    I have a 2003 SLK 320 which I bought off lease and was still under warranty. The 320 has about 25 extra horsepower and more torque on a nice wide band. It has a 6 speed manual with a reasonably light clutch which makes it lots of fun. I store it in the winter because of all the salt we use in Toronto. It only has 140,000 km, so only nicely broken in. Before Covid I did a road trip from Toronto to Vancouver. 13,000 km altogether with some fun side trips. I'm 79 and will keep it as long as I can still get in and out of it.

    I bought a 68 plate Sport (mint) as a retirement present to myself with 80k on the clock for £30k. I had a MAJOR service which cost £2k and replaced all the tyres. I only intend to do about 2500 miles per annum, so what I spend on Insurance(£1200), I will save on fuel. Bought a Farraday pouch and a steering lock (£150 combined). Not worried about depreciation as this will see me out. I have a £500 Slush Fund set aside for any future issues and looking forward to pulling into my Golf Club with the car of my dreams.

  • @hatakanubis

    I have the 3.5 v6 and surprisingly not that bad on fuel. Highway driving on cruise control can deliver 40 mpg. The prestige model has a better spec than the one reviewed with full leather and 300 bhp power output. Ref the infotainment system, you can buy an aux box which replaces the CD input on the back of the manufacturers stereo. This allows you to install a dashboard mount Android auto / car play head unit. Fyi, don't pull the standard unit as there are hidden menus with dashboard and engine telemetry. Download google translate and use your smart phone camera to translate the buttons. One thing I would recommend is have an exhaust resonator delete ( 3 resonators in total) as it changes the car from being almost EV like to having a lovely sporty mid-range growl that isn't over powering. Sadly, there are no tuning options in the UK due to the lack of numbers and relative obscurity as the transmission could benefit from having a slightly more aggressive torque converter profile, especially between 2 - 3,000 rpms. I bought the car for £3,000 with 80k miles on a 2008 plate and spent around £2k on servicing (parts plus labour which included the cambelt / water pump kit). The Android Auto head unit and aux box cost £160. The resonator delete was £210 but money well spent. A real plus as per the reviewed vehicle is the build quality and solid feel very much out classes any Euro version of a people carrier. Everything feels very solidly built and no light weight at just under 2 tonnes. Parts / service items were sourced through Torque GT in Plymouth who used a combination of Honda UK and ordering from Japan. Even the Japanese parts were ordered and received within 4 weeks. This sounds like a long time but so long as you do a regular maintenance schedule and proactively deal with problems, the delays shouldn't significantly impact your motoring experience.

    • @hatakanubis
      @hatakanubis Місяць тому

      Fyi, avoid the 2.4 engine as you get significantly less power and subsequently, fuel economy is no better than the 3.5 v6. The last JDM I had was a Subaru turbo and whilst this is no Subaru as far as performance is concerned, it gets off the line quite nicely. My Elysion is also on coilovers which makes it handle surprisingly well for what is a barge like vehicle. Brakes also perform pretty well considering the weight they have to stop. Best feedback I have had so far is 'the fastest hearse in the west' or 'is that a pimped up Uber?' :)'

    I just got a 39,000 mile m140i. The condition looks good but I feel sad because its not stock or rather I'm told it wasn't stock and worried the car has been reved too much or maybe even tracked? Not sure... will never know but it drives fine to me. Am I just too worried? It sounds like the remapped gearbox with xhp and potentially ecu remap but it looks stock now. It has a cobra exhaust. Will it be fine for the future? :( Thanks

    • @GregandCraigsGarage
      @GregandCraigsGarage 2 місяці тому

      You can still have a fine modified car if it’s been cared for, the engine in the m140 is fairly robust to say the least and if done properly and maintained well you’re off to a good start, if you’re worried and once over by a local bmw specialist would be a good idea for peace of mind. No one can guarantee anything for trouble free motoring but these cars are notoriously reliable really so if it’s been done to a good standard then you’ve got every chance of being fine with it. I’d have it checked as mentioned before for peace of mind 👍

    Great video. Been looking to buying a m140. Already got a bmw 118d. Mapped and I love it. But could be time to spoil myself. Had passing in the family and you only live once.

      Sorry to hear that, best wishes to you. If you are in a position to spoil yourself then go for it if it doesn’t cost you a good night sleep! The m140 is a fantastic car! I’d recommend giving one a try 😉 Thanks for watching and for the comments. Chin up and best of luck my friend 🙏

    The SLK has aged so much better than all it’s rivals. Still looks beautiful after all these years. Comes in so many variations also. 200 230 320 and the 32 AMG, all in either manual or automatic. Miles ahead of the opposition. A true thoroughbred.

    I would definitely change engine oil sooner than 16,000 miles. More like 10,000 kms! Also, get the transmission serviced, at least at 100,000 kms, and some would suggest even more often. ZF recommend more often. Engine oil becomes diluted with diesel and can lead to bearing failure. Just change the oil every 10,000 kms.

    Things are the same on 28th April 2024. For a 2016 RR Sport it seems to be 1.1k, so expensive but still doable and there were a lot in the 1k to 1.3k, for a quote that is " car kept on the drive, full NCD no tracker or dash cam, and just outside London but still inside the M25".

    Thanks for this review. You have raised some good points. I note the issue about altering your insurance specification. All insurance companies share data, therefore if you raise a risk with one company and then delete to another, it is highly probable that will be highlighted. I own a 23 Sport D350. Just had my renewal at £758. That is with Admiral, living in West Wales. My second JLR, first was a 69 plate Velar p300 HSE. Contrary to most posted comments I have enjoyed trouble free driving for nearly 5 years. Only issues have been security and other minor recalls. My previous experiences with BMW and Mini have NOT been so good.😮

      Thanks a lot, yeh good point. To be honest they are surprisingly good, 40mpg on a steady run is achievable, round town mid 20’s. Rest depends on your right foot 😁

    Jesus Christ everywhere I look there’s a dead ting m140i video on UA-cam 😅😂😂 Everyone is obsessed with them who can’t afford a proper M car or an rs3 or Mercedes etc. They are good for getting power out of them but they are just a cheap clapped out 1 series with a big engine. A 17 year old on minimum wage could afford 1. 😂🤣

    • @GregandCraigsGarage

      I think the whole point is that they are affordable and bang for buck one of the best cars for that. The whole reason to buy one is because you can’t afford more expensive cars and they fulfil a very good purpose. Each to their own. I’d certainly be happy with one if I was 17! Like them or not, they are a very good car “clapped out” is a little strong there mate 😂
