I'm looking to get a 440i with the same B58 engine. How has it been reliability wise in your 4 years of ownership Matthew?

[@MattWilliams482]

No problems with it at all. All I've done is had it serviced couple of times and set of new tyres. I had it from new btw.

[@TRHamza]

Glad you like it 🙌🏼👊🏼

[@shaun_7503]

I’ve had mine nearly a year, the B58 is unreal. Definitely do the powerflex subframe inserts, and the OEM underbody rear brace, absolutely transforms the handling, the floaty feeling when pushing on is gone, and the brace helps massively with the squirming at the back end, add an LSD and it’ll put the power down a LOT better as well!

[@vollcare4076]

Do you have increased NVH after fitting the inserts ? Yellow ones ?

[@shaun_7503]

Voll Care Yes I went with the Yellows, the NVH has increased slightly, but it’s very minor. I was toying with the idea for a while, I didn’t want it to be overly firm, as it’s not going to be a track car for me, it’s noticeably firmer, but bang on for a daily. The black ones will be way too much for a daily car, the yellows are just perfect in my opinion, and pairing them with the OEM brace has exceeded my expectations.

[@fizywig]

HI THERE. Could you list the necessary chassis modifications including LSD install which can make this car oerform close to the performance if an M2? And which dealer in uk able to complete these mods?

[@hassankhan384]

Is the volvo coming back, we need more on the volvo love seeing that car on your channel.

[@bradofwar5960]

Got an M140i myself, I got the xdrive version. Epic off the line and you can still drift because it can send 100% to the back. Also have a Remus exhaust, one of the best in my opinion for this car.

[@jamesreilly8455]

That alcantara wheel needs brought back to life. Had one on my m140. Got to keep on top of them, they are a dirt magnet.

[@TRHamza]

Agreed it’s a bit flat at the minute will see if it comes back up nice, worst case I’ll get a retrim

[@0mar.1]

I can’t lie, the stock diffuser has to go. It makes the car look a bit cheap from that colour but I love your m140i

You described this pretty much perfectly. I had mine for about a year and I got bored of it, felt like an average 1 series with a big engine. It definitely needs the chasis mods that you mentioned to make it a great car, I personally didn't want to do that. Looking forward to the future vids.

Hi Hamza I've had my m140i Shadow for 2 years now...thanks for doing this review of this great car that is also affordable...many people think the m140i is old school and dated but I'm sure you agree the push you get out of corners with the sound of the B58 is second to none...8sp zf adaptive and michilin pilot supersports is a magical combination...my car is stock and it's so good I'm leaving it as it is 🧢👍🏽

Damn bro, thought it'd be a 4 cylinder. Ended up to be the inline 6. Awesome man. Inline 6 shizzle and a lot of 5 pots. You're the boss! Go on man! 👌

[@AlexSeddon11]

I’ve nothing but positive words to say about these cars, £18,000 for a decent spec one which can be tuned to 420bhp with a stage 1 tune, fantastic engine. I had mine for 2 years, had decats and all the carbon trims, traded it in for an M2 which is on another level but in a straight line I miss the pull from that B58

[@methembedube4243]

This my dream 🙏🏾 one day I’ll have one 🙏🏾 will follow your mods when I can get one 😅

[@sykownzu]

Had one for 4months now black shadow Edition same spec as yours 18 plate. I love it, the engine!! sound is so addictive, silky smooth to drive, Definitely worth the money. I did plan to get an rs3 15-16 plate but there still to expensive in my opinion. Keep the videos coming 👊🏽

[@NuttiGoat]

The facelift RS3 is so much more desirable, but the price is ridiculous when compared to the value for money in an M140i

[@sykownzu]

I know i did really want a facelift rs3 but was out my price range, pre facelift are still way over priced with the mileage some are on. Glad i went with the m140i in the end.

[@TommyBoii_90]

Nice to see a M140i on the channel looking forward to the build going to be 🔥

[@gazb9895]

I’m struggling to like my 140 so far. I’ve had it for around 6 weeks and was the exact spec I wanted. I think the quite obvious traction issues and lack of diff really shine through when your a confident enough driver to really grab it by the scruff of the neck. Not sure if I’m willing to pay for the diff or not…

[@v811gfg]

@@vollcare4076 It's a completely different car, a Volvo S60 R line new car. I picked this car mainly on price it was such a good bargain on a lease deal. I have been very surprised how good it is but it's not a BMW M 140.

[@haidari4]

Great car, massively compromised. Get the chassis sorted and you'll wonder how you drove on stock suspension! Also found traction mode is the best balance for me. Gives you comfort throttle so not as sensitive and enough slip

[@randomsurfer3963]

Shame you can't get the 4wd xdrive version of the M140i like in Germany, then you'd be able to put down all that power ..

[@laurenzb5003]

Understand where you‘re coming from. There a quite some xdrive ones over here, but I just love the fact it‘s rwd. That‘s y I chose it. Like it makes driving so much more fun. I‘ve had a S3 8l with a turbo conversion and it was fast, but over the time just boring cause you could just put the pedal to the metal. In the M140i every corner becomes a true pleasure.

Drag/rolling race between this and the RS3 before you start modding it 👀 I know it’s on par if not a bit faster than the pre face RS3, but it’ll be very interesting to see how it compares with the FL RS3 OPF. Especially considering OPF RS3s have a stronger mid range.

[@M21KEY]

His RS3 is already like Stage 2.. the M140i would currently get destroyed, but I guess it would be good to see the differences

[@TRHamza]

Yeah wouldve been good but can’t due to RS3 already being stage 2, but as a general idea the FL RS3 is still a lot quicker than this when stock.
