STAGE 2 M240i - How Does It Compare To My M140i?

You should put a 2 series front end on your 140 I’m sure a lot of people don’t know you can do a straight swap with just a bumper and headlights. Would be interesting to see 👍🏼

Looks so good, I’m thinking of getting a 240 or 235i next year for an upgrade. Debating whether or not to put a 140 front end on, generally prefer 2 series front but I like to be different.

[@MrMikejam23]

Yeah, I find this in my M240i, it's a bit annoying.

[@scarzen1]

theres a reason why the gearbox has a torque limiter, you need to check how much torque the gearbox is okay to handle

[@freddiefudpucker6204]

Gearbox can handle it. Torque is limited to stop insane wheelspin.

[@diegoperete7158]

Lifes too short to stay stock, get tuned.

[@techfreaks4134]

If it's say the same gearbox I got in my staged 2 mapped bmw 435d, then trust me it handle it no problem

[@OfficialSIRTRAPRELOADED]

@@techfreaks4134 no it‘s not the same as far as I know. The 40i‘s run the 8hp50z and the 435d the 8hp70z or something. Some people even swapped the gearboxes already to the diesel one but they run insane power figures so it‘s understandable

[@ganuv]

It’s ok to handle way more then factory ! 800hp no problem. It’s the engine you have to worry about.

Hi Luke. Fellow m140i from Australia here.Firstly love the videos. Been following for a while now. Love the way you heading with the baby M. I just wanted to let you know a recent mod I have done to my car. Xhp flash tune for the gearbox. I am also running stage 2 ecu tune. But the gearbox tune is by far the most incredible difference I have seen. Just some food for thought

Does the front and rear bumpers from the M2 fit on the M240i? I feel like it would make the car look so much better if people swapped them out.

[@superjofi1]

I doubt it. The M2 has wider fenders. You can easily see that by looking at the back. The bodywork sticks out way further beyond the lights on the m2 compared to the m240i

Great video chaps! Shoutout to Rhys too!

[@XclusiveAaron]

The 1 and 2 series are very similar, the chassis is a bit different but the reason they are so similar is because it basically is the same car in most ways. They just do 1 series and 2 series now instead of 1 series hatch and 1 series coupe (instead of 2 series) like before, but I'm sure you know that 😉

As well as my M140i which i have an converted to an AC Schnitzer including the power module, I have a tuned Golf GTI Pirelli. I know that with my golf i had the DSG remapped because it would not allow the full use of the torque the tuned engine would produce. How much torque does the ZF8 cope with before you need to remap it> Mine is running about 600nm.

[@robertgladstone5194]

@@scottmcgregor4437 thank you. So if the gearbox is built to take that much torque why would anyone need to remap the box other than for faster shifting, or is that figure the max it will take but is not setup to do initially?

[@scottmcgregor4437]

@@robertgladstone5194 i watched a vid of a strip down of the zf 8 speed and the guy just said the max torque the gearbox could take is 1050nm. So i guess that is figure before you start wrecking internals, but we all know you can still wreck a box with well under that max figure.

[@scottmcgregor4437]

@@robertgladstone5194 the torque comes from the output of the engine, standard is 500nm so it is well within the parameters. The gearbox ecu will be mapped to limit certain areas in the rev range to prevent wheel spin etc.

[@OCOWGTR27]

A stock 140 beats an OG M2 in a straight line (with N55). A Stg 2 140 beats a M2C in a straight line

[@OCOWGTR27]

@daniel mayes Well the question was would it beat it in a straight. So the answer is yes, but depends on which M2 and which mods. M2 far better track car though

[@smc2069]

I think a stage 1 m140 will beat an m2c from 100-200

[@smc2069]

@daniel mayes m140 is the best value for money though its nearly half the price of an m2c/rs3 and beats both with a £500 remap.

[@smc2069]

@daniel mayes as stated originally from 100-200. Of course around a track its inferior suspension, brakes, tyres etc it cant compete with the rs and m cars but in terms of value for money its unbeatable. You could spend 10k on one to make it as quick as an rs3/m2c round a track

Where on earth has he got upwards of £30k from? Again, even if it’s on finance it’s still a £400 to £500 car a month, his credit score would have to be immaculate and high, his annual salary would have to be minimum £25k a year and he would have put down a few grand down on deposit. Ultimately I don’t understand it, but fairplay to him.

EL m240 or through twisties. I’ve been on track in both. Felt like I was going to die in the m140i, m2 is far better tied down, but I will agree that the b58 is a monster of an engine. The M2 n55 sounds better but doesn’t have the tuning potential out of the box. Straight line is one thing but through bends stock to stock.... M2 destroys the M140/240 package, It is in a different league round a track stock to stock, But yea you could spend a fair few K on a 140 or 240 and it might be as quick........ but you’ll never see that money again.
