This car is gonna be a madness when it's finished love the plates M140 TR cant wait to see what build you make on this bro keep up the cool Content brother 👏🔥your smashing it bro as love the M140's they have alot of power potential going for them
I’ve had mine nearly a year, the B58 is unreal. Definitely do the powerflex subframe inserts, and the OEM underbody rear brace, absolutely transforms the handling, the floaty feeling when pushing on is gone, and the brace helps massively with the squirming at the back end, add an LSD and it’ll put the power down a LOT better as well!
Voll Care Yes I went with the Yellows, the NVH has increased slightly, but it’s very minor. I was toying with the idea for a while, I didn’t want it to be overly firm, as it’s not going to be a track car for me, it’s noticeably firmer, but bang on for a daily. The black ones will be way too much for a daily car, the yellows are just perfect in my opinion, and pairing them with the OEM brace has exceeded my expectations.
HI THERE. Could you list the necessary chassis modifications including LSD install which can make this car oerform close to the performance if an M2? And which dealer in uk able to complete these mods?
Got an M140i myself, I got the xdrive version. Epic off the line and you can still drift because it can send 100% to the back. Also have a Remus exhaust, one of the best in my opinion for this car.
You described this pretty much perfectly. I had mine for about a year and I got bored of it, felt like an average 1 series with a big engine. It definitely needs the chasis mods that you mentioned to make it a great car, I personally didn't want to do that. Looking forward to the future vids.
Hi Hamza I've had my m140i Shadow for 2 years now...thanks for doing this review of this great car that is also affordable...many people think the m140i is old school and dated but I'm sure you agree the push you get out of corners with the sound of the B58 is second to none...8sp zf adaptive and michilin pilot supersports is a magical combination...my car is stock and it's so good I'm leaving it as it is 🧢👍🏽
I’ve nothing but positive words to say about these cars, £18,000 for a decent spec one which can be tuned to 420bhp with a stage 1 tune, fantastic engine. I had mine for 2 years, had decats and all the carbon trims, traded it in for an M2 which is on another level but in a straight line I miss the pull from that B58
Underbody brace firms up the back end as well mate done lsd under body brace poly bushed subframe and diff bushes b8 bilstein dampers and M4 LCAS unreal difference
Understand where you‘re coming from. There a quite some xdrive ones over here, but I just love the fact it‘s rwd. That‘s y I chose it. Like it makes driving so much more fun. I‘ve had a S3 8l with a turbo conversion and it was fast, but over the time just boring cause you could just put the pedal to the metal. In the M140i every corner becomes a true pleasure.
Hamza you are so much more watchable and relatable than others.. That's a gift man😂 Plus you've now got a 140.. same as me we are like brothers from another mother now 🙏
I’m struggling to like my 140 so far. I’ve had it for around 6 weeks and was the exact spec I wanted. I think the quite obvious traction issues and lack of diff really shine through when your a confident enough driver to really grab it by the scruff of the neck. Not sure if I’m willing to pay for the diff or not…
Had one for 4months now black shadow Edition same spec as yours 18 plate. I love it, the engine!! sound is so addictive, silky smooth to drive, Definitely worth the money. I did plan to get an rs3 15-16 plate but there still to expensive in my opinion. Keep the videos coming 👊🏽
I know i did really want a facelift rs3 but was out my price range, pre facelift are still way over priced with the mileage some are on. Glad i went with the m140i in the end.
Great car, massively compromised. Get the chassis sorted and you'll wonder how you drove on stock suspension! Also found traction mode is the best balance for me. Gives you comfort throttle so not as sensitive and enough slip
Definitely be following this mate! Ps - I have an alcantara phone case, and also my steering wheel. Clean it with a little washing powder and warm water, should come up like new 👌
Drag/rolling race between this and the RS3 before you start modding it 👀 I know it’s on par if not a bit faster than the pre face RS3, but it’ll be very interesting to see how it compares with the FL RS3 OPF. Especially considering OPF RS3s have a stronger mid range.
Thanks man, as long as you take it easy to begin with you should be alright. With traction on you won’t get into issues unless you’re deliberately trying something
One of the few guys I can listen to the whole way through. Nice vids bro... and while I'm here, anyone know the best place to map my infiniti 3.0 d? Thanx either way. Peace
Y Chassis Brace from the M240i would help with the floatiness chief. Also consider coding out the fake engine noise or use Bimmerlink to switch it off (this can also be used to manually control the exhaust flap (if fitted)). 👍🏻
I noticed that with almost every re trimmed alcantara steering wheel I've seen, they naturally look like they've been driven by someone who's dipped their hands in oil before they drive
I wish I still had mine, Had it for 3 and half years then got rid at end of PCP contract. I looked forward to driving it every day I don't think i will ever own a better car.
@@vollcare4076 It's a completely different car, a Volvo S60 R line new car. I picked this car mainly on price it was such a good bargain on a lease deal. I have been very surprised how good it is but it's not a BMW M 140.
Have you moved on to the BMWs I had a golf before watched all your vids. I've just bought an old 525d so not watch much of your vids but I'm hooked again now your on BMS.
Drove a 120I for first time this week. Handling was poor even compared to my standard 06 VXR. Floaty was the word even on a smooth bypass. Not what I expected at all.
Hamza, just a heads up. If you're ever having a spirited drive by the roads surrounding Himley. There's been hidden speed vans, on a lot of the roads there for the last week and a half 👍

I’ve owned one for 4 years now. Still blows my mind how fast and fun to drive it is.
I'm looking to get a 440i with the same B58 engine. How has it been reliability wise in your 4 years of ownership Matthew?
No problems with it at all. All I've done is had it serviced couple of times and set of new tyres. I had it from new btw.
@@MattWilliams482 what’s the current mileage?

Blows my mind aswell. Got banned from driving for 1 year after maxing it out on a dual carriage way. Sad times

That alcantara wheel needs brought back to life. Had one on my m140. Got to keep on top of them, they are a dirt magnet.
Agreed it’s a bit flat at the minute will see if it comes back up nice, worst case I’ll get a retrim
I can’t lie, the stock diffuser has to go. It makes the car look a bit cheap from that colour but I love your m140i
Easily solved, that’s minor compared to what else is gonna be changed on this car 😂
@@TRHamza make it a single exhaust and put a 116i badge on it
most owner swap em out with Rieger/ autoid/ maxton. I have same car don’t know why they OEM the grey one. Doesn’t look the part on a black car.

Is the volvo coming back, we need more on the volvo love seeing that car on your channel.
Sounds absolutely amazing... the exhaust, engine.... everything.
Honestly the stock form of this car, is just incredible. Ill never wrap my head around it after owning it for a good few months now.
Best all-rounder, love these cars.
Cant wait for the vids on this, loving the content you’ve come a long way since KSV keep it up 👍🏼
Thank you! 🙌🏼

Enjoying the content man.
Keep it up!!
Big ups from Ukraine!!!
Thanks man glad to have you watching from Ukraine!
Glad you’ve jumped back in another straight 6!
Shame you can't get the 4wd xdrive version of the M140i like in Germany, then you'd be able to put down all that power ..

Started looking at a Pure800 turbo for mine recently. Want to sort some wider wheels and suspension first. Will be watching this with interest.
Whilst all other channels are buying their first lambos ....Hamza out here with relatable content. Good stuff

The facelift RS3 is so much more desirable, but the price is ridiculous when compared to the value for money in an M140i
I know i did really want a facelift rs3 but was out my price range, pre facelift are still way over priced with the mileage some are on. Glad i went with the m140i in the end.
Damn bro, thought it'd be a 4 cylinder. Ended up to be the inline 6. Awesome man. Inline 6 shizzle and a lot of 5 pots. You're the boss! Go on man! 👌
Got me excited for this build can't wait for the mods to start.
Great car, massively compromised. Get the chassis sorted and you'll wonder how you drove on stock suspension! Also found traction mode is the best balance for me. Gives you comfort throttle so not as sensitive and enough slip
BMW inline 6 with rwd 🔥. Motech kit would look beastly 💪
Overpriced
Yes cuzzy bro Doing bits out here like the m1natwy i
Turn the Traction off once its done a cold start to get pops & bangs 💥
Definitely be following this mate!
Ps - I have an alcantara phone case, and also my steering wheel. Clean it with a little washing powder and warm water, should come up like new 👌

His RS3 is already like Stage 2.. the M140i would currently get destroyed, but I guess it would be good to see the differences
Yeah wouldve been good but can’t due to RS3 already being stage 2, but as a general idea the FL RS3 is still a lot quicker than this when stock.
@@TRHamza how on earth did I forget that the RS3 was stage 2 🤦♂️ forgive me I’m going through one of those slow days lol
Man that car flies! What would it be like with the hybrid installed omg
Went from Brett to your channel, first M140i videos on the same day... love your content
nice video, keep doing what you are with this, no boring bits straight to the point good job
Already loving the videos on this car, rlly considering buying one, how long does it take to get used to the rwd?
Thanks man, as long as you take it easy to begin with you should be alright. With traction on you won’t get into issues unless you’re deliberately trying something
Honestly in comfort or sport you barely notice that its rwd
went snow drifting in the m240i much more fun than my golf R. The R does slide but the bmw takes it by miles!
I could be wrong but the exhaust sounds slightly modified, what year car is it? Fantastic video btw the 140i is the best car out there for the money!
Glad you bought one. I love mine
That spec is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 interior & exterior.
One of the few guys I can listen to the whole way through. Nice vids bro... and while I'm here, anyone know the best place to map my infiniti 3.0 d? Thanx either way. Peace
