HYPERMILING MY BMW M140i

[@tackycomrade]

This wasn’t boring. I love this sort of stuff as sad as it sounds 😂

[@mattsbeamer]

I like it too. :D

[@dobbyboy3116]

Totally agree to get one of these to that mpg on a long run is 👍.

[@one40i19]

Great video, but Eco pro does make a difference. Coasting does help, managed 503 miles on momentum Stage2+. Hidden menu stops reading at 50L, managed 4 more in👍🏻

[@lookship]

Superb effort 👌

[@scotwilson4169]

Hidden menu? Getting one in 2 months, would be nice to know this sort of thing 👍

[@one40i19]

@@scotwilson4169 hold trip button in until the a menu appears. Press to scroll to unlock. Hold, add up last 5 vin digits, single press to reach that value, hold. Will show you tank and temps raw data. Not that amazing but helped when hypermiling mine

[@benjaminrhodes9582]

I've had a couple of M140s with the 8sp ZF auto and 40mpg+ on a decent run is easily achievable in my experience.

[@ArcticRob]

Yeah I had a manual m235i and that average 42 long journeys and my auto m140i averages 45

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

Just buy a Corolla and get 60mpg+.

Dude, 2mins and am hooked stopping car wash to watch 😂 good stuff so far ❤

[@TheKniperlight]

Unbelievable how good the fuel consumption is for the M140i. I did a 120km ride in a 2021 base model ford fiesta this week with cruise control on at 120km/h and averaged about the same as you did. Incredible engine that B58

[@lookship]

I would have gone to Cornwall in it if I knew. Averaged 35 in our lasses Civic 🤮

[@BM-hm7ub]

Did a similar trip in mine when I collected it. Cumbria to Bedfordshire - 45mpg average on the display. I was super surprised. I generally stick mine in eco on a motorway for the commute then back into comfort for normal roads as the eco mode throttle map is junk for stop start driving. Oh and mines a manual.

[@JordanNichollsYouTube]

I think these kind of real world videos are actually really useful if you’re looking for something like this. The mapping and better MPG isn’t surprising, as that’s what Superchips etc always say happens. New commenter and subscriber!!

[@TheJoeStorey]

Must admit I am surprised at how economical mine is. Messed around with the eco setting the day I got it (as well as sports of course!) but haven't taken it out of comfort since then! Love the M140i content, keep it up!

[@AB-vi8zl]

Your car’s been in comfort since you bought it? Lol

[@scotwilson4169]

Every time I say to myself I'll do an eco run I always end up ruining it with a fast stretch 😂 Like last week coming back from Cornwall the satnav was routing me AROUND Dartmoor, went straight through and had loads of fun over the moors👍 Return journey this week managed 37mpg best I could get, that's about 60:40 motorway and A roads and quite a lot of hills. Was still happy with that. Oh and a few overtakes stuck in there as well

[@johnwebster9658]

Managed 43 over 100 miles of motorway and a few a roads in my m135, was very pleased with that

[@JohnHardingBuxton]

Totally agree about the practicality/comfort of the M140i for long drives.

[@markbaker3528]

That was actually super helpful for someone like myself who looking to upgrade from a 125d to a 140i. This has confirmed to me that I will be able to afford to run one, so thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

[@gh4z]

The B58 is incredible. Able to squeeze 450~bhp out of a grand worth of upgrades, yet get about 40mpg. It's reliable too! 👌 Great humour BTW 👍

[@lookship]

Cheers man 🙌 I know right...awesome numbers

[@DjNikGnashers]

44mpg is pretty bloody incredible really.. My M140i running 455bhp/634nm has seen about 42 on the on board computer, but it's also been as low as 5 ...

[@F1MichaelGT]

I do a lot of long distance journeys in mine. For cruising after the car has warmed up you can expect: 60+mpg at 30mph 55mpg @ 40 52 mpg @ 50 48 mpg @ 60 42 mpg @ 70 38 mpg @ 80 33 mpg @ 90

[@alexburnip7428]

I've had 42mpgs out of my 240i, pretty impressive!

[@Magezzz]

Ive had both cars focus rs and current m140i. The m140i is also better on b roads with upgraded suspension. I have b8s and h&r springs and its compliant on the motorway, handles really well and I've had up to 46mpg before when taking it easy

[@pmr01]

i went from an m140 and can totally believe what you got. I have no idea how your mate with the s55 got 39.8 (or whatever from the computer) as my m4 comp is feckin ridiculous on fuel. not sure how on that journey - maybe weight difference, but unusual on a cruise - your mate got those numbers. well done him.

[@strongerandwiser2023]

At the moment I average about 22mpg in my m2. Which is alot better than it was when I first got it and wanted to keep it in sports mode everywhere. I was averaging 19mpg at best back then.

[@gavinj6800]

Ive been doing the same on motorways in my 440i recently. Defo makes a big difference from sports + to economy mode lol

[@brettkimber6851]

I’m currently using my M135i N55 for my weekly 600 mile commute. Averaging about 41mpg 👍

[@m140i_james]

They are surprisingly economical. I took mine to the Ring last year and on the drive to for the Eurotunnel, the trip computer had it at 50.8mpg for a short time. Granted it never actually stayed that high and ended up at around 44mpg before blasting it a few times around the Ring, but I was well chuffed with that tbh. Keep the vids coming anyway man, always look forward to them.

[@lookship]

I need to get myself to the ring. Want a baffled sump first though before I stick a set of slicks on it.

[@paradox5556]

Eco mode would shift sooner and probably would make you more economical when accelerating due to the throttle mapping and shift points. In my car with the n63, eco mode also lets the coolant get much hotter (113C) before opening the thermostat, thus being more efficient.

[@marcbirchley2418]

That's bloody amazing! Don't worry about letting me win the competition... I like my car clean but I only got a Pug 107... Bit of a downgrade from the 300bhp Octy VRS I did have but 70 mile return trip commute killed me a tad!

[@jeffabbott463]

I was very surprised to see my M140i hit 45mpg on a 400 mile round trip. Doubt my OG M2 Manual will do the same! Love C&M….

[@SChapps]

Pretty impressive how economic that big engine can be with the auto gearbox. My Abarth can do 44mpg but my daily commute is a 5 minute drive on dual carriageway with 3 roundabouts so my average mpg is in the mid 20s 😅

[@richardtrow2751]

The best mpg I've had out of my M135i was 38 but that was in convoy to Holland for Bimmerfest, I'm lucky to see 25mpg most times but I just use it for fun and it's running 440whp 😉

[@artsylouis6257]

What have you done for 440whp because it doesn’t reach that without going stage 3…

[@richardtrow2751]

@@artsylouis6257 hi mate very long list including pureturbos stage2, high pressure fuel pump upgrade, baffled sump , BCS 100 CEL cat to remus center to M performance rear silencer, 2 step colder NGK Plugs , CSF intercooler, forge charge pipes , Dv+ diverted valve , , quaife LSD , B12 SUSPENSION KIT, underbody brace etc, etc I'm sure I've missed loads but last time it went on dyno at whiff bits they do a lot of supras and stuff it showed 438 at the wheels, I've custom tuned it through MHD The custom tune is off pureboost de .

[@Ajojets]

Good video, I could get 40 mpg in my manual 140i on a long trip as long as the wife was onboard, she thought it was an 1.8 engined car, ever told her it had 340 Bhp.

[@trowwzers5057]

I have a 2020 Chevy Malibu that says it does 28mpg city and 36mpg highway. However, I used hypermiling and got an average of 39mpg in the city and 47mpg on freeways. I could get 52 mpg if I were to go 50-55mph; however, I would get pulled over for driving too slow. I usually go 65mph and get 47mpg

[@Backkicksmith]

Ashamedly, I have my F20 M135i in Eco Mode most of the time... every time I stick it in sports it makes it seem even more responsive 😂 you have a great sense of humour bud, keep up the content!

[@Hackerproo]

Thats what the sport mode is for.

[@nathannn3965]

so glad you can get decent mileage out of it 🤣 can actually justify me getting one!

[@dannywhite132]

Considering my e87 116i with only 120bhp does 34mpg (and I dont even drive hard) makes me realise how much economy has come on

[@grahamsalmons2027]

These BMs are incredibly parsimonious if you moderate your right foot! I get 50mpg out my 330d touring driving normally - totally agree with your ecopro remark - which for a 3.0 turbo (albeit diesel) I think is amazing! I work of 600 miles in a tank. During the fuel ‘crisis’ didn’t need to go anywhere near a petrol station!

[@samwayne9000]

Try premium diesel, it’ll change your life

[@bh4560]

Must be tempting to use that glorious engine though! M140i is on my bucket list. Future classic.

[@dylanchadwick8905]

Mad difference between the B58 and N55. I matched the M2 comp on a 400 mile cruise

[@paulcs2607]

Another great video. Perfectly illustrates fuel economy it’s all down to how are you drive. People who say they can’t get more than low 20s need to watch this.

[@m4rtin81]

400 plus bhp along with an m2 in tandem. The temptation to gun it at most points must have been a struggle. Another cracking vid man. 👌🏼

[@lookship]

Had a few nice motors pass us on the way to C&M too which made it even harder to not give it a quick squirt 😅

[@jw1346]

I'm away to test my a45 this weekend trip to Edinburgh and back from Aberdeen hopefully around the 40mpg mark

[@fJackz]

Another banger of a video, It's always surprising what these engines can do on both ends of the scale!

[@lookship]

Thanks man 🙌 Yeah I was quite pleasantly surprised. So was Glenn. Don't think he's had more than 20 out of it before 🤣

[@Alfie.Goalkeeping]

Better MPG than I can ever get in my S3, I keep looking out for your m140i as I live in New marske but still not seen it about. 😐🙂

[@filmboy18]

It's not really that impressive tbh. It's direct injection so it should be very economical when cruising no matter the engine size (to a certain point), injector size, power or any other modifications engine wise. Auto boxes don't really lower economy like they use to. Nowadays they are way more efficient and actually help. I'm thinking of buying a 140 at some point in the future (currently have a 350hp fiesta) so this is a good insight into what to expect fuel consumption wise.

[@s11smk87]

Red interior is the best

[@OblivionsEdge]

Can hypermile my 2017 120i m sport to get about 48mpg on the motorway.... only two cylinders less... might be cheating...

[@leong1163]

That’s pretty good! Got a remapped 120D and mine does 70 mpg on motorway (obvs keeping to 60-65 mph)

[@789ghost342ghost]

Cheers mate good to know

[@jakommer]

The one nice thing in eco pro mode is the coasting function. The throttle respons tho..

[@DannyGartside]

As i understand it the manual its pretty uneconomical on a long run. I'm told in 6th cog its running at about 2.5 to 3 thousand revs...drinking it! I know you mentioned about whether it uses more juice in comfort or sport at 70mph...i've tried that out and if you're cruising along at 70 in comfort, check your fuel economy gauge wotsit...then change to sport and at the same speed to relative mpg is lower at the same speed...flick it back and it better despite the revs being the same and the speed being the same #baffled

[@welshweeks01]

Enjoyed the video and your previous ones buddy. Seriously considering one of these as my next car, Im also considering a Mk7.5 Golf GTI Performance. My only reservation with the 140 is they are looking a little dated as you've previously mentioned.

[@adamhayden3550]

Pretty good considering the power, my 320ci with only 168bhp will only get around 35mpg on a sedate Motorway trip, 19 round town.

[@M40ULK]

If you had driven in eco pro mode you would have got a lot more mileage. I have a X3 m40i and I’ve managed to get 450 miles from a full tank driving in eco pro mode with urban and motor way miles combined.

My average over the last 2000 miles in all types of driving is 35 mpg. Interestingly that with MHD stage 2. When it was still stage 1 it was more like 32 mpg. If anyone has MHD, I would encourage you to go straight to stage 2. The car is better in all respects. The trade off is that you really ought to change your plugs and coils first, and your oil change interval should be no more than 6000 miles.

Just throwing in here. With the passing of the Australian automotive industry, Cars like my Holden Commodore (Vauxhaul VXR over there) have shot up in price astronomically. Considering cars that were 40-60K AUD (25-40K pounds... aka "a fiver") are now commanding easily 60-100 to even 250K it just didn't make sense to keep buying a large Aussie car anymore. So I started looking for a smaller hot hatch to replace my 10 year old VE, looking at things like the Golf and the RS.. but one thing always got me. Front Wheel drive is no fun. Beemers are considered a luxury brand over here (starting at 60k for a base model) so they had never even entered my mind as a fun car, but after a friend recommended a 135 and a few of your videos later I ordered a second hand 140 sight unseen, sort by cheapest and blue, of the Internet (no my names not Moog! ha!). It turns up later this week and I'm sure I'm going to have a blast. PS: I've already ordered a blue start button.
