You’re very honest and genuine Brett. That M5 was a fantastic car, but your reasons for parting with it totally make sense and is a very sensible alternative. I’m sure you’ll end up going back to the m140i’s 👍
What's your current MPG?, I'm considering buying one someday, but I'm worried about the autonomy and fuel consumprtion. I know is not going to be brilliant because is what it is, but is it allright?
Feel your pain, I bought a R35 GTR and to be honest is was stretching my budget quite a bit. Driving it I too was always worried if I got stung by a maintenance bill. I kept it 2 years and it was crippling to keep it running giving it all it required to keep it in top shape. You made the right choice in my opinion, also I didn’t have to explain myself on TH-cam.
I think you made the right decission. I would recommend you buying a bmw 220i/230i/120i/125i, those cars got the B48 2.0 twin power turbo with 184 hp or 242. You can use it as a daily because the consumption is very good if you don't push it so hard, and you can really enjoy when you want too, because the power is really good. In stage one you can get almost 300 hp, if somehow you feel like you need more power. I've got mine in september 2021 and I'm in love, is like a baby GTI or S3, but much cooler in my opinion.
A mini jcw uses the same power plant and has alot more power to weight ratio and the mods available are insane. Great all rounder in my opinion. Pre lci is the way too go when buying one as well.
@@darrenm7251 Yes, that car is like the new 128ti I think because is Fwd right? The pre LCI 2 is better in sound because that car doesn't get the PPF filter. But in tech and design I would get the LCI 2 from (2017-2020) because it gets the ID6 and a better design dashboard. But all around, they are all great cars.
@@pablonavaridas3302 correct yes all on personal preference in tech etc in terms of all out power and mods pre lci is the way to go. If you're not fussed about a lil less noise and theatre they're great cars
Think you have made the right decision. The M5 was awesome, but I think a hot hatch would suit you better. 😁 love to see an M2 or 140i back on the channel, or even a scirocco r or golf gti/r. Either way, I love your videos.
I get it completely mate. I got rid of my 140 to free up some cash for a few investments and haven't looked back. Running round in a 2k polo and it's great. You've done the right thing and hopefully something tasty will he along when the timing is right. Shame the market is so high right now!
This Video is basically how i feel at the moment on a lower scale with my audi s3. Very relatable. I think you made the right decision and will find another perfectly suited car.
Defiantly the right thing to do! To be honest I never thought it looked like you "loved" it! As for the future; Volvo V60 Polestar (3.0, not 2.0), obviously an M140i (manual maybe to differentiae it!) or an M4 (manual, as auto M4s have been done already!).
@@dm1lls919 I beg to differ, I own one just need to change to the birds short shift kit and clutch dead stop. Also once it gets some mileage the gearbox just feels a lot smoother.
Thought this would happen (and I'm glad it did)! I loved the M5 but wasn't a content magnet in my opinion. On the plus side, you've owned a M5 for a few months which is an experience. Get a Cupra! You don't see many 4WD versions on TH-cam. Also very relatable.
I think you made the right move. personally the reason i started watching is because your a similar age and drive a similar car therefore its relatable and i could actually learn a thing or two. I dont think the M5 is relatable to many people out there
I commented on your M5 'first drive' vid saying I didn't think it was the right move to which you replied 'watch this space' haha... if it ain't it, it ain't it. Look forward to seeing you get something else soon! I had an M240i which was recently a write-off too, so I'm currently looking at other 240/140s, Golf Rs, S3s - E92 M3 could a shout for you, but need to get rod bearings done asap if you do.
It’s the honesty for me! Those M5s are a serious piece of kit but expensive. Try an Audi. S3 or similar. A car with massive potential and they look unreal too!
Definitely go back to the 1 series please. I’ve just brought myself a Standard sport F20 and am planning on making it into a MSport with all brand new bodywork, interior, ect.
I suggest the Rs3(2018 facelift or newer) its a great hot hatch with a distinctive 5cyl, and I'm sure VAG cars are super exciting to modify with a lotta stuff
Gotta say, just as a casual observer, the M5 didn’t feel like a natural fit. Sorta felt like you were driving your dad’s car if you know what I mean..! Nothing worse than driving a car in fear of any slightly dodgy sound or fault though, so good riddance I’d say 🙌
get something like a 340i f30 with a b58 i think they are slightly better looking and youve already had two 1 series so i think a 3 series is the way to go they are good cars and price isnt too bad aswell and they are highly tuneable performance and look wise like the 140
I’d love to see you try out the 340i or 440i Brett! M Lite beasts that use the B58, so you’ve still got that solid engine but in a bigger car like the M5.
Sensible decision man - if you weren't happy, best to get rid quickly than sit on something that could turn into a huge moneypit. I know nothing about them, but if you wanted something a little more grown up around the same age (2013+), what about a spicy estate? 340i? Or get something a little older like an E90/91/92/93 335i? Some competition for your dad, plus those look absolutely incredible and had the N55 V6 for the 2011-2013 production run.
Old video but im an owner of an M5 looking at an m140i for modofication and a few other cars are in the mix aswell M5 always wanted one but now ive owned one a car that is at 560bhp stock is just not fun. For me whats the point in modifying a car thats already 560bhp when do you ever need that on british roads.
I'd love to see a start to finish f56 pre lci mini jcw! They're great cars stock and or modified! Insurance isn't too bad either and the after market/oem ++ mods for it are plentiful
I loved the M5 and think it’s an incredible car, but for content purposes I didn’t think it suited the Channel. Going straight from an M140 too a M5 is a big jump❤️
I think you’re too worried on pleasing people and doing what you “think” others would want you to do. Take your time, think “what do I want from the next car, hatchback, coupe, saloon etc. does it need to be able to have mods readily available? Is it expensive to run. Don’t buy a car because you think it makes you seem cool or trendy, buy it because you want to and do with it as you please.
Maybe do a video test driving some cars so you can get a feel for them before deciding to make a purchase? If you do go for another 140i, there’s still some different bits you could do this time around which really improve how they drive, like fitting an LSD and M3 control arms
Brett you have done a great choice, I used to have a 2018 BMW 530i, maintenance and repairs are a pain... You need to do try other car brands and do a research on it. I only like German cars but this time a came up with something different. I'm glad to have my new Ford. Keep believing yourself!
I stopped the video just to comment about M5. I have a friend who had one. Older than you, grafting hard in its life, family supported as well. He told me, this car is a money pit. Spending thousands of euros to maintain it, have a few launches and driving it less than 5000 miles per year while spending a ridiculous amount of cash to maintain at a high standard. And he sold it. And now he has a normal car, still a bmw a 2019, X5 and is more than happy with the decision he’s done. 2 kids, his whole family secured.
Makes sense Matt if there is not much mods for an M5 and you want video content. Also save a lot of money on fuel.follow your heart on your next car. Maybe an abarth 595 competizione.😀🤔
Hi Brett I have been in your position I purchased a E93 M3 fully loaded with super low mileage and the car was superb but it comes with expenses you don't want. It had a service, luckily not the big service, and if you didn't run it on a weekly basis of have you the low voltage on the dash. So new battery with the service £900! Still got the battery light on! Then when out of warranty a adaptive headlight required replacing after getting condensation in it. Wow £1996 fixed it at BMW . Went to pick it up after replacement and saw a very low mileage M140i on the BMW dealers forecourt and traded the M3 in. Must admit I haven't got all the toys on it but find it an excellent car and no worries about rod bearings or throttle actuators having to be fitted at a major cost. Brett invest in a late M140i again and increase your you tube followers!!!
Did have a feeling you'd get rid of it quickly. Not watched rest of video yet but id assume the maintence costs would be through the roof and it didn't really come across as a young lads car.
I find it a bit mad you had an M5 but kept mentioning the 140i don’t think you can compare them. Each to their own but they are in totally different leagues.
Have you considered a octavia vrs petrol 16 plate and up they have a big following but you never see anyone modify one or at least I haven't on youtube.Another car you should maybe have a look at is a merc cla 45 amg 4 matic...another absolute fantastic car or even another m140i but please don't get a golf r they've been done so so many times it's getting boring
You definitely did the right thing selling the m5. And you need to get another m140i because you never finished your old m140i so if you do get another one you’ll be able to do all the modifications you couldn’t do on your old one! 👍🏼
Would love to see you stick with the BMW’s mate. Don’t go backwards, move forward - M240i which has that great B58 engine that you love so much. Should give you plenty of content too. Cheers.
I would actually really really like to see you doing videos on "affordable" cars for anyone, like you did with your old 118i, idk, maybe even some diesel ones like my A3 diesel which i use as a daily, or a good 120d F20, maybe with right tuning and things like that. I would love a series on a 3.0 TDI A5 maybe, but idk if in England diesel is seen as here in Italy
Good video Brett but I think comments on the reliability of the m5 may be a bit over exaggerated I got my self one 18 months ago and love it for sure there are failures out there but just as much as other car brands there is loads of threads on Internet about many other brands engines going caput I believe in good servicing and no engine mods why does anyone need more power they are already a 550hp animal lol 👍😁
I would like you to buy a BMW F31, it’s practical and sporty and it would be nice to see videos on the touring model because everybody is doing videos on F30 sedans.
I think a 4x4 project would be good content, plenty of modifications (not a lot of money) I’ve just sold my m140i and bought a 64 plate hilux and love it !
So after watching that, fair play mate, it all makes sense... I can see you getting a golf- maybe R32? But fair play, keep these videos coming, I'm really enjoying them
Don’t worry about what other people think. You made a very adult decision and that mindset will pay off in the future. Either way I’m excited to see what comes next
This is going against your point of costs and reliability, but why not a drift build (or something more track oriented) with something like an e30 or e46? Seems like you enjoyed the off-road time and I think they would give so much more to learn and talk about the mechanics, which certainly will have some fixes to be done.
You made the right call, not only for financial stability but i personally think you just didn't suit the m5, you look the part with your old m140i, so hopefully a m140i or even a m240i might be on the cards again
Dont go back to m140i. No point, content has already been done by you and many others. B58 engine on the 3 or 4 series if sticking BMW. Or as others have said mini jcw.
No point having a car you're not 100% about mate.. Personally I reckon you should get something dirt cheap that you can work on yourself to learn more skills
You’re very honest and genuine Brett. That M5 was a fantastic car, but your reasons for parting with it totally make sense and is a very sensible alternative. I’m sure you’ll end up going back to the m140i’s 👍
A nice m2 has got to be on the list. Currently got a N55 M2 and it’ll provide the best of both worlds, seriously worth taking one out at least

Mk3.5 Focus RS, i know its abit out there but why not... don't see hundreds on youtube and they're easy to modify👀
Honestly the m5 is a great car but for TH-cam I don’t see that being the best car for content.

Get a cupra 300 or go old and get a Ibiza cupra/bonca
As an M140i owner myself, I’d like to see an M240i on the channel to see what you think it’s like in comparison etc
I agree different platform but b58
140 has the stiffer chassis which makes it brilliant through corners, 240 is brilliant for going to the hairdressers in.
E92 m3 is a dream car and would be cool to see some content on, as long as the rod bearings and throttle actuators are done.

B58 rules

I had a manual M240i stage 2, was lovely mate! Maybe a hot hatch or a coupe?

Buy something different than we see everyday in the UK, something different that has lots of potential, that would be so interesting.
Peugeot 106 would be class
I think originally you just needed to be more transparent, but your an honest guy Brett, looking forward to the next build 👍🏾
How about, an M2? Or an M240i? Maybe one of the new G generation BMWs?
I find it a bit mad you had an M5 but kept mentioning the 140i don’t think you can compare them. Each to their own but they are in totally different leagues.
The M5 can be a reliable car if well maintained and not tuned.
But respect your honesty and all the best to you! 👊🏻

If your hearts not in it then there's no point keeping it. I love the m5 but it's not for everyone
Cupra or golf r mk7.5 ?
Would love to see you stick with the BMW’s mate. Don’t go backwards, move forward - M240i which has that great B58 engine that you love so much. Should give you plenty of content too. Cheers.
Mental how dedicated you are, to base your car on your channel and followers. Brilliant video as always!

b58...? 340i?
i think you should get a 2018 vw golf r
Has to either be a M140i or a 240i
I would like you to buy a BMW F31, it’s practical and sporty and it would be nice to see videos on the touring model because everybody is doing videos on F30 sedans.
Your daily car is big, so get a roadster! E89 restyling is a masterpiece.
honestly a normal m2 are good money at the moment, that N55 is glorious
i think you should go for a e92 m3 or 335i
I think a 4x4 project would be good content, plenty of modifications (not a lot of money) I’ve just sold my m140i and bought a 64 plate hilux and love it !
Rs3 or a35
M4 could be a good replacement as it has much more mod possibilities than the m5 as the next car
Not shocked. Ridiculous car to run for anyone at any age
So after watching that, fair play mate, it all makes sense... I can see you getting a golf- maybe R32? But fair play, keep these videos coming, I'm really enjoying them
If you want an R32, I’ve got one for sale soon
I would love if you get another M140i
Don’t worry about what other people think. You made a very adult decision and that mindset will pay off in the future. Either way I’m excited to see what comes next
audi s3 or rs3 has to be next
any type of hot hatch
Completely understand the decision, I recon you go for a 335i and go to town on it!
How about a classic sports car? An old Cayman or a BMW E30.
Civic Type-R, Fiesta/Focus ST, Seat Leon/Cupra, Mini JCW, Suzuki Swift
This is going against your point of costs and reliability, but why not a drift build (or something more track oriented) with something like an e30 or e46? Seems like you enjoyed the off-road time and I think they would give so much more to learn and talk about the mechanics, which certainly will have some fixes to be done.
You made the right call, not only for financial stability but i personally think you just didn't suit the m5, you look the part with your old m140i, so hopefully a m140i or even a m240i might be on the cards again
the m5 was kinda meh anyway tbh great and fast but just kinda meh
Would love to see what you could really do with a M140i/240i given the right amount of time, but also Audi s3/4's are very cool...
