It's been 5 years since I got my M140i - am I bored of it? Do I still enjoy it?
Well, In today's video we take out her out for bit of B-Road Blast on some local roads, and I talk about some of my favourite aspects of the car, that keep it enjoyable, and why now might be a good time to buy one.
As always, I hope you enjoy this video -

I’ve had mine 2 years now, stage 2+ handling mods etc it’s an absolute pleasure to drive. I won’t be selling it, got full front end PPF too. It’s a special car being the last RWD 6 cylinder. Just need a X3m or X4M along side & perfect duo

Bought our 140i new in 2019.Trouble is I spend more time washing and polishing it rather than using it for what it was designed. Just ticked over to 9,000 miles.

4 years in, I love my stock manual M140i!

@Craig-95

Had mine 3 years in april and i love it more now than i did when i first collected it, won't be going anywhere anytime soon

Great video Reg. Cars like these only get better with age. Every time I climb in my M240i (manual 🤌🏾) I’m reminded how fortunate I am to own a car so capable, engaging and versatile. It’s got suspension, control arms a diff and BM3 software with reduced torque for better drivability out of corners and it really does the business. I can’t think of another car that is this strong of an all rounder for sensible money. The exteriors are humble but they are world class cars.

I’ve just bought one! A 2019 3dr Shadow Edition in white like yours, 33k miles. Currently awaiting it being transported over. Can’t wait to get driving it…. 👍🏻

I have owned a lot of cars but this one as a personality and always brings a smile to my face

@samdunkerton3787

I’ve had mine for about 3 months. 66 plate and first thing I did was update the firmware to add Apple car play. Also had bilstein b8s fitted and a straight through mid pipe, plus an upgraded intake. Absolutely love it. It’s such an animal when you floor it but comfortable and not too boystrous for cruising about. Really want an LSD for it but they are sooo expensive!

@andrewf7822

I have exactly the same car as you in sunset orange. Have had it 5.5 years. Love it. Only regret is not buying the 5 door.

@fletcherb10

Absolutely gorgeous car. I got my 125i F20 last year (which is my first car) and a 2.0L Turbo is nice, but that straight 6 3.0L is just irresistible. Maybe I'll get it one day!

@olivermorrell6400

great video. i've got 18 plate pre opf stock with lsd (on goodyear a6) and it's such an enjoyable car to drive around in, especially this time of year with some nice slippery roads and traction turned off. had mine 2 years now and i enjoy it more each day.

Great video Reg. Nearly 6 years in and 40K miles and I still love mine. You're right about the interior it is a bit dated although personally I still really like the analogue clocks. I specced mine with EVERY option except radar cruise. Shocks now Birds/Bilstein and LSD with mildly upgraded brakes. I used EDC delete modules for the Bird's suspension and never miss EDC. Sun roof is best thing for the interior. Really lightens it up. Added OEM alcantara and carbon trims for doors, dash and centre console. Re-trimmed centre bin lid in leather and added blue stitching to match seats. Same blue stitching on handbrake gaiter. Big shout to Royal Steering Wheels. M type seatbelts with 3 colour stripes, P3 gauge in OS vent, M puddle lights, auto colour footwell lights, Android auto, alcantara and perforated leather steering wheel with matching blue stitching and centre tape, M logo puddle lights. Add in BBS wheels and a few discreet body, mirror, exhaust and engine mods they all come together to make it a much nicer place to be. Debadged it gives quite a few much more expensive cars a shock when you use the torque of that gorgeous B58. They do also have a character all their own which is lacking in many more modern cars (including the F40 M135😁).

@TimWilliamsHD

Epic video mate, luv it! Makes me want to buy one again 😄

@DjNikGnashers

Great update Reg.

@ianmoorcroft3689

Great vid

@peterbennpan7288

I see it this way! As much as you love your car there will be days you get bored of it. Getting a stage 1 will make you fall in love with it again! I did it with my car afew years ago! Go for it you won't regret it! 😎

@qq3528

Can you Please do long term review for your Michelin PS5 with wear to miles indication?

@silvadadi

@RoadReg. Happy New Year Reg……like how the full screen Apple car play looks……. Mod? Who from and cost?

@oliver3699

Great video mate, did you code out the edc when doing the bilstein shocks? I would like to get them on my car but I don't want to lose the switch between comfort and sports :) thinking of going the b16 damptronic kit
