Tony Lewis BMW quotes/orders - trldeals@outlook.com
The weak link on my modified BMW M140i Shadow edition has been it's stock suspension, works for a 7 tenths street car, but really suffers when being pushed harder. I noticed this during both of my recent Petrol Head trips, and especially on a track day we did at Llandow earlier this year, It seems the LSD, strut brace, lowing springs and spacers have exposed the standard cars stock suspension set up. I was looking at traditional Bilstein coli overs, but I use my car for everything and didn't want to lose the ride comfort, these new dampers retain my cars adaptive adjustability, they're plush in comfort and really stiff in Sports or Sports +.
Massive thanks to Mike and his team at Motech Performance, also huge thanks to uncle Tony (TRL) for coming along and letting me use a stock passive equipped BMW M140i to compare with.

Mr Rossi is taller than I remember 😁 looking at you kit list at the end if there is any adjustment on the rear brace try slacking it off or even take it out for a test. It looks like it is resisting too much of the role and making the car v tail happy. Yes ultimately you have to slide an LSD around a corner because both wheels are going at same speed but from what little I can see in the video it’s breaking away before even getting close to making the fronts push on. Just a thought 👍

Thanks man! Been waiting for Michelin to produce Cup 2s in M lite sizes for years... Apparently they're coming early next year. Trofeos are too expensive and too track biased, I will only do a couple track days a year and wouldn't be worth the sacrifice, also deadly in the wet 👌

Hi Joe great video, just bought an M140i shadow edition myself and enjoying it. But handling is not as good as my old M235i, little floaty. How do you go about getting the underbody brace fitted to the car. My BMW Dealership don’t seem interested. I would go to Motech to get it fitted but you can’t buy it from them. I can’t find much help on internet, so do you have any advice about this? Cheers dude.

That would be very interesting - track time is fascinating but it only lasts minutes and I have a much longer drive home on a bumpy B road every day :). I got my M140 a few months ago, after years of front wheel drive stuff and I'm delighted by the cornering grip (in the dry!). Most reviews focus on the power, but its so much fun to push through a tight series of back road bends!
@markvanderwardt3345 4 жыл бұрын
If I understand correctly, these are replacements for the adaptive dampers? I have the stock (passive) suspension on my M140i, and looking for a little more planted suspension, and if possible a little less bouncy feel and not lose too much comfort. I used to have a KW V2 on my previous car (Mazda 3 MPS) which totally transformed the car. I have no experience with Bilstein. What would be recommended as upgrade for M140i stock suspension?
@britainF1 5 жыл бұрын

There is a non-adjustable version of the Bilsteins that you can fit to your passive setup in conjunction with some Motech springs. Should be far superior to the stock setup.

3.5 seconds is a considerable amount, you can tell that your car enables you to have more confidence in what it's capable of so therefore be faster. The only thing that puts me off tuning my car (Mini 210) is what it could do to the re-sale value. It's a very small audience that would want that much extra after market parts fitted to the car and obviously means the car have been driven hard. Have you even thought about this and does it bother you?
