Christo Joubert yes was brilliant fun!! It usually depends on circuit (some are more/less strict) and how dead the tyres are. Also I had spare wheels to swap at the end of the day so could properly kill these tyres. Same circumstances in the M4 would’ve meant similar enjoyment 😋😎😂
@@samellio Awesome stuff! Hope to see you on track someday when I actually get around to book one - seems like you will be able to give some good pointers!
Thank you 🙏 unfortunately not. I sold this 3 door car then got a 5 door but that got stolen 😭 Also had a m135 years ago. The track is Bedford Autodrome.
@@AGM240i I'll reply for you too. If you doubt, just GET ONE. Should be #1 mod on an M lite, next is better dampers / solid bushings / lower control arms.. but start with LSD.
It’s not really breaking traction, you turn in on brakes and have the car unbalanced to initiate the slide, then use power to hold the slide. All cars behave the same in this respect. Breaking traction is when power overwhelms grip. Or that’s my understanding 😂
Looking to get one of these and this is the first thing I'm going to do to it (plus a St2.5), so surprised they don't come with LSD as standard being a RWD. Also v suprised they let you get away with that at Bedford! They are proper noise nazis
Good luck in finding one, brilliant cars. They do have an elsd that works when car is in dsc off, but it doesn’t really work at high speed on dry. The BMW m performance LSD can be bought new sometimes for about £1300, you just need to look out for the best deal. Haha Bedford are strict, same as any MSV track really. If you want to have fun go to thruxton!!
Looks like pure driving joy! nice job 👍
Loooooveee it!!! That’s my fav video of the month sorted 😆
😂😂👌
The Flag at the end.. 😂
Looks like you had loads of fun! Seems like when you go out in the M140 you drive it a bit more enthusiastically than in the M4 - why is that?

Christo Joubert Get it booked mate! Always happy to help, basically, the idea is to kill tyres, many ways of doing this 😂😂
Brilliant, towards the end I thought a marshal would be waving you a nice flag!!!!
billyboysm3 haha how did you guess?😂
Nice driving.. everything a bmw should be 👌
Thank you 🙏
Misson accomplished 😄
Amazing control exploiting the benefits of LSD. Is that the M diff or Quaife?
Thank you! It’s the M performance diff 👍
Nice car control!!!!!!!!
Thank you 😊
Looks like plenty of fun.
Great driving there. Do you still have the 140i? Also, which track is this?
Thank you 🙏 unfortunately not. I sold this 3 door car then got a 5 door but that got stolen 😭 Also had a m135 years ago. The track is Bedford Autodrome.
Looks ace fun!
good stuff. Looks like you have some understeer which becomes oversteer with a good balance! Do you run 245/35 all round or OEM setup? Thanks
Thanks 👍 was running 235/40/18 all round in AR1.
@@samellio with sticky tyres! They don't seem to be quite snappy as some of the competitors, AD08 etc.. I'll have to try them next time too! :-)
Well worth the black flag, brilliant video.
Thank you 😊
Nice 💪🏾
Run here in DSC off or sport+?
Dsc off, always off
@@samellio M Performance LSD (diff)?
@@jenea340 yup 👍
Very cool
you have an LSD fitted ? nice driving
Thank you, yes Mperformance lsd fitted, pads and camber, otherwise it’s stock 👍
How was the diff ? Happy with it ?
@AGM240i yes the mperformance LSD is really good, would recommend over quaife 👍
@@AGM240i I'll reply for you too. If you doubt, just GET ONE. Should be #1 mod on an M lite, next is better dampers / solid bushings / lower control arms.. but start with LSD.
@@zdx197 Thanks guys i will buy it for my car.
Looks like great fun how it compare to the r32 gtr
Jamie SpeedSheets it’s good fun but nothing compares to the R32 👍
Fun, but definitely doesn't help with track speed
bro awesome video!! was your M140i stock motor wise or did you have any flash tunes etc?
Thank you 🙏 It was all stock.
@@samellio that is awesome man! Shame to see it go.
what kind of lsd?
BMW M Performance 👍
Amazed how easily it breaks traction
It’s not really breaking traction, you turn in on brakes and have the car unbalanced to initiate the slide, then use power to hold the slide. All cars behave the same in this respect.
