Owned 2 m140i’s and can confirm they’re a magnificent car, will absolutely be a modern classic. Traded up to an M4 competition and in honesty, there really isn’t much difference in performance. Sure the M4 is a much better looking, sounds better and is a nicer place to be in BUT the performance in the 140s is so good, kinda leaves you a smidge disappointed when you take a plunge and go for a “real” M car.

Look very understated , 4 seats and mega performance with a little tuning, seems a bargain car, never really thought about one, but its a compelling argument as they are not expensive at all.

Had one for a year and put about 15,000 miles on mine, can’t deny I loved owning it, humbled a lot of sports cars, felt well made and comfortable, but felt a little plain at times. The steering was numb despite it handling pretty well, but the lack of feeling through the wheel didn’t inspire much but that’s electronic steering for you. Went from the auto M140i to a 10 Year old 320d Estate and a manual E92 M3 and other than the straight line speed the 140i doesn’t feel anywhere near as special or as engaging as the M3. With that being said, I wouldn’t talk anyone down from an M140i, they’re overall great cars and we won’t see another hot hatch like it again. Golf R, S3 or M140i, take the bimmer anyday.

@ShogunsDojo 2 жыл бұрын
I don’t disagree. I had to modify my M240i to get the handling feel I wanted but that’s no bad thing as it has really come alive. Wider tracks and M3 control arms have given way to amazing steering feel and a rear diff combined with progressive springs and superior tires has tidied up the rear. Not everyone is into modifying however so I respect the move to the M3 all the same.
@tamadotchi Жыл бұрын
I hate the way this car looks, for months I just browsed past them on Autotrader, not even a consideration just looked so plain etc. So I spent a few weeks trying all the options, S3's Golf R's, even older rs3's.. then just to cover all bases I went and test-drove one of these. I can honestly say none of the other cars delivered the fun and real feel that this did. So I bought it. hated the look but was completely blown away by the performance and quality of the m140i. This is from someone who is coming from daily driving a w204 c63, I needed something cheaper to run and use and this is perfect. Good vid.

If you do your research Jamie you’ll find the B58 engine when originally produced from BMW benched at 450 bhp so were all detuned so that it didn’t step on the toes of its bigger siblings. The motor has fantastic tuning potential considering how much BMW hold these cars back. M340 or 540i with drive is all the motor you need.

Enjoy the channel very much and liked the video however as someone on the lookout for a fun new car and this being on the list I don't feel like a learned a great deal....I'd have liked something on servicing costs, intervals, weak points to look for, is there an online community, modification options, expected gains and costs, that sort of thing.....not hating but for me it just felt a little vague and I'd have liked a few more specifics from a review
@MatthewA7 3 жыл бұрын
Servicing costs are relatively cheap, depends on driving style but expect the computer to tell you to service every 9k, servicing at a dealer isn’t too expensive either but obviously you can easily do it yourself. (Idrive won’t be updated but just keep the receipts) HUGE online community, huge amounts of modifications available with a simple stage 1 taking it to around 420hp. Weak points in the car I would be looking for the timing chain to be changed circa 70-100k miles and expecting a gearbox service at around the same mileage (even though BMW claim life, ZF claim 70-100k) other weak points to look for on the car is the basic checks, they are actually very reliable cars, I’ve owned one haha, granted I never owned the M140i but I had the LCI M135i (140i wasn’t out) hope that helps! Also, these cars are actually settling down now in the market in terms of depreciation so you can easily expect a year or two without any depreciation maybe even longer!

Looks exactly the same as mine ! I actually love the silver bits, on Estoril blue, and personally hate what every chav youngster seems to be doing, ie de chroming everything with cheap-ass looking fake carbon shyte. It's the perfect daily driver. Smooth, comfortable, practical. Yet, very tune-able, and slips under the radar. Mine is also mapped, top 411bhp/576nm and it's very quick. Next stop, 200 cell sports cat, XHP3 g/box map, for 460+ bhp and savage gearchanges :-)) Oh, btw, LOVE the video style. I'm fed up of flashy editing that everyone seems to think is more important than actual content, and music that is SO FUCKING LOUD then narration that is hardly audible.

Well, I m trying to buy a m135/140, so I m watching every video Is there. Just One thing: You told "if you are coming from a F20/21 diesel, prepare yourself, because It s night and day" Well, actually you re right at 99%... That remaining 1% has a name: 125D. Don t laugh 😉 Of course I m speaking about 125D middle staged, at least 2... In the neighborhood of 270 hp, and 550 Nm, you know, vs stock 140i Of course the 3.0 6L Is going to be quicker anyway.. But in 90% of roads, believe me, they re going to be on the same level. I know It sound silly...bit s because nearly everybody think 125D Is like every other turbodiesel, Just with more power: Nearly immediately sbamm!💥 But then It die. Nope! Instead the delivery (and the torque...) looks a lot like an atmospheric 5000 cc : Smooth and predictable from 1000 to 5400/' It s incredibly Quick... And I know I LL miss It 🙄 But the 135/140 Is a must, I think. ❤️

I don't want to sound like a complete anorak, but here goes. The M140 and 135 are completely different cars, so referring to the 140 as the new 135 is incorrect. The 140 has the monster B58 engine which dynos at about 350-370 bhp standard whereas the 135 has the N55 engine which has much less bhp and torque. They are chalk and cheese. I've owned both. Also, speak to any BMW mechanic and they'll tell you the 140 is effectively an M1, but BMW didn't refer to it as that since that title is reserved for the original M1 supercar. Good videos. Keep up the good work.

‘Much less power and torque’ get over yourself mate the 140i has 340hp and the 135i has 320hp. It’s only a 20bhp difference 😂 plus the Stock 135i sounds way better than the 140i

I was a BMW mechanic for a few years and never heard anyone call it a "M1". Its like saying the 340i is an M3, 540i is an M5.

Funny reading some of these comments reference the handling. Think most of the comments are from people that don't even own one🤣 I've had mine nearly two years now and they are great little cars that do a bit of everything. It's a great daily drive that you can have some fun in when you want. Maybe not a great TRACK weapon in STOCK form but great car for all other things. You have to drive it like a complete cock wobble to get it out of sorts on normal UK roads. I've had plenty of spirited drives in mine and never had it out of sorts. If you have then your driving like a dick and should be saving that kind of driving for the track and not on normal roads.

Great engine in a very lacklustre chassis. They can look nice with a few subtle mods but this one looks very plain and ordinary.

I never really felt this car was what you’d call a drivers car, fantastic engine and straight line speed but that can get boring after a while. The car just felt a little dull to me but for the cheap finance that BMW were throwing around, they were good for the money.
