Fixing The 'PROBLEMS' With My M140i... *Modifications*

There's no such thing as 'too many mods', right?! Today we install some more modifications to the M140i - a huge thanks goes to: Auto ID, C2F4 Design & R44 Performance for making today's video possible.
(To explain quickly, the 'problems' that I have/had with the car were cosmetic, don't take the word 'problem' too seriously...)

“Problems” then it’s a video on aesthetic mods!! FFS Luke, Your videos are good enough without the click bait titles. Please stop falling into the you tube cliche’ of exaggerating / misleading / PATRONISING your viewers/subscribers. We are not morons.

'Tacky grey' Puts stripes down the side of the car...

[@hampshirephoto]

In today’s video, I install some more cosmetic modifications to my M140i! In short, the ‘problems’ I had with the car are due to the original parts looking ****! Hope y’all enjoy the video. Be sure to check out the companies featured in the description above!

[@TimWilliamsHD]

hampshirephoto smashed it matey 🤙🏾

[@hampshirephoto]

Cheers mate!

[@Duncan94]

Guessing before watching - removing the black stripes along the sides?!

[@hampshirephoto]

Wrong!

[@leonmason77]

Hope you are declaring all those mods to the finance company lol. Remember the crap Living Fast Life had from BMW.

[@simonfearing4907]

Exhaust tips look amazing mate question tho, as they are sat against the bumper do you get any unwanted vibration when driving

[@rmillzy77]

Love a subtle mod, they always make the biggest difference! 👏🏽👏🏽 good on you for doing it yourself

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks buddy!

[@KAZUYADOG]

Far too close to the diffuser at 12 o'clock.

[@MrNoRulesz]

Looks really good if it were up to mee i would have gone with a titanium or polished finish cause now the tips disapear in the diffuser :(

[@cpandsooz]

Great changes! Got the AUTOID Mirrors on my F40 M135i too. Always quality from those guys.

[@hampshirephoto]

Absolutely!

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Looks really nice Luke, one small thing, that old hole for the previous number plate mount, serious OCD for me :-)

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks Alastair! Yes, I know :(

[@NR-96]

Just ordered my chrome/carbon fiber m-performance tips for the m140i, thanks for the discount man! ✌🏼 love your content btw! 😁

[@hampshirephoto]

No worries! Thanks for the support!

[@robertchalmers8487]

Great vid and nice add ons, when you took the standard tip off it actually looked better 😁

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks!

[@youhewett]

Luke, hello, I need your help, I’m having this problem with my m140i since last week, the problem that the car’s B58 doesn’t reach full power, it gets no more than 300 hp according to sport clocks. Normally my car reach the full 340 hp, so I took it to BMW dealer, they checked air filter, reprogrammed, you know, anything but they found nothing wrong, so they told me maybe the problem was the gas (petrol) y used , so I stopped today at shell and filled the tank with 92 octane premium gas but the problem still. I was going full throttle and the car is slow, I mean ...for sure a Golf git would kick my ass. Imagine, what do you recommend?

[@pawilson1978]

Nice work sir. 👏 Are those tips touching the rear defuser? Exhaust rocking gonna cause wear. Enjoying the vids. 👌

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks! No they’re not :)

[@M1.942]

Where about are these roads look amazing to have a blast down ? Loving the content pal keep it up

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks! All links are in the video description

[@Timefendiphotography]

The links no longer work, which tips did you use? As there's 2 similar version so wasn't sure if they were all the larger diameter. Also, did you have any problems with these hitting the diffuser? Cheers!

[@band1t620]

I liked that intro mate ;) when you start doing any mechanical mods? Not great with all coronavirus going on now but best time to save some cash and put some mods on the car after :)

[@mathemankwana]

This is very nice, daaamn you making me love bmw!! currently interested in VAG but what a nice job

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks so much!

[@bimmerbelgium2254]

You don’t have to take the mirror out. Just use a pry tool at the very end of the mirror caps and they come loose. You won’t break them. I’ve done this like 10 times. While you removed the glass you could have installed some nice dynamic blinkers too. It’s like a 10 min job

[@GmHomer]

my carbon cap has 2 screws in it on the inside and it had original assembly by BMW (M Perfomance package)

[@davemorris1589]

Nice work there. I’ve just bought a Golf-R variant (Estate). Can you recommend a company local to Winchester for engine remapping (already have an exhaust and air box upgrade)? Thnx

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks! DMS Automotive in Southampton

[@davemorris1589]

Thanks for the reply 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Flip3Natural4]

Wasn’t sure on the choice of car at the beginning dude, but now after the work you’ve done, it’s looking SICK. 👌 proved me wrong lol

[@hampshirephoto]

This is awesome to hear! 😂👍🏻 I’m glad you’ve understood my vision 🙏🏻

[@BMW7series251]

Many thanks for the video Luke. I'm self isolated so KZbin is keeping me sane!! Cheers.

[@hampshirephoto]

No worries John! Take care

[@Liam-sd5rk]

Hi mate am I right in saying that you have maxton design splitter and skirts but a reiger diffuser?

[@hampshirephoto]

Correct

[@jackhaddley2875]

Are you adding the extenders for the gear shifter on the steering wheel like you did with your Volkswagen

[@hampshirephoto]

No plans at the moment

[@x58evo2puma7]

Great video mate can’t wait to do another video mate but u should be home we are at lockdown

[@RenoveAutoService]

Black mirrors caps are awesome 👏 Agressive look

[@trevorallan8742]

Hi Luke well done for another gd video that looks very smart and looks very nice keep up with all the good videos you do buddy

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks buddy!

[@dolfziggla936]

Looks like you have drove your car through halfords

[@hampshirephoto]

Yeah, we have Halford’s ‘Drive Thru’ now it’s great.

[@og5918]

Init never seen so many tacky looking mods 🤢🤢..

[@Matthew-jn7ss]

Car looks brilliant mate! I'm looking to get mine mapped pretty soon. Should be an animal!

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks buddy!

[@jackontwowheels8577]

Need to get the bmw badges sorted mate will finish the gloss black look off 🔥😍

[@keiranwilliams8001]

Black inlays for the white on the bmw badges and job done on this I think 👌

[@jasonelouz3106]

Sold my 86 for an M140i would you be dissapointed with that swap im not but interested to know which one you would give up ???

[@maffs6270]

Suppose it's personal taste but whilst I have carbon mirror caps and black wheels, I think the silver front bumper fins look best as they contrast nicely against the black.

[@peterbennpan7288]

Think you need a remus back box or some thing at least. Then a JB4 or custom remap!

[@ansab1]

Love the m140i content, cars looking great!

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks!

[@danzy182]

Liked this style of video keep it up 👍🏽

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks a lot!

[@Poontang123]

Only other thing to remember is replace the indicators when you replace the covers or you risk breaking your new covers when removing. Do it all in one go

[@aaronobrien7821]

The car looks great, still not sure about the side stripes but mean regardless

[@martinlee7706]

does they have the M140i Xdrive version in UK ?? or just RWD ones thx

[@hampshirephoto]

RWD

[@MIgamer]

witch type of maxton frontlip is that? i just orderd the maxton version 3 frontlip for my f20

[@hampshirephoto]

Mine is the V3 too

[@MIgamer]

@@hampshirephoto oh nice now i already know how nice it looks on the car. I only have a 118i (full m sport package) also estoril bleu. 😀😀 so excited for when i get the lip

[@joaotoscano]

Nice! Which one of the Mirror Covers actually are from AutoID site?

[@hampshirephoto]

They’re the gloss black covers :)

[@CCN-tu2kr]

It’s looking really nice now mate but, hate to mention it again, those stripes ??

[@simonh870]

These cars are going the same way that many performance cars do when they become affordable. People tune and modify them badly, wrap them around trees or blow them up and they gain a council estate image. Remember the Vauxhall Calibra Turbo? That went the same way. Very subtle mods or even keep stock are the way to go.

[@SignoPanino]

Man these comments 🤦🏽‍♂️ his car, his choice. Who cares whether it’s financed or cash bought, whether it’s daddy’s money or not. Either way he’s got it and you don’t lol car looks sick, side stripes aren’t my cuppa but as a package it’s a lovely m140

[@hampshirephoto]

Thank you Ray 🙏🏻

[@TheCinderellaman10]

Great looking m140i, everything my man done his motor was spot except the stickers, but that's a minor small thing, looks fantastic.

[@hayderalavioo4618]

Do you know the diameter size for the tips? Thanks

[@hampshirephoto]

I’m unsure, but there will be info on the R44 website

[@zrpg-_967]

Side stripes and stickers are ruining this car mate :(

[@mphomokoena2866]

Watching from South Africa 😂😂 would love to get some mods on mine but BMW over here would void all my warranties nice content by the way

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks!

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

Mate, I was meant to pick one up yesterday, but the dealership closed haha! I can't even explain how gutted I am. Another 3+ weeks of waiting and watching your vids!

Omg no way! Gutted for you - it’ll be worth the wait trust me :)

Still not loud enough for me...!

[@tomoliver1798]

Your missing the M sport stickers for the CM alloys!

[@yf1001]

Not keen on those mirror caps it’s too much like not being able to afford an m3/m4 but want the car to look like one, and it would have been good to see how you got the front canards off. Love those tips will defo be getting them, thanks for the discount 👍

[@mattdaines8054]

Yf1001 agreed!!!

[@MancNwt]

Yeah not a fan either I just went for normal shape carbon ones on my m235i.

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

The car looks finished now and very nice to good job luke cheers steve😀👍

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks Steve!

[@MancNwt]

You getting them holes filled in from the license plate?

[@hampshirephoto]

Hopefully soon, yes!

[@Gogogadgetwilly]

I still can’t believe you put those stripes on it

[@rutcornelis8498]

You can just pull the mirror cap off. I did it on mine. Easy.

[@ricardopinto1765]

Not so sure about the exhaust tips! They look to way out should go more in...

[@jamiegross5509]

Posh people and tools just don’t go. Just makes you laugh. A junior hacksaw aswell 😂😂😂😂

[@s10lucky]

Nice improvements 👌

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks!

Nice one bro, fair play to you. If only it was a 3 door. Next step, stage 2?

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks! In hindsight I wish I got 3 door

[@perrinclowes8090]

Ecu and Tcu "calibration" ? You know you want to - it's seriously quick after. Had mine done.

I didn't realise the car does a piss during start up. I'll check mine tomorrow 😀

😂👍🏻

[@ShoyShoy1980]

Those "Little sticky out bits" on the tailpipes are a guide to the OEM tips.

[@hampshirephoto]

Ah interesting. Thanks!

[@northernsoulmeister]

Have you thought about the led sequential indicators? They look great with the gloss black autoid mirror caps.

[@tomosjohn230]

Looks mint mate

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks!!

[@samcourt6228]

Is it me or are those exhaust tips a bit close to the diffuser?

[@hampshirephoto]

They’re close but do not touch

[@whytwhale]

I’m just gonna come out and ask it... where’s that bomber jacket from? Lol

[@antonyv8171]

Tops of the tips are a little too closer to the diffuser

[@brooklynj2346]

Blackout badges, carbon shark fin, spoiler, wind deflectors, wiper delete, tint lights

[@blue_m120i]

Can I use them to my 125i exhaust tips?

[@hampshirephoto]

Don’t see why not!

[@blue_m120i]

it's great because it will look better :D I thought the exhaust tips may have a slightly different size, because I have two on the left side...

[@briansteele2723]

If you had a golf previously you will be used to the manky back end ;) After my golf im thinki g of bmw but not sure can fit 2 bimes in the back like golf🙄

The M style mirror covers look very cool but I've noticed a lot of whistling sound when I drive over 20mph and it's really bloody annoying! No thanks to that pointy bit.

[@bigmoney4685]

Cars looking super well done. Keep the stripes they look awsome with all the other mods. Ignore the negative schmucks that disagree and go and ask some real car guys like calvin, ricky, and nick and you will know that your car rocks. 👍🏽👍🏽

Mirror cap pops off without having to remove the glass

[@tracktimevideos5164]

The stripes are so crap and really cheapen the whole thing. Personally I would want some chrome exhaust tips as well, they look invisible as they are.

[@s.h.1095]

Let's be honest when you showed us the comparison between the size different of the exhaust tips there wasn't much in it! 😂

[@hampshirephoto]

I thought that whilst editing, but I’m person there’s a big difference

Cannards come off easy enough, you have to be a little rough mote than you think you want to be. You can either have them sprayed for about 60 quid. Or wrap for around the same if you want carbon look. Don't pay for replacements waste of money

[@ianchambers2731]

Discount code for R44 isn’t store wide 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@andy-tu2rx]

Gorgeous car. If it was me I'd have left the exhaust tips off. Any exhaust tips are crap on any car even if it's a fiesta or a Ferrari. Can't beat the look of a stainless steel pipe that's part of the back box
