[@LockeM140]

My insurance is £43 a month LOL

[@porkster5924]

Glad you did the stance as the first mod as they do look very 116d like as stock.

[@JofGB]

I’ll have to go for a ride in one I’m not sold on the BMW but fair play it’s not all about power Safety comes first it’s got to sit right on the road and then comes the power

Love my 140I, birds suspension mod Lsd, stage 1 remap 430+bhp 30+mpg😀👌

[@joshuamcnally4234]

All I want with my m140i. Had it 6 months. What’s that birds suspension and lsd set you back. Like £4.5k fitted ? 👍

[@dubbygrime]

been watching m140i market for a while, prices need to come down some more and I'll pull the trigger on one

[@cIibsterd]

I'm the same. So you think they will anytime soon though?

[@dubbygrime]

@@cIibsterd they seem to be dropping slowly, but might be a time of year thing. Performance cars don't sell so much in the winter. Maybe it's just that

[@TFBoNkErzZ]

@@dubbygrime I purchased one earlier in the year and have not been disappointed, only pulled the trigger myself after getting a crazy part ex on my previous car due to the over inflated market values due to shortages. If you did want maximum value look for a m140 pre shadow edition to save a fair bit. Otherwise consider a m135i if you can tolerate it not being a b58.

[@dubbygrime]

@@TFBoNkErzZ whole reason I want one is for that b58. Yeah I can save 5k pre face-lift but I kinda want the digital dials but I might just have to get an analogue

[@peterrobinson9168]

Pull the trigger man 😂😂

[@dauwg99]

I did the rear subframe inserts from PowerFlex. Huge difference!

[@simontompkins3300]

I have to disagree with your choices, the first and most important thing you should do to this car is fit a wavetrac limited slip diff, this will allow you to put the power down that the car already has, before you tune it. then I would put b16 coilers on it, then tune it.

[@vollcare4076]

Agree with you: Also MPerformance LSD and ST/KW coilover are great basic upgrades this car needs

[@marveysingh9592]

Won’t feel the benefits of a diff in a 140i on road use unless you’re absolutely driving recklessly. LSD makes the biggest difference on track. Will never understand why LSD is the go to option. 1st option is good tyres, Mich PS4 or Goodyear supers. 2nd is lowering springs or Coils. 3rd is the powerflex 6 rear sub frame mounts. At this point you have already improved the floaty car feel, body roll and can absolutely push the car hard enough without worrying about losing control (obvs to the weather conditions). The issue isn’t putting the power down. The issue is the soft suspension and sub frame cannot deal with a b58. I can put the power down in the wet in sport/sport plus depending on how wet. People that jump to LSDs being the first come from all wheel drive cars and complain can’t put the power down because they just mash the pedal flat without realising there’s a way to extract power from a rear wheel drive and putting it down. LSD is just a petrol head myth for people who don’t know how to drive. It’s also more dangerous when the back end goes so you really need to know how to correct rear wheel drive cars. The open diff snaps back in line providing you again know how to control a rear wheel drive.

[@lazsmith]

@@marveysingh9592 dude you obviously have zero idea how to actually drive a car. open diff makes lack of traction WAY less predictable and down right scary in a car like this. LSD ensures good traction and progressive, controllable oversteer. The issue IS putting power down, as an M140i owner who bought the M-performance LSD as the first mod I did, I noticed a HUGE difference with everything else stock with the level of grip and stability even driving at normal speeds.

[@marveysingh9592]

@@lazsmith 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ sure thing mate. I run stage 2 open diff & it’s fine. People hype the lsd without knowing how to drive first. Didn’t say LSD isn’t better, obviously it is but open diff isn’t as bad as what people make out👍🏽

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@marveysingh9592 My M140i has 455bhp/634nm and it desperately needs a diff. Yes I have decent tyres all round PS4's. Every time I pull out of a junction slightly quickly, or power out of a bend aggressively, I get one-tyre-fire, an LSD is a MUST for a tuned M140i. You obviously don't drive it anywhere near it's potential if you think the open diff is 'fine'. In the wet, with brand new PS4's on the back (had them fitted last wednesday), if I'm doing 40mph and boot it, I spin the rears. I think you should sell your M140i and buy a base model Fiesta, it would suit your driving style better.

[@Sammi-xm2gx]

I am now watching this video, sitting on the couch at awesome gti lounge and waiting for my m140 to be fitted with a decat and bm3 tuned😂😂😂

[@awesomecars1]

🤣🤣 nice

[@RIFF0RAFF]

Only thing on your list which talks to me is PowerFlex rear insert bushes. Without them m140i is dangerous to drive fast.

[@panagiotiskanellis4749]

On the 116d you think that is stupid to look for an LSD ?

[@stephen9466]

I have a M240i 2020reg. Do all the mods go for this model, as the M140i. ?

[@boogiywoogiy]

Great video, how much do these mods cost?

[@awesomecars1]

[@chriscrookes8793]

Birds Quaife LSD and B1 suspension only mods needed

[@AnonymousJ99]

yeah about a grand for both

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@AnonymousJ99 I wish I could get a quaife diff for a grand. More like 2 grand, where the fk do you shop ?

[@samellio]

Unless you're getting 35mpg from your 140 an LSD should be first mod.

[@user-qh3xp4kl3b]

Does anybody know who sells the mudflaps that he has installed on the car?

[@smshivji]

Available on performance M website 🙂

[@mojooev7785]

Keep going 👍

[@TheTassMen]

which rear spoiler is it on top? is it sticked on the original or is it a complete new one

[@smshivji]

It's a SSID spoiler glued on top of the original

[@FQ1998]

Is xhp st 3 safe ? Too much clamping force

[@smshivji]

Yes very 🙂

[@djjackjones1]

What sort of mileage do you get from a full tank of fuel?

[@callumkirton957]

Normal driving around 300-350 miles

[@simonbarnes7789]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@howieleem]

Mid 30's mpg? Not a chance. My stage 1 m140i driven carefully 90% of the time giving 27mpg over approx 2 yrs. On a motorway at steady 80 in Eco mode it gives mid 30's.

Only need 2 … Engine swap … body swap … sorted 👍😂

[@samellio]

B58 engine, widely acknowledged as one of the best ever made. Evil GT, true to form, love the channel 👌😂👍

[@smshivji]

B58 in the M140i is one of the best BMW engines ever made, certainly nobody would swap that out 😃

[@DjNikGnashers]

LOL top trolling from evil GT.

[@bensternberg1057]

Cmon !! Surely an LSD !!!

[@Dan-Jennings]

These are awful suggestions. The stock exhaust quite honestly is pretty open. You also won’t pass MOT with a decat and the non res is way too loud. Honestly all you need is a remap, an M performance LSD, underbody brace and Poly bushes on the rear.

[@jamboSAFC]

Mid 30s mpg. I feckin wish 🤣

[@nismo4321]

Poor video - Here is my take from it. 1 - I'm happy with the factory suspension because lowered is a no no for me due to the bad roads in the UK. Ride is harsh and going over the potholes is a pain (mine is non adaptive) 2 - Spacers - They look good but can screw up your wheels bearings in the long run. 3) - Res delete - too chavy with the pops and bangs. Remus exhaust is a better option. 4) - No need 5) - No need - it's fast as it is unless you want to lose your licence.

[@marveysingh9592]

B8 dampers and MMR springs will improve that awful passive ride you have. I have MMR on adaptive suspension and it’s great. When I upgrade the dampers will be even more comfortable dealing with bumps. Passive is awful on stock dampers.

[@RIFF0RAFF]

PowerFlex bushes is the only thing on the list which is a must. Difference is collosal, rear is no longer dancing on the road.
