometime, nice video mate keep safe during these unpredictable times. ( LOLL just seen the end about you getting max 32 mpg, i have a 1.6L seat leon 07 plate and its shite on fuel economy literally max mpg 26)😂

Have to agree the interior feels dated (I've come from a mk7. 5 gti) plenty of clicky buttons not as much space for bits n bobs and the plastic feels cheap, I drive is decent tho.

CarPlay is crap compared to the iDrive 6 UI. The good thing about it is you can install Apple apps. The bad is that it's not as polished as iDrive and you'll want to go back to using iDrive anyway

Keep the stripes, it makes mine look so much better. Mine needs a limited slip diff, desperately, think I'm going for a wavetrac ! Interior is great but all the trim rattles p1ss me off, and my old E91 touring was a lot quieter. I had the cold start deleted when I had it remapped, not needed, and just annoying leaving for work at silly o'clock in the morning. Prefer the standard look, and mines not a shadow, as everyone tries to be 'different' de-chroming and now it's common ! I do like the side skirts on yours though, and it's one of the things I'd consider, even though I'm more a fan of the sleeper look. I'm averaging 28.2 mpg LOL, maybe it's not just you 'youngsters' that put your foot down (I'm 50) :-)) Good video sir, thumbs up !

Actually, i think 32mpg is pretty good for the performance you get. At the moment i own a e90 325i with "only" 270hp and its only doing 25mpg.....

Same. My Golf R fluctuates so much but usually 28 to 30. I think the bigger displacement on the 140i is better for cruising at high speed. Lower revs.

BMW straight 6 engines are incredible on fuel for what they are, I have the N52 so the last N/A one with about 272hp and it comfortably does 40-45mpg on the motorway The fact that these turbo B58’s can do the same and in some cases even better even though they have nearly 100hp more is mind blowing to me Still only 21 so not quite ready to upgrade yet😂

Get CarPlay added in. It’s not that difficult. Personally I preferred the BMW interior to that of the Golf with a much nicer driving position. I felt like I could get much lower. Maybe I’m a grumpy old bugger but I like those aged buttons; I’d rather those than touchscreens.
