I BOUGHT A STAGE 1 TUNED BMW M140i!

I bought a stage 1 tuned BMW M140i. In this video I talk about the exhaust sound, performance, dragy times, used car prices and specs. I also do a brief comparison against a BMW M135i.

Yes, stage 1 will be 420-440. Once it hooks up the M140 is absolutely brutal and a real sleeper compared to the more shouty hot hatches. The 3.0 6cyl B58 is an absolute masterpiece

[@DjNikGnashers]

420bhp is about absolute maximum for a remapped B58, don't believe the over inflated figures some tuners are claiming, it's bs. Mines 455bhp/634nm with a 200 cell cat, oh and the XHP3 makes a difference too :-))

Finally ! I knew you would get one in eventually. LOVE mine ..... As a daily driver, I can't think of a better car. It's comfortable in comfort mode with the adaptive dampers, but in full traction off mode it is a wild beast. Mines 455bhp/634nm and it's bloody quick.

You're looking more towards 430bhp from a stage 1 B58. Phenomenal engine.

[@DjNikGnashers]

If you go down the tuning route, just get a 200 cell cat (I went for a Wagner), and then remap, also get the XHP3 gearbox software if you have the ZF8 like me. It is stupid fast then. Mines 455bhp/634nm (M140i though), mate you will not regret it.

Gr8 vid m8, I have an old 58 plate Astra VXR which is sitting at 250BHP which I'm Modding, but a chap I know has a Stage 2 M140 with Anti Lag which runs 470 he said. Have never felt so much g force in a car proper scary fast - Loved it. Look better than A35s imo as well 🤷

Thats fucking mental, the b58 is so strong especially stage 1, stock they are like 370 even though bmw says 340, with stage 1 they are about 420/430, and the bloody fast zf8 results in 3.9 sec :O It beats stage 2 m2 thats alot more expensive. Wow. Thats value for money.

Coming to the end of my m140i experience after two and a half years its been a great car, no problems what so ever. I'll look back at this car with a lot of love shame lockdown ruined any travel plans for last year or so. One thing it lacked was that LSD that it always needed. For me that much performance in a hatchback really never got used as driving mostly in and around towns and city centres and weather conditions never allow its full potential to be used
