Modding cars whether you are young or old is addictive.I’m old enough to be your dad and I’ve modded my 140 to OEM + and absolutely love it. I’m having lowering springs done next month and hopefully a stage 1 remap in August.love your videos 😍
First thing I did when I got my new Cupra is upgrade the reverse light to an LED. Its the little things that make a big difference on a high end model. I had someone telling me on my channel that its 'not real modding' but I actually think these really sharpen things up. Mods don't always have to be performance or bodykit. Bet you're loving the B58.
You have to get led indicators, m mirror caps up to u preference and based on price, diffuser / side skirts / front lip etc, black the m140i badging, upgrade ur infotainment screen if not already and maybe look into an exhaust system varying form price. But ofc if any of these suggestions are expensive and you don’t really want to do them it’s fine 🙃 it’s just with those modifications the cars looks so much better 😩🤤
Great video Brett I’ve been here for almost a year now and really enjoyed the running/finance cost video just wondering if you could do the same video and maybe compare Ollies m135i vs the m140i 🙂🙃
Easy way to change the start button. If you have some blu-tack, squash a big lump onto the button & pull. Comes straight out then just pop the new button in. Takes 5 seconds & you don't need to disassemble anything.
Great channel. Always look forward to your content ! I also drive M140i and needing some inspiration on Mods! And of course “how to videos” lol Thinking about buying a vrsf downpipe and MPE. Have you got any exhaust upgrades coming soon? 😁
Brett, not sure if you know or anyone has already commented but instead of taking the whole button section out if you get a clay bar and press hard on the button and pull it will come off. Then you just slide in the new one 👍
I bought my start button from ali express, it only cost me about £1.50 and it came with a blutac like material to pull off the original button. It made it really easy to change
Just bought a black series 1 - 118i sports shadow edition on a 2018 plate - love your videos - already did the Emerals boot struts mod! looking for more ideas so I'll keep watching! was thinking about 3d number plates ?! - your opinion please? Thanks
Test drove one of these yesterday was really under welmed by it 😯 what is that accelerator I'd say pedal but it isn't its like a paddle all about lol very weird
Hi I've been watching your videos since I decided I wanted a 1 series. I picked it up last week. It's only a 116i (63 plate) but I love it. My first BMW. I know you had a 1 series before. What simple mods would you recommend first? I'm not very clued up on cars generally so I'd love to hear your opinion! Thank you!
Great video. Just a quick question... how do you find the pedal covers (which look awesome btw) when the souls of your trainers are wet do you find them slippy at all?
Hi Brett I've got a limit switch on my 1 series could I upgrade the cluster switch to a cruise control one or is it a whole new steering wheel and code this in thanks Brett please could you reply cheers Lee
I'm sticking a a couple of glugs in mine every few months, they do seem to drink a tad, check mine monthly atm, annoying that you can't see the levels without removing the cap each time😩
@@talkinghead9664 I top mine up slightly around every 6 months. Strange though because that’s a sealed pressurised system. Lots of bmw owners say they need to top up
@@AndyfromSurrey ha ha that's a good point, and weirdly mine seems to prefer to settle on the minimum. Had the car 8 months before I checked it and it wasn't low low but on the minimum,just have to monitor I guess 👍
Way to go i like the style you're going for. These small things makes a big difference when everything is done together. Looking forward to next video.
Obviously I'm not brett but for some context im 20, live in a nice area with a pre lci m135i and im paying £835 with 3 yrs no claims. Its £100 more than my 1.6 fiesta was, it makes no sense lol
@@BrettBarnesYTYeah the car looks sick all black ,i was planning to get a 335d touring in August but found that car on facebook and I had to have it. if you want too meet up, this week is best for me because I'm back to work next Monday

Mods are looking great 😍 - glad you like them!!
Want to hook me up with some mods aswell? ;)
Really is gonna take something to beat the look of your white BMW but looking forward to it great channel all the best 👍👌
I’ll beat it, just you wait 😏

Oooo, that paintwork is beautiful. Way more interesting than the white before

Can’t beat the sound of that car! 😂🔥
Tbf. All of these are mods even if people think they’re not. Cosmetics and lighting is just an awesome thing to do
Cheers for the discount code , just ordered myself some mirror caps for my 320i
Thanks for your order!!
Great channel. Always look forward to your content !
I also drive M140i and needing some inspiration on Mods!
And of course “how to videos” lol

Literally literally Literally literally Literally literally

I'm happy for your new car, you've grown so much and your channel as well. I hope you installed a Ghost on your car.

Need to wrap the V-brace behind the grille!
💯 Needs to be done 😍
Small touches makes a big difference

I love your modifications and I watch every vid of yours,keep up the good work.

Door lock covers look good. But I would try and do something with the ring that sticks out, nice polish cover next to a galvanised ring looks awful,
I recommend getting an aftermarket idrive controller knob, I think slink mods actually do them too😂, but I got mine from eBay
Don’t need it mate, already got pro nav 😁
Really nice little mods there that will just make the car feel that little bit more personalised mate
I swear to god a third of your vocabulary is the word "literally" ;)
Entertaining and educational video as always, keep em coming mate!
Yeah it’s literally is 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Essentially aswell lol
What about the whole carplay mmi you installed on the previous one? Are you gonna do that on the 145i as well?
Great car upgrade Brett 👍. Bet you’re loving it.
Yo bro! Just come across your channel :-)
What cleaning products do you use? Car came up gleaming 🔥
Great content Brett! Where did you buy your touch up paint and is it a perfect match?
Have you or are you going to upgrade the security / alarm? I’d highly recommend it
Literally
Nice video. Love these little starter mods when you first get a car. Looking forward to more on the car.
I fitted a red start stop button on the 4 series today. Looks so much better
Awesome video Brett! Loving the new car, looking forward to seeing further uploads on it

Love these kind of mods the little things make a big difference
Yeah 100%
Great video. Just a quick question... how do you find the pedal covers (which look awesome btw) when the souls of your trainers are wet do you find them slippy at all?
If I’m honest I’ve had them on my old and current car and I find them more grippy! They have some plastic lines on them which really help with grip! 🤩
where can i get mods now slink mods have shut down?
1:30 pls dechrome this bit!!!
Will you consider wrapping the entire car at any time in future ?. I think this will look super sick in white.
How much is insurance for the 140? I see lots of people asking?
How long is a roll of string?
@@tomventers the saying is ‘how long is a piece of string’ good effort though you cocky prick, and to answer your question James, probably expensive

Serious whip 😍
Prime time Saturday viewing 😎👌
Yeah that’s what I thought 😃
how much did the car cost
How much coolant did you top up, mine needs topping sometimes, btw nice car much better than your last one

@@anthonycampbell9807 safety in numbers hopefully!
Same here, I’m going to leave mine as it seems to settle on the min. If it stays there then I guess that is just it’s level.
@@AndyfromSurrey ha ha that's a good point, and weirdly mine seems to prefer to settle on the minimum. Had the car 8 months before I checked it and it wasn't low low but on the minimum,just have to monitor I guess 👍
Fair play mate m140 at 19 love the the vids keep it up
Thanks lewis! Lots to come
A mod that would be good is a steering wheel re trim from control customs
Congrats!!
Thanks lewis
7:10 resprayed door? Or factory paint? :(
i did notice that, it does seem way too orange pealey for factory paint
Yeah factory paint, just checked it. Seems like the camera made it look strange, looks perfect in person
What do you think about the 120i b48 ? I don’t wanna be paying £4K + for insurance on the m140i ??
Way to go i like the style you're going for. These small things makes a big difference when everything is done together. Looking forward to next video.
Like it plus no swearing subbed
Yeah I like to keep my content PG! Thanks for subscribing 😊
video about driving and mpg?
WARNING! WATCH WITH CAUTION!
This video will make you check out Slink Mods and spend your hard earned money on some pretty awesome mods 😄
😂😂 thank you for your order 🙌🏽
Another killer video 💯 Congratulations on the m140i bro 👊🏻 can't wait to see the next round of mods 😈
Excited for the next mods video
@@BrettBarnesYT get ready folks 👀 we are gonna break TH-cam with what's coming next 🤩
😜
Top video, love seeing the mods start! Got a M235i every time I watch one of your vids you make me want to spend more money on modding it
Is your 140i the same year as your other car
What’s the mileage?
You dont need to remove the button out thats long. Just put some tape on the button for5sec and pull it
1:16 WHY ON EARTH DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR OLD 1 SERIES ENGINE
Spare parts
he’s parting it out
The M140i hasn't got heated seat. Oh no! Come on BMW
You need to fully code it OUUTTTT
Do you Notify the insurance of all the models you do on your cars 🚘
What's the intro song?
The coolant drinking issue isn’t ‘normal’ per say. Its something to do with the thermostat housing from what I remember
All B58 engine's use coolant... Mine included
explore the idea of wrapping it???
Can you show us the door lights in the dark ?
Hi mate do you have snap I have a question about the 118i b38 engine I know you use to have one mate
How much is your insurance as your only 19 and what policy is it
Great car and great vid bro! Discovered your channel a couple weeks back and it’s awesome!🔥👍
But sick video keep smashing it love the car too
How much was your insurance on this if you don't mind me asking
Yeah i want to get one
Obviously I'm not brett but for some context im 20, live in a nice area with a pre lci m135i and im paying £835 with 3 yrs no claims.
Its £100 more than my 1.6 fiesta was, it makes no sense lol
1600 for me, 19 on a 140 17 plate. Postcode lottery really
Cartoon my ride, can you do a framed picture of me on top of a dog? Asking for a friend
Shouldn’t really use coolant at all??
A few people have said that they do that’s all 😀
@@BrettBarnesYT hmm keep an eye on that mate..
Yeah not mine personally but a few people I know mentioned it 😊
They shouldn’t, but most seem too. It’s hardly any, around 100ml in last 3 months. I think mine drops between max & min & stays there.
See you driving up Treverbyn Road about 30 mins go, I was in my new black m135i
Yeah I saw you too haha! Mate it looked so nice!!!!
Message me on Instagram mate!
@@BrettBarnesYT I don't use Instagram only Facebook
Ah okay! Be nice to meet up maybe 🤔. You’re car looked lush
@@BrettBarnesYTYeah the car looks sick all black ,i was planning to get a 335d touring in August but found that car on facebook and I had to have it. if you want too meet up, this week is best for me because I'm back to work next Monday
What about a sick Audio upgrade .?
Where I can find those brilliant door lock covers for my bmw116??Here in Greece no shops selling those.
Try on AliExpress
@@SigmaDeltaGr thank you but I try already and the order can be done only with credit card that I dont have
Yes!!!!
I promised myself no more spending money on needless car mods. I clicked the slinkmods link and now I’m £130 down 😂
Phahahah!! 😂😂 What did you buy?
Congrats how do manage to pay the insurance on that beast do you invest in the stock market? Etc.
They aren't too expensive to insure if your lucky enough to live in a good area, im £835 a year on a pre lci m135i
I'm 20
i’m so happy for you 😤😤😤😍
Going to be 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Take it to wrench studios they'll sort you out
Please man, now put on some different exhaust tips😍
Good video sponsor if I do say so myself
Yeah they are amazing
🔥🙌🏽
Get to motech m8 stance kit and maxton
Yeerr boii 👌👌👌
Sharp knife ! or a very fine flat bladed screwdriver. tiny engineers type
Bleddy ansome car mate
Thanks mate!!
mint video lad, maybe turn your exposure down
give your bank account a rest!
Lets goo
One of the best looking and best sounding cars, also one of the greatest engines! Can't wait for more mods on this absolute weapon of a car👍👍
Still trying to work out how you have insured an m140 I'm 36 and insurance company are still laughing at me for getting a quote 🤷
You must have a terrible record tbh. Do you have any No claim bonuses? Have you been involved in many accidents?
Its definitely something on your end, m140s should be under 400 a year easy for someone your age with a clean record.
@@tomventers exactly
what ever u do to ur car ,i will too when I get my first car
Love the videos Brett
Thanks Sam
Are you selling your 8.8 screen from your old BMW?
