Great vid. Had my 2018 M140 shadow edition for 6 months now and it's been incredible. Like any high powered rear wheel drive car you need to respect it in the wet or when pushing on but it's a hugely capable car. I am 44 but still need to fight the urge to put it in Sports+ and throw the back out at any given opportunity. The Mrs just sighs when she sees the display change to S+. I should know better :D

The oil filter problem isn't just a manufacturing problem its because the filter housing lid has lugs which the filter locks into before inserting it into the housing. The disintegrated ones is where the filter has been dropped into the housing then the lugs on the lid crush the filter causing it to disintegrate in the housing. Correct replacement and installation is far more important than frequency mate.

Very entertaining Video as always, Here is the least imporant thing but knowing some German, I could not help noticing, that the product you recommended is in German "Gummi Pflege Stift" and you made it sound as if it was the brand name but Pflege simply means care, so that kind of translates to rubber pen applicator to care for your car. If there is no English on the tube, then that is probably not going to be cheap, some import, not sure where you found that. Anyway, really not important, really nice summary of all the features about the car, I hardly drive mine because of those restrictions ,no longer need to drive to work and I have this OCD to open the bonnet and check the coolant level even I don't drive the car, plain ridiculous. Seriously, that will probably be the best petrol car I will ever own.

@PolbeRacing 2 жыл бұрын
The "Gummi Pflege Stift" is german, if you translate it word for word, in english it would be called "rubber care pen". Also if there is an "E" at the end of a german word, it's not silent like in french. :)

I’ve ordered the new pin with it arrives tomorrow, and it’s in for an mot on Monday, so I’m hoping they’ll just put the new one back In without any issues. It seems to happen to them all

Very useful, thank you, sorry I'm a bit late but my 140 only arrived yesterday afternoon after a spur of the moment decision inspired by my brother "stop remembering your youth & get on & relive it (that was the p.c. version) so had a quick mooch around & decided it was 'hot hatch' time again. As an old fart who's had a driving license since gas lighting was still available Ive got used to reading dials as normally when a warning light comes on its often too late. So driving her home yesterday & being caught up in Fri tea time traffic I found myself hunting for water coolant & or oil temperature gauges without much success, then to be told there arent any & the car will monitor it & tell you if its overheating,, The very same reason Im always aware of my cars normal opperating temperatures, cars dont always tell the truth... What do you guy do ? Ive seen some aftermarket solutions but is this true & that BMW saw fit to not to overload its drivers with at least one temp gauge?? HELP
