I have an 2018 Shadow Edition with OPF. I have a 2016 Standard Version without OPF. Installed a BM3 tune to my 2018 model and it doesn't sound to bad compared to the 2016.
Hi Nathan, brilliant review btw😁! I just want to know where you got your rear diffuser from as I want to change mine asap because it looks abit bland at the moment hahaha. Thanks 🙏🏽
You should definitely do that, that’s coming from a C63 owner too! The M140i is all the car you’ll ever need really, does everything with sublime excellence!
I agree with you buddy - like yourself weve got a c63 (507 edition) and got a 140 about w years ago - going from the c63 to the 140 the handling scares me 🤣
I couldn’t give you an answer 100%, best bet is to look through both canards like I did in this video, I’m sure they’d have carried the same process over to the 2 series as well.
I’m looking to buy one of these and I only do 8 miles a day so with the current fuel prices I don’t think it will be that bad, any thoughts and nice vid 👍🏼
Thank you! The M140i is a brilliant daily and if you’re only doing 8 miles a day, then it won’t break the bank either, as they’re reasonably efficient!
@@MikeyA467 That’s amazing range, what driving do you do? The M140i typically has given me low 30’s in the time I’ve had with it, but can get mid 40’s with long runs at 70mph.
@@SamA-cc6km The 1 series is an extremely easy car to live with, but with it being RWD, there’s always an element of it snapping out on greasy conditions if you drive it with a bit of enthusiasm. It’s a very powerful car and can be a little sketchy when driven hard, especially on unsettling roads. It all depends on your driving style, if you’re a sensible driver then I don’t see why not. But if you’re not the most confident, then I would advise getting a smaller engine version before trying one of these. In short, I’d probably try something with a smaller engine first, unless you are 100% confident in your car control.

Looking to pick one up sometime soon too. One of the best hot hatch out there.
It’s an excellent car, does nearly everything brilliantly! A few handling modifications and you couldn’t ask more a better car!

Thank you Zack! This is called the Rieger Diffuser in gloss black, it’s the best looking one in my opinion! : )

Wanted one of these for about 5 years.. finally think it’s time to trade the old seat Leon in

507 edition, nice one! I’m the same really with my partner having an M140i!
Tnx for great differentiation between opf and non opf version. Do you know if same rule applys for series 2?

I’ve got a 2019 M140i stage 1 gearbox, stage 1 engine and I’m getting 435 miles in a full tank of V-Power

i don even get 340miles in a 118i 3pot 1.5. How are u getting 435 in an engine double the size. help@@MikeyA467
If your worried about fuel, I wouldn’t bother getting one mate. Let me tell you they are not as cheap as people are making out.
good for first time drivers?

Just got mine about a week ago with 24k on the clock for just under 20k. Prices are quite weird atm.
What the hell, that’s so cheap. I got a M140i ZF8 34K and laid 21500
That’s super cheap! Is yours an LCI2? Even if it isn’t, that’s still incredible value for money!
@@NathanMannin mine is a 68 plate so possibly lci2 not sure
@@NathanMannin Just to update mine is an LCI2
@@EditCrazeEdit When did you purchase it?
FYA - If you don’t peal those door sill stickers off they deteriorate and discolour the sills behind them.
Thank you, it wasn’t my or something I would personally do either.
Lovely review 👌
Are you related to boris Johnson by any chance? 😂
What makes you think that? 😆 Is it the blonde hair?
@@NathanMannin Nahh it’s just some words and phrases you was saying, I could picture Boris on the news, no offence lad 😅
@@JP2_ I find it hilarious, no offence taken! 😉 Don’t worry, I won’t be enforcing any lockdowns 😆
45 to the gallon no way
Yes way!
@@NathanMannin I have got 1, no how much fuel they use
@@LockeM140 We also have one, we know how much fuel it uses
@@LockeM140 I've had 45 out of mine on a 170 mile trip on the motorway, average speed of 67mph. My average everyday is around 29 mpg.
