Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Recently, we enlisted the help of our good friend Tom (aka TGE TV) to find out if the new 2020 BMW M135i 2l 4 cylinder with xDrive has what it takes to school the 2019 BMW M140i 3l 6 cylinder on a damp track.
We challenged them head-to-head in the ultimate BMW 1 Series drag race, by doing a quarter mile drag sprint, a rolling sprint and also a brake test! Which car will come out on top? Watch on to find out!

So the older generation is faster at the drag race, destroys the new at the rolling races, has better brake perfomance and sounds nicer. So well done BMW, you did a great job:D
Old e60 m5 is still the fastest m5
@@Ap-gk4rs fastest in wich way ?
I sincerely hope that BMW release a new 140i and don’t make it look like a 5 year olds play room
@@Yayane_ in terms of topspeed
Ap247 Absolutely not.
Please re film in the dry and the 140 will be further ahead in every test.
Its a leasing company. They don't want to show us the M140i jumping up and down over the focus - sorry M135i they can lease to you.
@@siraff4461 it's a mini not a focus👍🤣 the m140i does have terrible traction in the wet especially on the factory fit tyres.
@@John-fo9jy Mini, focus, s3, golf - who knows or cares (I get the point that its basically a countryman under the frock)? Its the most generic hatch BMW have ever made. The M140i has poor wet traction but I'd take that any day over the yawn fest the M135i has become.
I had the old one and it was a brilliant laugh. Took the new one out and it could be any other haldex 4wd 2.0t hatch - and there are loads of them.
@@siraff4461 I've got an m140i says it all really 👍
@@John-fo9jy I can't see me trading my M140i in anytime soon for a new MINI, sorry M135i....
M140i every time. Have BMW made a fatal error with this new 1 series? I say yes. It’s compromised.
Murray Sampson they’ve lost sight of their principles. The size and content of their range tells you that, these days they’re going for quantity.
So compromised it'll double the sales? Possibly.
@@SampleTracks2224 Not many people call Ferrari's rubbish but they seem not to sell in bulk.
It might double sales but only because there are enough people who want the image more than what it feels like.
Murray Sampson I have a feeling BMW will make a faster version of the new 1 series and they’ll call it the M140i
@@SampleTracks2224 See my above comment.
Si Raff +1
So the new one is slower, looks far worse, only has a crappy 4 cylinder engine and on top of that costs more? Good job BMW. *slow clap*
xXAlmdudlerXx and it’s FWD
@@kevindt1350 its AWD lol
Sir Wankalot FWD Platform but the new AWD will never drive as great as an RWD Platform AWD because in the new AWD most of the Power is going to the Front-Wheels
Manuel. sch So Audi were wrong to go AWD in the rallies years ago - you know.......all those rallies that they won against rwd cars?
@@user-xh3wr1do7k No, because years ago audi had a rear wheel drive based AWD that means that a bigger part of the power goes to the rear wheels
“I think he stopped before me” there is *clearly* a HUGE difference
🙈just a bit 🤣
Leaseloco loved the video btw. Already a big fan of Tom and I can see myself watching these type of videos.
Haha, even on a soaking wet track the M140 wins, the rolling race show how much better it is over the M135. Gota feel sorry for the M135 fan boys, The B58 makes the M140 a proper weapon 💥
Relentless Pursuit both great cars , m140 is a lot fast mid range always going to be with that B58
@@MotechPerformance would love to see on dry track to see if the gap was even bigger, suspect it will be!
Relentless Pursuit m145 vs m140 that’s the one want to see next , remember the m135i is not to replace the m140 , that’s coming soon
@@MotechPerformance interested to see if they actually do so, anyone considering the 135 should hold off and see what happens. Sure is a crowded sector of the market
Motech Performance But how much is the potential new M145i going to cost? The new M135i is already more expensive than the old M140i!
There's no replacement for displacement
charltonnel there is, but not in this car.
Nice vid but stop copying carwow be more original and sound editing needs improving not hating just stating the obvious!! 👏
Credit where credit's due, they do have a very good format that works for both them and plenty of other content producers across UA-cam and TV - if it isn't broke...
On that note, that's exactly why our take on it is very much Old vs New, head-to-head drag racing - have the manufacturers improved on the older car or missed the mark?
Would you like to see us produce more content like this or would you prefer to see something else?
@@Leaseloco the Content was good but just put your own flavor to it own it dont just copy another platform if its doing well, shows a lack of creativity which I'm sure that's not the case but you both seem to have fun doing it which is the important thing at the end of the day keep it up boys 👍
It's so sickening to have people who criticize without providing alternatives, it's called stupidity, Leaseloco, you have done this comparison in the best way possible, there is no better way that you would have done this, it's not even about having fun doing, it's pinned down to doing it in the best formula which is what you guys have done, big up forget this autistic loser.. Adding flare, what stupid flare here...
@@duffydon1741 it's called creative criticism and freedom of speech!! Plus when did I say it was a bad vid and for you to jump to Insulting someone you dont even know just shows the calibre and childish keyboard worrier you are does your parents even know your online little dude I really feel sorry for you!!
@@matthewdickenson142 you're still going about your lameness, creative criticism is providing solutions to what you see as a 'problem' I know how it feels to be outsmarted by a kid, stop criticizing if you don't have solutions, it looks stupid on you Mr big baby, if you don't have solutions, shut up and uphold the good work that other people do... I know the truth hurts..
M140i is such a great car, it will take something special for me to change mine
I went from the a45amg 2015, to a m140i 2018, the car is miles ahead, interior is better, sound is better (with downpipe) , rear wheel is 1000x more fun, rolling you can destroy most cars even cars out of its league, try getting Bootmod3 , you will gap a m4 by 10 car lengths haha
Interesting! Would like to see the same race on a dry track. Recon in those circumstances the m140 would leave it for dead
M135i is a great car, perfect for us UK folk too with that 4wd... but will never replace the M140i!
the old m140i has 4wd too!
japan for ever Youre right! But in the UK we only get the Rwd variant
japan for ever U.K only got the RWD which explains why there is always at least 5 a week on copart😂. Didn’t even know the 140 was xdrive else where until now?
gingerbread man Idk about the Uk market wise but in europe i did have a m140i Xdrive and if you search it up too you can confirm that it exist
The market is saturated with 2ltr awd 4 pots, the usp was the engine and rwd....
Don’t forget that the 140i being RWD only was just a UK thing. In Europe XDrive was an option, and it was actual XDrive, not some lame FWD biased SUV rubbish badged as such.
I’m amazed the new M135 did as well as it did. My guess was the weather because I have the old M140 and it’s ballistic. Off the line I’m not interested really, just feels punishing, but rolling acceleration is proper satisfying. Looks better too imo.
Well??? Maybe we've watched 2 different videos lol😂
That’s a fair result. The 135i did fairly well considering the power/torque deficit. It should have surprised no one. I still think both cars are mint and I can’t wait to get hold of my M135i. It’s easily going to be the better car for me to live with. (If I spent my days drag racing then I’d definitely by a 140!). Good vid 👍🏻👍🏻
Andy Allen I couldn’t agree more. My best mate has a 140, and I love it. Bùt.....I want a performance car under all circumstances and with a lovely modern interior. And for me that’s the M135i. 15 years ago I would drive the 140, no doubt. But I’m becoming a bit of an old fart 💨 😜 My M135i is coming first week of may, can’t wait.
this is exactly the reason why im keeping my stage 2 M235 6MT :D
Definitely prefer M140i to M135i, however, apart from the performance, M135i gives you an upgrade on infotainment system and interior design. In terms of the shooting style, it reminds me of carwow.😄
As a life long BMW driver, this type of cost cutting is a slap in the customer base's face..and it started with the E90 and e81...both had me going back to the e46 on two seperate occasions
here in europe we got the ///M140i A Xdrive who would have smashed your small m135i to center of earth ...i even do not talk about the music of the B58 compared to the noise of the 4 pot...nice vlog thanks
And yet, your car is the dead one. That's gotta suck.
@@SampleTracks2224 Hos is it dead?
I collected my new m135i this week, replacing my 2017 m140i(which I loved). I initially did not like the look of the new model, but in truth it looks so much better is person (plus pack is a must for larger alloys) and after sitting both side by side, I think the new model looks much better. The photos and videos do not do the new model any justice.
In terms of comparison, the m140i is better if you like to spend your weekends going as fast as you can in a straight line. The m135i wins in every other aspect, albeit without the 6 cylinder sound.
The interior in vastly superior in terms of tech and quality of components. I did not realise how dated the m140i felt until I sat in the m135i. The driving position is much better and general feel is great. Being quite tall(6ft3) I find the new car much comfier and a lot more spacious.
The m135i performance is superb, and does not leave me wanting for the m140i, especially in the miserable Scottish weather where I can now plant the right foot in the knowledge that I will go forward. Quickly.
If you have not made your mind up on this car then go for a test drive, you will not be disappointed!
Ok wait till your car is 5 years old and the shine is gone..then come back here and compare them
Each to there own pal, but I'll never replace the b58 rwd for a 20l 4pot fwd or a 4wd he'll no. Boring as feck!!!
@@jldp24 doubt I’ll have it then! Haven’t kept a car more than 3 years so far…
@@williamgrant200 agree the b58 is great. I thought the same until I drove the new model, but it changed my opinion. Would’ve kept both if I could! Totally different cars tbh.
BMW has always been my favourite and they did a very good job. Keyword "did" - past tense, they aren't doing that now. Older gens are superior in every way and actually look beautiful. The only good thing about the new M135i is the back, I can't really complain about that rear coz but other than that the car looks hideous.
Why does every body do the m135i vs the m140i ?? Do the 135 vs 135 ??
Maybe because it makes sense to compare the last LCI2 model with a brand new performance platform of a totally new model which the m135i is not, it's called common sense, that's why BMW is going to make an A45s rival (1series) which will be a proper M car churning out 400hp..i hope this will help you to think before you type..
@@duffydon1741 so why would you not put the m135i f21 up on the new m135i lighter more power and a lot better engine the f21 m135i hase 326bhp agents the 306 new model ? And i can almost promise you that the will not bring out a new m1 ?
@@acko8016 It can't be called an M1, because that was the original M car.
They are bringing out a 'new' M140i though.
Because there really isn't any difference in the performance of the N55 and the B58. Both are 3L i6's with similar torque and power. Most use the B58 (140i) because it is the newest of the two which is good for comparison.
Stage one on both would be interesting 🤔, I know 140 stage one is an absolute weapon, I can’t imagine the new 135i going past 370 ish? Being a 4pot
They don't like tuning the new 135i because the internal suffer from high temperatures and everything overheats. I think 370 is max without getting a lot of issues
@@ArcticRob didn’t know this, thanks👍
@@thatsjustme1990 no worries I didn't know either until a couple days ago
m140i looked like it was racing in a stream on the right side of the track.
How that front grill design got into production is madness
Kinda makes me smile knowing I got myself one of the last m140i's.
3 door as well in Melbourne red with oyster leather 🤣
Nice spec you have there man🙌🔥
I have the m240i with manual 6 gear. Every day this car give me goosebump.
I love the 3 door version. Instant Coupé feeling. I own a 125d F21. A shame that there won't be a 3 door version of the new one. Paradoxically the new Series 2 Gran Coupé has 4 doors. Very confusing the new BMW world.
BMW F20/21 are great looking cars
With M packet..
Carwow told a different story on the drag race in the dry with the M135i winning. Also brakes are better in the M135i. The only area the M140i succeeds is mid range torque
Hey, hope you enjoyed the video. That's interesting, it just shows that depending on the conditions on the day that each car has its own strengths and both are very good in their own right (the same goes for the drivers 🤣).
I would also say the M140 wins on fun as well being rear wheel drive.
Puts a great big smile on my face going sideways out onto a road!
And sound, and looks with a 3-door option, and driver involvement with a manual gearbox option...
dungareesareforfools not sure about looks of the old 1 series but I guess that is subjective but sound definitely the old one takes it.
The 140i, with it's straight six, is classy. The sound is best in the class, the 135 instead is noisy
The m140i side looks a lot wetter as well definitely more spray
Great Vídeo !! I Love my M140i. 👍👏
Haha TGE‘s Jeremy Clarkson „Poweerrrrrr“ Scream at 3:00 😂
The quality of the video is very impressive. It’s up there with car wow
Should have brought the M140i xdrive to the uk
Would have stolen so many S3/Golf R/A45 sales if they did, pity BMW weren't braver when they released it by offering the Xdrive in UK
Robinho's Left Foot we need x drive in the uk with our bad weather😂
@@R53.charlie Damn right. When people go on about not needing 4wd in UK as not much snow, it is nothing to do with snow, but putting the power down in bad weather (rainy weather) safely
Robinho's Left Foot yeah, I have an m2 and it’s fun in the wet, but it’s not my daily so it’s only used to have fun, it’s not practical😂
@@R53.charlie 👍
Shouldn't they be comparing it to the original M135i rather than M140i?
It’s ugly, slower and bad in braking compared to the old one! Please #BMW explain me why I should buy “The 1” (135i) instead of the “The Real 1” (140i).. #make1seriesgreatagain
A great video. But it compares apples with oranges. I come from Germany and drive the BMW 140i xDrive. Unfortunately, it wasn't available in the UK. Traction is much better on wet roads than the M140i with rear-wheel drive🤓
Why does that M135i actually look nice. it's lowered and just has a better stance.
I cant help but belive buying an m140 or 35i is a good investment now (providing you dont do 10- 15,000 a year for a few years) literally is no other car of this past decade like them.
Glad I bought the right car :-)) M140i in Estoril Blue...
BMW The ultimate driving machine, in a straight line!!!!.
Nice job, BMW. The newer 1 series generation is a Golf now. That´s why I walked away from you.
Very emotional
Well done BMW you win the award for fookin the 1 series. So much for progress.
Nothing beats a straight six bmw engine
‘I think he stopped before me’...... he’s miles behind 😂
Old BMW M140i i6 Twin Turbo, 335hp, Top Speed 270KM/H
New BMW M135i i4, 304hp, Top Speed 250KM/H
It is crazy model. No development as Toyota MR2. Old is better than new model.
The only advantage of the new one is better interior packaging but in every other aspect the old one is the better car. I say buy one now whilst there still cheap and hang on to it they will become collectible, last of a breed!
having driven the 2 series coupe vs owning a 1 series hatch rwd, lemme tell ya ditch the 1 it doesnt turn at all it understeers
Just came from the Joe Achilles video talking about the new M135i and potentially racing the older M140i. Someone needs to send this to him
m140i has 100% been tuned. what a car.
Why are fanboys in the comments moaning. The new m135i was never really supposed to replace the 140i.
And the race really should be racing against the old m135i I think personally for an apples to apples test
Why is it drawn at the driver hitting the line? Yet the front bumpers are what are lines up at the start?
Let's see the i140 vs A45s on your drag race pls
A great review! But you should have compared the M140i xDrive (unfortunately not available in the UK) with the "neutered" new M135i xDrive.🤓
Be interesting to see it against the old 135i. The new 140i will be quicker. BMW will argue that the old 140i is a higher model than 135i
The old n55 m135i stock is probably the better one to test against.
There's a test on UA-cam (in the dry) the old one won.
Such a no brainer its beyond me why anyone would chose a new 1/2 series over the 1/240i
I absolutely argue with that guy in the 140i🔥🔥 The new 1 Series is trash😐
Great vid ..!
Both cars are running OPF back exhausts no other tuning mods 👍
Really I don't understand that obsession with the torque figure. What always matter is power; and of course not only the max. value but the instant power over rpm.
Nice comparison anyway. As owner of a 140i manual I can only say good words of the car.
Wow the Kia did a good job!
As an m140i xDrive owner, can anyone give me a valid point to swap my car with this one? Gosh, I hope BMW has something better on the radar for the 1series.
I LOVE BMW
The new BMW 135i is a joke😂
M135i xdrive has better infotainment system, better interior, better handling in snow, better fuel consumption, maybe a bit more practical, still has PLENTY of power and it can be more family-friendly. For me, F40 is the winner
Do you think old m135i would beat this new m135i?
I’m pretty sure BMW was trying to make the F40 quicker or whatever, otherwise they would have given it more power and they know how to do it! They wanted to make a more grownup car where you can still have some fun, and that worked.
So I’m still surprised that people actually compare them only for their performances 😅 since it’s not comparable at all…
Thank you bmw. For a giving us a new car. That looks worst than the old one, handles worst, has a smaller engine, is less exciting and all round not as good. Thank you for this development it just shows what’s coming
Overall I still really love the new bmw m135i! I just wish bmw sells it here in North America, because I would really love to buy the new bmw m135i!
Would like to see two xdrive instead of just the 135i.
You have to look at tyres to. Same brand?
BMW really need to up the game on the M135i going backwards is bad, very bad it’s killing sales too
BMW seriously cocked up the 1 series M. Bring back the M140i with option of RWD and 4WD and you'll sell a shed load!
The way the M135i drive is Holding the steering cannot be healthy.. not sure in he is driving corners like this aswell 😂
Nice comparison, a 400hp 1 series is on the way, which will be an ///M and not the m..
Bro his north face coat is so dope
The weather wouldn't have made a difference if you used an x-drive f20
Wich Springs are ind the M135i F40 ? Einfach PRO Kit ?? Thank you for answer
Just made my mind up the m140i it is
True these new bmw grills look silly.
Well it gives them a sort of "African vibe" 😁
@@JeanV1986 honestly don't want a African vibe when I'm spending a lot of money. The old M2 looks really gorgeous, these new ones are ugly. I'm getting a AMG next. These guys are playing
@@donwolf9490 oh I completely agree, I was just trying to be funny 😋
Mpho Sechai cla45 the only way bro , best merc for the price
@@bwmim9709 true very true. But the prices in South Africa are heavily marked up. What you get in America for $60 000 we get about 20 to 30 000 more for. The CLA in SA is about $90 000
Very nice video. I see you haven’t learnt anything from Jeremy Clarkson.
Clean sweep and no progress for the 1series
I want the paddle shifters in the M140. Where can I get them?
If both of these had a stage one re map the gap would be much larger
Great video lads, great info but what’s with the two caterpillars sorry eye brows 🤷.
2:34 for the race
The newer car being slower and having cheaper handling parts is sadly the case with most car brands today.
The new one should be named ‚M120i Active Tourer‘ 😄
just listen to the engine sound difference in the cockpit LOL
Seit wann hat der M140i nur 450 NM? Kein einziger.... Alle streuen heftig nach oben
When i imagine an m140i owner. He is exactly it.
The interior in the 140i is shabby compared to the 135i
Great stuff. Try to do tests in the dry.
The fact that if someone thinks the M135I F40 is slower than the M140i, yes you are correct, that's why it is called M135i. They are not comparable. WTF
The F40 is disappointing.
But the most embarrassing part is the xDrive performance.
Even the AWD can't patch up the conceptional backstep BMW made with the new FWD chassis.
And this was in wet conditions! If it's dry, the F20 will destroy the F40.
How is this progress?
All wheel drive vs two wheel drive and less than 30bhp between them? ....... apparently.
Is it possible for just anyone to rent a strip like this to do a drag race or test you max speeds in the UK ?
Why didn‘t they take the M140i with XDrive?
I currently own a m140i and the last few days it's been raining I have Audi s3 and Golf r all the time leaving me for dead.
What's the point of all that power if it can't be put down on the road.
BMW have had to make a change and the m135i is the result, when your rivals are doing it differently, better and selling more trying to out do them with an outdated 6 pot rwd car is just ridiculous
You could have gone M140 as xdrive version if your preference is more to put power down always and less to enjoy the RWD dynamics
