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...)

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!

[@andyallen6087]

“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.

[@Duncan94]

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

[@hampshirephoto]

Wrong!

[@jimmyb1460]

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

[@leonmason77]

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

[@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 :(

[@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)

[@KAZUYADOG]

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

[@rmillzy77]

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

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks buddy!

[@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.

[@zrpg-_967]

Side stripes and stickers are ruining this car mate :(

[@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.

[@automotivetvchannel]

Turn on CC and read on when he gets out of the garage and starts driving on the pebbles. "Applause", that's exactly what I did. Great BMW!

[@hampshirephoto]

😂👍🏻

[@wolfqlf2287]

Cc?

[@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 🙏🏻

[@Gogogadgetwilly]

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

[@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.

[@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. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@hampshirephoto]

Really appreciate that Ben, thank you!!

[@bigmoney4685]

@@hampshirephoto any time 👍🏽👍🏽

[@simonfearing4907]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@cpandsooz]

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

[@hampshirephoto]

Absolutely!

[@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!

[@hampshirephoto]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 :(

[@carguy_0627]

Damn that start up is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@hampshirephoto]

Still not loud enough for me...!

[@carguy_0627]

Haha yeah keep up the mods👊👊

[@RenoveAutoService]

Black mirrors caps are awesome 👏 Agressive look

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

Thanks so much!

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

No worries John! Take care

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

Love the m140i content, cars looking great!

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks!

[@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!

[@gianlucatuzi1498]

I really miss the R though

[@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

[@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 :)

[@x58evo2puma7]

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

[@jamiegross5509]

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

[@robertchalmers8487]

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

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks!

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

Thanks buddy!

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 ???

[@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 👍🏻👍🏻

[@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 :)

[@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?

[@jackontwowheels8577]

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

[@lukedealberdi3713]

Zip to paint when doing the first mirror makes me cringe

[@danzy182]

Liked this style of video keep it up 👍🏽

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks a lot!

[@Mr_ZeroFuel]

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.

[@ShoyShoy1980]

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

[@hampshirephoto]

Ah interesting. Thanks!

[@royalefurygaming2296]

want to fix problem? sell it !!! theres more m140is then the is bog roll

[@royalefurygaming2296]

A45s I have the old a45 but looking to upgrade in 21

[@royalefurygaming2296]

Don’t get me wrong although this isn’t proper M car top end these things fly but like you said with the golf R they are that common there not noticeable anymore

[@OkzM117]

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.

[@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

[@whytwhale]

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

[@Liam-sd5rk]

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

[@hampshirephoto]

Correct

[@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...

[@Poontang123]

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

[@MancNwt]

You getting them holes filled in from the license plate?

[@hampshirephoto]

Hopefully soon, yes!

[@bigjmeister]

Your badges still have a sliver of chrome on them

[@martinlee7706]

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

[@hampshirephoto]

RWD

[@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!

[@chelsfc8799]

So rather than actually showing ur attempt at taking the mirror and the cover off to show us how it actually comes off, you chose to skip those and leave us with nothing. Nice one 👍

[@joaotoscano]

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

[@hampshirephoto]

They’re the gloss black covers :)

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

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

[@briansteele2723]

You and Petrol Ped are good lads, but I can tell you are both going mad with confinement. I like the mirror and frontend mods exhaust tips not a good fit would look better if flush to rear and not touching.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Newsflash, there IS such a thing as too many mods. It's your car of course, but I like silver mirrors on mine, and silver trim on the splitter. I like the none-flashy slightly sleeper look of the original exhausts, yours now look chavvy (in my opinion), and it hasn't made the car any faster ...... Standard M140i ftw, spend your money on tuning it. The only 'problems' this car has, is the slightly cheap interior trim (especially the tailgate) which rattles a bit, and the door trims have some slight rattle issues too. The stripes, oh dear, nothing more needs to be said.

[@Poontang123]

Not fully dechromed still has chrome on front badge but just being panickity

[@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
