    this UA-cam channels all over the place, you own a 435i, talk about an m140 then have 330d in your name

      Well I was going to originally going to buy a M140 the majority of the cars on the channel are 330ds and when I started the channel I owned a 330d would you like me to change the channel name for you

      There's a lesson for all of us. Don't call your business or channel something that limits what you can pivot to in future 😅

    53 yr of boy racer here with a well specced 140i. Owned M2 OG and Competition, E46 M3’s and been using a 911 (Gen 2 997) recently. Each time I get in the 140 and drive it, I can’t stop smiling. You’ve still got a cracking car there and it’s definitely the better looking shape over the 1 Series F platform but the B58 is something else as an engine.

    I had an M140i stage 2, unless youve got the budget to upgrade all the suspension and wack an LSD in it theyre a sloppy car. Basically a 118i platform with a big engine. Very fun but not forgiving if you get it wrong. Plus insurance is a killer now, all the 19 year old chavs have got hold of em, modify them up to high heaven then crash them. Im glad i sold mine when i did prices have shit themselves recently with them.

      @330dfam Yeah mate more grown up, if you really wanted a B58 then I'd look at 440/540i even 340i touring as the prices on those tend to keep the kiddies away haha.

      Haha yeah boys and toys my mapped 30d was plenty I do get the whole 35d thing tho for some reason I’ve never been drawn to them maybe my mind will change in the future as they are a great all round car but so is the 30d at a fraction of the price

    435i was a good choice mate, I’d definitely say e series 330d daily m57 does the miles, and an M series, that’s what I want to swap lizs for or a x3m, you could always buy lizs e92 330d, most of the work is done 🤔😎👍🏻

    Got an m140 its fine in the rain but if you push it, itll spin, stage 1 pushing 430 bhp but its not without fault, its definitely not great around corners but there arent many cars thatll beat you 20-70 in a straight, looks wise the 140 stock looks too undertstated needs a new diffuser and new tips, if i was you though get a full fat M, ive had a 140 for 2 years now and I'm in two minds do i drop 4k on handling mods or use that money ontop of car value and go for an RS or M car

    Look at 340i m8 same lovely b58 engine but a more spacious refined car than the 1 series
    Or even a 530d or 535 or even a g series 340i or 340d only issue with g series you are then into f80 m3 money,so you might as well buy a m3 or m4 comp

    • @BMWFAMuk
      @BMWFAMuk  Місяць тому +1
