- I take a trip down memory lane as I get in the driving seat of the BMW M140i for the first since 2020! This time I have a manual gearbox to contend with which is a very unique experience for a past M140i owner with a ZF8 gearbox!
But this has really changed my approach to the M140i, it drives much more playful and fun than the auto!
Massive thanks to Gaz and the team at A1 Autohaus for supplying me with this car to review!

Max. The M140i is surely a classic already? What a car! Nothing compares! RWD. That engine! And let us not forget the looks! The M140i [in fact all this series of BMW 1 Series in 3 door hatch look fantastic!] Dimensions and just the use-ability of these amazing cars. Without doubt on so many people's 'must own list. BMW at its best. Love it! A real 'Q' car.
Great video!! Sums up everything about the m140i nicely
Max great review absolutely loved it thank you 🙏🏽 💪🏽😮💨
winner kidd deffo 🔥💯💪🏻
That's a motor and a half ! Great video !
Very professional review. Keen to know how you compare it to the w204 c63 and e92 m3
Yh agree with @duncan94
It will hopefully NOT be considered a classic and will be easily available cheap in the near future, it’s just a 1 series with a B58 it’s a fantastic recipe without having anything special about it… the previous gen isn’t a classic, classics should generally be 20+ years old 😂
Possibly to a certain buyer...but they're never real M car's that's the downside...I own E92 M3 DCT LCI I of 500 mineral white...hopefully that will become a classic...👊👊🔥🔥
It will hold its value very well, that’s for sure
Early models are starting at £12k now so i doubt that haha
it is very popular car, a lot was produced but a lot of them have been written off as well. The only hatchback ever made with the b58. BMW stop producing these in 2019. With low mileage and in pristine condition it could be a future classic.
An incredible car for the money but certainly won't be a 'classic'. The same way the E9x 335i is an incredible car (minus the reliability issues that came with the N54) but it won't be a classic.
Really can't see it becoming a classic with how many are about. Potentially in 30+ years with sub 5k miles but the car doesn't handle well and that is all a hot hatch is, lacks a lot other than the engine compared to all other hot hatches.
Yh completely agree, maybe if the world goes super tame going forward it will be viewed as crazy 20 years from now etc, but it really is just a 1 series with the B58 fitted
A m140i a future classic 😂😂😂😂 wise up
Of course, look at current classics. You have 325 e30 that's a classic. A peugeot 205 is a classic. Once these get old, rusted out. Crashed and scrapped because of future regulations that I guarantee will remove a lot of the combustion engines off the road once this gay electric thing takes over, then a lot of performance petrol and diesels will become classic
Too many made
bmw's don't feel right in a manual the zf8 is incredible and reliable
Overproduced, ugly af and early ones already £12k, no chance of it being a classic ever🤣
That will be as much as a classic as a caviler!!
