Had mine a month, it still amazes me. One minute and comfortable cruiser happy to cruise at 70mph at 2000rpm for mile after mile, the next a hooligan that wants to rip your face off if your dare turn that traction control off in less than perfect conditions. Love it

Real shame with the new 1 series, this is going to be a classic and start to appreciate i reckon, there couldn’t be a better time to buy it. The m140i really is an excellent purchase.

You have captured the best things about this car! A totally understated performance car. Future classic for sure! Look after them people! Only way is up on these!
Had one for the past 3 months now, absolutely love it to bits, had loads of BMW's now and this is the best by far, never bores me, a real drivers car and last of it's kind, definitely a keeper for the future.

You really shouldn't be sitting so far back with your arms virtually straight. Either adjust the wheel by pulling it closer to you, or move the seat closer, or back rest more upright. You have much better control of the car with your arms bent, as any professional driver will tell you.

Remaps just put unnecessary stress on the engine parts and can ultimately ruin what is, a fabulous car. Plus the M140i is now becoming even more sought after.....

Looking to upgrade my daily in the next coming months and after weighing up the options it’s came down to the M140i or S3 both have pros and cons but still undecided

The last of its kind was the f20 n55 m135i they put all the noise reductions on the f21
Yes I've heard this..
Jus Killz f20 is 5 door f21 is 3 door both have same engine
I'm wondering if theses will go up in value due to the current 1 series looks like shit . There is a trade in with a 140i at work lol tempted now 🤣🤔

Hi Tim how much does the vehicle costs currently?

C8UER with all that horsepower, did it really need to be remapped? It’s twitchy enough with 340bhp! Awesome car though and am a proud owner!
I think its more a case of not falling out of love with the car...some peeps do a remap so they fall in love with the car again...
Remaps just put unnecessary stress on the engine parts and can ultimately ruin what is, a fabulous car. Plus the M140i is now becoming even more sought after.....
