I bought this cheap BMW M140i from auction and bought a BMW M2 front end for it as it was missing alot of parts. The front end bolted on no problem but i couldn't help but think it made the rear of the car look strange being that the BMW M2 is wider at the rear. But in the last video i began to wrap the whole car Laguna Blue and it started to look "more normal" What do you guys think?

Needs black wheels
I think you should put bmw wheel caps on the rims🙌🏽
@@danielalgie6299 Most defo doesnt need black wheels
mat what about us in south africa coz we want to enter to competition n its only based on uk 😢😢😢😢
Can’t believe how good that colour looks on it mate, the car looks incredible ❤️🔥
thanks bro!
Man, I really love your work and passion! Thank you for bringing us such great and genuine content on every video! You are very talented, keep pushing! We are here, waiting for the next video! Much love!
Please no gold/bronze wheels for this! 😂Black will look 🔥
Silver it is 😂✌️
Black would look dope on the wheels
@@MatArmstrongbmx white will look sickkk
Black is awful for wheels. It never shows the design off properly. Just looks like black holes in the corner of the car.
Best youtuber at the moment so consistent and hard working :)
It’s another video that’s full of enthusiasm and positive vibes. Apart from the car looking very unique and individual, it’s Matts energy that makes me want to watch more and more. I am so glad that Matt and Hannah are doing what they love and making interesting and creative content. I’m probably not the only one feeling this but Matt motivates me to want to do something, or just anything at all that is positive. A truly wonderful young man with an extra ordinary talent. Good luck and best wishes 💪👍🏼❤️
That is an impressive wrap, even more so considering you're self taught. The colour is amazing. Really good job
I'm from Australia,you people are so lucky to have BMW wheels growing in the English countryside,we only have dead Roo's, love your work Matt
Okay but imagine if the wheels were black! 😱
Brooo I was waiting for someone to say it with chest
It would be shit
@@guffguffington2565 Yeah I just said that to troll lol
Black on wheels is overrated honestly 😮😮
Im a student in college currently and just saw your life story video. its truly reassuring to see a living example of the BRRR method and how it has helped you. Thank you so much for your content
Matt jus makes any build work regardless the colour model his jus a beast
Just can’t believe you got this car looking so awesome in two weeks considering the state it was in when you had it delivered!.
Well done Matt whatever rewards you receive rest easy as you’ve certainly worked your ass off for it.
Congrats complete respect and as always looking forward for the next video.👍
Took him longer than 2 weeks
I'll admit I wasn't a fan of the color when you 1st started wrapping the car but now that I see it done I love it
Like morning after pizza!
@@gregoryuk yes
Love the color combination. Rims look “smashing”, as you say, I would not do black, looks great as is. And the spoilers are awesome.
For a ‘non pro’ you got friggin skills! Well done!!! And yes… black wheels are needed!
black wheels are chavvy
White wheels
@@154stephen yeah I also thought white wheels would work.
@@trzarector I thought they would go with the bars and the BMW badge ... as the BMW logo is the blue and white.
Great job mate! The OCD in me really thinks you should get rid of the M2 badge on the grill!
this is by far my fave build youve done so far matt! looks and sounds mega! super jealous!!
The car looks great Mat and like you have said you are self taught so it is a cracking job/colour. Not many people take on these big re-build and mod jobs so full respect to you.
thank you for this build, this what the youtube car world needed!
Love what you do Mat! I so look forward to see new videos and discovering ones I've not yet seen. Thank you for providing us with clean entertaining and informative videos on UA-cam.
Looks amazing. Needs custom M1 badges on the wings and front to replace the m2 badges
M1 is a completely different car altogether...
i feel like it just needs the m badge no number
M1 doesn’t exist is was called the 1M
M1 does exist, was around in the late 70s early 80s.
no number it needs to say mat on the badge
New-ish to the channel and working my way through the back-catalogue, just watched this episode as part of the whole project play list in one go. I'm still trying to get my head around the 140i/M2 mash-up but have to say that it looks absolutely mint! Fab job by Mat, Hana & Kevin! So impressed, I ordered some Silishine to improve my engine bay! 😀
This has to be my favourite build you’ve done so far - loving your passion keep up the good work 👊
Mate been following your content from the start but not one to usually comment.
This build has been mint u are by far one the most genuine approachable and inspirational chaps out there 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
The colour looks unbelievable mate when I get a house with a garage one day I'd love to wrap a car
You’ve no chance of wrapping a car in modern day garages 😂😂😂. It’d be ok if you built a garage yourself though.
@@themayorofdipshittery3646 you dont need a garage to wrap a car ;)
You should buy black stickers to go over the blue parts of the bmw logos around the car. Its a very small change but makes a huge difference in colour matching everything. Loving the build so far!
Those grill bar thingys should deffs be white, just to make it stand out even more. awesome work!
No, BMW M cars should have black grill bars
@@QKvox talking about the support bars behind the grill bro
@@Vincenth2024 ohhhh that makes sense
I have recently found you and have subscribed because I love your work and enthusiasm. You make it look so simple that think I could do it.
But then I remember I am a fat old 70 year old that is mobility handicapped and have no technical skills😅.
So thank you for this , I can live vicariously through you.
Cheers from Canada
Love how far you’ve come Matt! 😎
I've followed this BMW since the beginning and now I look how it is !!! Noway!! Awesome!! It's a Comment from France!! Congratulation!!! Good Work! It's Always a pleasure and satisfaction to see this! Respect!
10/10 on the colour and the splitter looks superb ! Now it needs a nice tune !
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this channel. Me and 2 friends were wrapping my friend's 1 series as well, and we watched your videos along as we went. He also has a front M2 style bumper (not original), and man oh man is that a pain in the ass to wrap. But the M140i now looks stunning! I like the silver wheels, but with all the other blacked out/carbon elements, it would look better with black/graphite ones imo. Also, carbon roof and mirror caps ASAP, so they match with the splitters!
Never skip a second of your videos, I love it Mat! Well done :)
Great job Mat, I love it.I wasn't sure about the wiper delete, but once it was wrapped, the rear looked amazing.I love the colour and you wrapped it really well. Well done!!
I swear every build that you do gets better and better! I’m proud of how far you have come bro , keep at it, i’m a very early subscriber ✅👊🏽
Love this car! Was going to say wrap the bars same colour as the car but in white they look really good because from further back they match the wheels and look amazing!
This man is living the live! Working hard and it pays off very well. He’s a great inspiration for me and many other (younger) car enthousiasts!
Love the colour and even the bars behind the grill. However please do the M2 overnfenders! The front looks wider than the rear other than that I love it
Looks way better like this without the rear widening, would’ve been headache for nothing
In actual awe how nice this car acctually looks matt really is the best in the car restoration game on youtube keep up the work favourite channel on youtube hands down!!!!!
Looks so clean🔥🔥
first of all congratulations for your patient! On the other hand, I had in the past a laguna blue e46 m3 and i am not so sure if your laguna blue is exactly the same...I think your is more light
Update: I watched all the video. You agree with me😉
That car looks so bloody good! 🔥 And Kevin looks so bloody sad with the loss of his playmate😆
Nailed it, And yes those alloys are popping in silver. Created a cool one off. You do have an eye for vehicle enhancement with astute attention to detail.
MAT really brightens up my day! WHAT A GUY! Seriously impressive! I think we all aspire to be him- he’s that brilliant. THANKS MAT! 👏👏👏
Looks mad, the M2 front end was worth the effort, love the colour, the carbon and the wheels. Well done
The car looks incredible. The colour works so well. Another amazing project build. You need your own TV show with this level of finish and dedication 👏
Love it. That blue wrap does set the car off. If it was me I would wrap the M Sport colours on the front grill. I think that would look slick. 👌
It looks amazing but….. it needs the wheels going gloss black 🤣
Or mat black
The m2 boompa looks sooo good on the 1 series
Thank you Matt, You're my hero
That blue looks sick keep up ur positivity as it keeps me going and others too and also keep trying to learn things as you go along unlike other youtubers that let someone else do it.
This has to be one of my favourite projects. Well done Mat!
I literally have no words, Mat… you’ve absolutely smashed it mate. Just breathtaking. The colour is perfect. Sitting here in awe. Nice one!
Love it! I think black wheels would ruin it, the wrap colour paired with the wheels just looks sick! 👌🏻 Another top job & awesome content
💯
Mat, You’ve encouraged me to do sooo much on my e88, I tend to do almost everything by myself, the latest upgrade was 3d printed headlights and we wrapped it in bronze/copper supermatte with gold rims, it has turned out amazing! If I could just show it to You somehow. The M140i turned out amazing! I can imagine the new G series M seats inside. 🤭
Absolutely unreal Matt. Not sure how I feel about the m2 badging though 😂
Coming along nicely. 👌
Two points Mat:
1. Buy a Tacoma pickup truck. You need it!
2. Put racing stripes on the Bimmer. Red and Navy blue.
🤤 so fresh
hi friend, the installed coilovers are bilstein b16 damptronic? I'm interested in changing the suspension of my M140i with adaptive. your advice would be great
Mat I can see you hosting a uk PIMP MY RIDE show, love all your builds so far , SMASHED IT AGAIN 👍👏👌.
Love the colour, love the gloss black combo and keeping the roof black. Wheels are perfect with that colour and makes a refreshing change to black. Good choice as ever Mat.
Looking really good striking colour would be tempted to black tint rear lamps possible put yellow/amber wrap on front lamps. Wheels look good as they are!
Wow, that looks incredible! This has gotta go to some car shows, definitely the most unique looking 'M140i' I've seen! The wrap looks awesome with the wheels, I think making them black too would just be toooo much black. It definitely has that huge flared front end S3 8L vibe now, crazy road presence I bet!
The colour and wheels are just amazing. I realy love the look. I do like the colour with the red interior as well. But maybe change it for full alcantara seats.
Still wanted Yellow but have to say that looks fantastic Mat. Going to Try rattle can my rear Diffuser on my 125i MSport as you make it look easy. Lastly good choice in going for CSL style alloys on the E46👍
It's come together very nicely Matt, almost looks factory. The blue is similar to BMW'S Miisano Blue which they use on the X1 M sports.
Brilliant Job! That is the best looking wrap you have done so far! The contract of the Blue and Black really works!
Matt, I know the build is long finished and everything, but I'm watching your playlists backwards so I've only just seen this. OK, the Laguna blue is admittedly a beautiful colour, but... in my humble opinion... it's not for a hatch back. It's very bright and happy but looks too exotic for the 140i. The seat colour may look a little corny but actually it fits the car. I would have matched the wrap colour with that or some shade of red. But I know everyone's tastes are different so respect to you, mate.
I can confidently say this is THE best/cleanest M140i build I’ve ever seen!! Fair play to you💯
Build is going amazing! Love the 140i! Sadly i only have my E87 but it serves my needs :) maybe you can make the rims gunmetal grey to suit the carbon accents. I think it would go very well IMHO!
Top vid again brother 👌 in regards to the wrap being more difficult to put on than the m4 do you think it's probably cause it was quite a cheap wrap?
Mat, love watching your shows! Give yourself a pat on the back for what you are achieving! Recommended your shows to all the car fanatics, Keep up the good work mate 👍
12:46 I was not ready for that 😍😍 absolutely stunning
Be getting a few tickets for this one 👀 what a stunner this car is! Unreal job as usual Matt😄thanks for putting these videos out mate they’re seriously brilliant to watch🙂
Silver wheels look fantastic on it, I think you could add some white bits to really bring it to life and to really bring the wheels and white kidney bar out
Again Matt you’ve excelled yourself well done . You’ve obviously got lots of patience when it comes to wrapping. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Gotta love this M2 rebuild. The wrap looks stunning. Love from malaysia
Absolutely rate how you learn all of this stuff yourself. I'm 6months into PPF installing and I feel like i know 10% of it ffs
Firstly, great video, your work is excellent, can't fault that. Now I understand that not everyone will agree with what I say, for me I don't get the whole M2 front and rear bumper thing, I have a 2018 M140i and even as standard the car is sick, fully get the exhaust mods, and other things, example the MoTech edition cars are stunning. for me,,, if you want an M2 go buy one, why make a car into something it's not, for us 140 owner's I'm sure we all agree there a fantastic car, why spoil it. Again, can't fault your work Mat, great effort
Thanks mate! But if I did what everyone else did then I simply wouldn’t have an entertaining UA-cam channel. Just be me doing this you have commented which raises engagement etc. Hope you understand 🙏
Matt that looks mental. Im not really a beemer fan, but that car in that colour looks really good, and i agree, defo dont do the black wheel route, would look a bit chavvie mate. I've only been watching you for a few months, but im very impressed with the mods you do, hope your channel keeps going from strength to strength mate.
I love that you got so much content and options for all viewers
Bro so much Happy watching the car transformed to new car how I wish to be your greatest lover and follower you go higher and greater in creativity in excellence
Looks really really well that mate.....possibly my favourite build you've done.
For me i think the rear arch extensions would just set it off from the norm.....go on, i dare you
Mat, how long do wraps last and what are they like in hot and cold weather do they bubble? Only just started watching your builds and repairs on here and can't get enough of them keep em coming.
Car wonderfull. Congratulations fron Brazil!!!
The difference in colour from the main cam to the mini one fixed to the car....love the videos mat, keep doing!
Nice job on the wrap, car looks superb! Pity about the awful spoiler on the m4 annoys the hell out of me. Thought it was going to fall off when you slammed the boot but no such luck.
Shame that
@@MatArmstrongbmx ‘tis indeed. Rest of the M4 is stunning.
The car looks awesome!!!
You did a phenomenal job on the wrap!!
I would have done the kidney bars in a silver to match the wheels. But it’s not my build.
Again most awesome job on the car!!
Proud of the build now your wife can use the m2/140i as a daily but im actually hurt that the Ps5 competition is only for UK residents because you have fans from South Africa also but we'll keep supporting your page keep up the amazing work
Amazing work as always mate can I ask sorry what brand of rattle cans did you use for the rear diffuser? Including primer and lacquer cheers mate
That looks banging! Gorgeous shade of blue and the carbon parts REALLY set it off. So glad you did that - What a nice example of the M140 this has turned out to be lol
Hi Mat..That looks great much better with the silver wheels and a nice job on the wrap...Spot on..
So I would honestly say the rims do work! I typically like a matte black rim which would also work very well but the aluminum not bad! Car looks great can’t wait to see the performance on the dyno.
Love it.
Hate black wheels !!
M140i is such a ferocious underdog, mine is so quick with 455bhp/634nm it's just fun fun fun.
Great video as always! Your passion shines through mate. Need to know when you are attending an event so I can come get a look at these beautiful motors.
Great finished to the wrap looking so good well-done
Looks amazing 🤙🏻 I’m learning to wrap cars but it’s very hard to find a placement or a unit :/ what vinyl wrap did u use ?
Matt love the visions you get with your cars. Great work brother from 🇨🇦
I do the same thing but not with wrecked cars. Lol
Keep your videos coming brother
Looking sick Mat! One thing however, I'd change those support bars to blue, the white looks a bit out of place if you ask me.
