After 28 months and 16500 miles its time to wave goodbye to my manual BMW M135i Lci. As most of you know I have a M140i Moth edition coming, it should be here by the end of Jan. I'm off to Australia next week and have decided to collect the M140i on 1st March, something to look forward to when I get back.
I will miss this mighty car, I will miss the brilliant N/A character of the N55 engine! I will miss the manual on some days, but really looking forward to the brilliance of the ZF 8 speed box again.
Thanks for watching this video, and thanks for coming on so many M135i journeys with me.
Cheers Joe

Thanks for your reviews. Now I'm buying a 2015 pre LCI, auto, with 20.000 miles and hope will enjoy as much as you did these years.

😢 I bought my M135i LCI a bit over 6 months ago after a bit of research but mainly all your video’s. I’ve put about 25000km’s on it already and plan on keeping it till it dies. Love it!

Another great vid, it looked like you were getting a bit teary and emotional! I have to disagree about the manual 'box though. I had a manual M135i for 4 years and now a manual M140i and I love the gearchange. The essential mod is fitting the M Performance gearknob (as can be seen in one of my vids ;)) as I've done in both my M-Lites. Shorter, narrower and firmer carbon/Alcantar gearknob transforms the shift feel. Makes it shorter throw and more direct feeling. I would never have the auto, good as it is, but then again I don't live in London.

Awesome video Joe, you really conveyed to everyone how bloody awesome these cars are (it is hard to tell people how exhilarating these cars are if they haven't driven one). The experience is hard to put into words. Can't wait for the M140i pick up now (when is it)? Mum and dad picking ours up early Feb, boat in Aussie waters now making its way to us... slowly though (at least that is how it feels for me)

Joe really is the most comprehensive journalist when it comes down to real life reviews for BMW products. Honestly you’re up there with Harris for levels of inspiration and have definitely contributed to my decision to buy an M140i Joe, quick question. When does the replacement M140i come to market? The reason I ask is that I’ll be in the market for the current M140i towards the back end of this year and wondered if it was best to hunt to PCP deals on this model as they start to fade it out for a better deal?

Current thinking in the automotive press seems to be mid 2019 for the new 1. It's unusual for the M lites to be the first to be released, so you must be talking end 19 maybe early 2020. There are pictures of them testing now though, so I may be wrong. A full on M version likely 1 or 2 years after that I suspect. That would fit in with BMW's 7 year life cycle for it's models, with a LCI (restyle/update) at the half way mark. They rarely stray from this for the core model ranges.

xHP your ZF8 box, to stage 2-3. Makes the shifts (especially with the paddles) so much faster, faster than DCT and especially on the down shift. Makes the zf8 even better and I no longer miss a manual, as you can drive triptronically, like a sequential, forward for down a gear, back for up. If you want you can even pretend you're pressing a clutch with your foot on the rest. xHp makes that mode way better too.

Really good video Joe, I agree with all of your comments. I've had my M135i manual for 3 years and was thinking of selling it until I watched your Motec feature. It made me re assess the virtues of the car and difficulty of getting more bang for buck without a big increase in the budget. The conclusion, The car is booked in with them next week for the Achillies spec M135i mods. I look forward to more great content from you when the M140 arrives.

Hi Joe, although I'd already ordered my M135i by the time I discovered your channel I used your videos to plug the gap to delivery! As discussed on twitter I'm looking to replace mine in the next 12 months with a used 15/65 plate Cayman on a manual, that's the standard of car necessary to really improve on this little rocket (not on pace though). Looking forward to seeing the M140 series and your planned improvements. Whilst the M2 was a casualty of the situation you mention your followers (and you?) really benefited from your then relentless focus on the channel and its great to see it going from strength to strength.

You have a thumbs up from me, Joe. I enjoy your videos a lot. On the subject of adaptive, I bought a 240i in Sept with this but still hated the pogo effect on A & B roads. Following some research on the internet, I found that KW offer DDC coilovers to replace the stock suspension and the best bit is that they're completely plug&play with the adaptive button. And they made a huge improvement to the ride & handing too. Mine were sourced & fitted by R-Tec in St Albans FWIW.

As a direct result of watching your vids I bought a brand new M240 which I collected 3 weeks ago and I'm loving every single second I'm in it. Didn't even mind Monday morning traffic this morning. I'd like to do the Motech mods but I'm too worried about the warranty, maybe when the rattly exhaust happens I might get an M performance one.

That´s why i love the 1series, it looks great and the bigger engines are having a manual which is really cool :) Do you like the prefacelift version more or the current one? Btw at the IAA last year i met the guy who was in charge for the colours in the 80´s and 90´s of BMW, he gave them their names and it ended me talking to him almost 20 minutes about that time and he was such a humble and nice guy :D

Good job as always Joe. Funny you should mention the Porsche 4 pot. I've just sold my 140i after 13 months and 4k miles. I use the car solely as a weekend toy. The 140 was excellent, but to me as a weekend item the Porsche just looks a little more special. Just a shame it's lost it's singing voice. Sound a bit Subaru like now, But it still goes well. 👍

I sold my M235i for a Cayman GTS last year. I'm now driving a M240i! I appreciate what you say, that the Porsche feels more special. I thought it was a real event every time I drove it (especially with the NA flat six) and the control weights are perfect, but honestly, as a road car, I prefer the Beemer. It's handling is much more progressive. In the Porsche, once it goes, it just spins on you. The BM's far more comfortable, useable and 'under the radar' as well as being faster and much cheaper.
