Nice informative video. Have had mine for 3 weeks now & the average consumption hasnt dropped below 31.5 on a mixture of A B roads with a few cheeky sport mode overtakes thrown in. Well impressed.
+anpr1984 really good to hear. Though MPG may be a boring subject, it really does matter. The M140i really is a car that you can use as a daily. Enjoy it mate.
Great video mate showing what this car is like day to day, 37 mpg is not bad at all! Plus with low miles on the engine I am sure it will open up and and you should get better mpg and even more power.
Mines coming in the next few days, if I needed anymore convincing that I've made a good choice this has done it. Just need the insurance to be reasonable now
Finally bought one for myself, red leather seats like yours but mine are electric. Made sure I got adaptive suspension as you and other RUclipsrs have spoke highly of it
@@homiixide I still own (and love) the car. I had it remapped a few weeks after buying it, and it is running at 411bhp/576nm. I still get an average of 28mpg, even though I do like to drive it quickly. The fuel tank is quite small, and I use about half a tank per week just going to/from work.
@@DjNikGnashers I’m thinking of getting either F30 330i or 340i M Performance. No one I personally know has ever bought a 3 liter gasoline car so it’s difficult to know what it would cost me to own one. I don’t mind paying for a car I love, but I don’t wanna break my back and literally work for it and put my wage in to it either. B58 engine is very durable and reliable from what I’m seeing. But maintenance, tires, breaks, gas cost can be high. I’m assuming I could go about a week or a week and a half with a full tank which would roughly cost between 200-300 euros a month in fuel, does that sound about right?
@@homiixide I get roughly 300 miles from a full tank of premium 99ron petrol, and I don't drive it slowly. I don't know how much your fuel costs, sorry, I'm in England.
I tried my hardest on a 170 mile trip from Southampton to Nottingham with no silly driving at all and I only managed 36 mpg. Pretty good, but my previous Cayman managed over 40. Great video though!
+JD thanks mate. I think it all depends on other factors too, outside temp, inclines, declines etc. 36 not too bad though. On the motorway from bham to Yorkshire and back I usually average close 40-42mpg.
+Beepin Laxman thank you. Motorway mpg cruise at 70-75 is around 44mpg. Urban is more like 25mpg.check out my how much it costs to run my M140i Vid..... That'll give you a better understanding of fuel costs...
I've done about 8k in my m140i auto and have averaged 27 mpg, the only reason it's so high because I do a lot of motorway miles. I'd say 70% of my miles are done on the motorway in eco-pro
My M140i has just given me 42mpgs!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the M5, doing AROUND 70 mph, generally 34-35 on a normal drive.......have seen alot less mind, but generally more than my previous M135i.
Not bad economy really, but in traffic it’s going to drop significantly. Im happy with the balance of performance and economy my f30 320d gives me. I never use the stop / start feature either.
Better than my straight 6 bmw. I've being going too take plunge for some time now , Maybe this has swayed me.Can you keep an eye on oil levels please! Keep me up to speed. John Lambert.
That is immense mpg. I wish I could get near that. I took the 140 for a good run earlier and whilst having in sport plus and giving it some beans I got 25mpg. That was actually better than having the car in eco pro and driving through my town with a lot of islands
+TJB147 to be honest to get that mpg it was a sedated drive. My car has averaged 25mpg over 2k miles. I'm happy with that. I drove it around Wales today mainly in sport+ with sport auto too I got around 30mpg on that run.
Blacked out grill looks mean.. how did you do it? i.e. is it that black plastic spray or was it a new grill? Also would love to see a 0 to 60 of m140 versus S3
+Sajid Yacoob its an M performance grill ie new piece. Once the car has been run in (another 700miles to go) I will see if I can do a showdown with a face-lift S3.
+JT1985 to be honest MPG doesn't really bother me too much. This was an informative Vid to see what this car can achieve which is impressive. Daily commute in traffic gives me mid 20s which is great for the power on tap.
DownShift Throttle its auto town driving 19mpg. I was actually really surprised how bad it is compare to official extra urban mpg figures but then I compare with most the new performance car like golf r and a45 they average similar in real world
Interested I getting an M240i but there are comments on forums about issues with the oil filters coming apart in the oil filter housings during oil & filter changes done either by BMW service departments of owners doing their own oil changes. This has required replacement of the filter housings by BMW with an hourly rate of 5+ hours labour. OK if you are covered by a warranty or the failure happened while the cars was in the hands of a BMW service department technician. Also similar stories of this happening to other B58 engines in other models. Have you had an issue?
8:26 what's the deal with your 2 side grills where fog lights normally go? On my 240 LCI both sides are open with coolers behind them, but yours is blocked on one side. I mentioned this to my salesman when I collected because I wasn't expecting both sides to be open... he must have misunderstood my question cos he just mentioned fog lights... well I knew it wouldn't have fogs, I just wasn't expecting twin coolers... so why is 140 different to 240 in this regard when the only real difference is body plan?
Ahh. So the new 2018 m140i and M240i have both lower grills open and have 2. Coolers. It's to do with the new emissions. From what I've read and heard as the new 2018 cars have the PPF they need additional coolers apparently. I could be wrong but going by what I've read.
@@areyouavinalaff Yours will have the PPF filter though...... From what I understand the exhaust don't sound that great. You might want to upgrade to a remus back box if you want it to sound decent.
I took a 420d out for a test drive not too long ago... I was underwhelmed to say the least. Nice to know that the x40i engines are capable of decent economy though.
+GPD W 420d/320d engines from 2015 ie B47 with 190hp and 400Nm of torque are fairy punchy units with decent economy. I currently run a 320d and it's pretty much a faultless car in its own regard. Can't compare it to the x40i engine but it's good enough. M140i daily driving gives around 20-25mpg around town. Stretch its legs then you can expect around 30-35mpg. Check out my 320d and 420d vids if you like....
Ok, black alloys, blacked rear windows, darkened front and rear lights, optical display, pdc, cruise control, Harman Kardon touch screen display.... The list goes on, its not SHADOW its SHADOW LINE!
David Currie it's 'shadow edition' Yeap I have all of the stuff you mentioned there other than the optical display. The shadow edition is an LCI 2 car which mine is not as when I ordered mine the shadow edition was not available. Trust me I'm not replicating a shadow edition with the mods.....no need to.
I've had my auto M140i since June over 4k miles I've averaged 33mpg. Very impressive in my opinion. Mixture of driving around town and motorway.
+Daniel Waters-Jones it's a great all rounder

Just need the insurance to be reasonable now
Should be ok mate.... Check out my 'how much it costs vid'

Love your profile pic
Just bought one myself, a 2017 auto, awesome machine.
Enjoy it for many miles ahead. Enjoy my M140i vids
Do you still own it? How is the gas mileage on average? How many times a week do you have to get gas and how often do you drive?
@@homiixide I still own (and love) the car.

+Roland G thanks mate. I just got back from doing a similar run but.... This time in sport plus..... Still got 35mpg! Best of both worlds....
4.0 in such a small car is crazy yet it’s an amazing little car with such power

DownShift Throttle thanks man!
I drive my m140i from Manchester to Luton then over to oxford and managed 340 miles on a full tank before filling back up on the m6 toll services
+Callum Steggles that's good going. Bet that was driven hard at times? I regularly get a range of 400miles on a good run

My M140i has just given me 42mpgs!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the M5, doing AROUND 70 mph, generally 34-35 on a normal drive.......have seen alot less mind, but generally more than my previous M135i.
Asa Hudson more than the m135 won't surprise me as the b58 engine is a newer more efficient engine. Best of both worlds with the M140i
Not bad economy really, but in traffic it’s going to drop significantly. Im happy with the balance of performance and economy my f30 320d gives me. I never use the stop / start feature either.
Daily drive it's been 25mpg consistently. I have a f30 lci 320d for economy too.
Generally around 25mpg in mixed driving. It is possible to get into single figures though...
Yeap yesterday I went on a spirited drive and got 9mpg.....that s not the norm everyday driving for me though hah
What shade or % are the lights tinted? Thats exactly how i want mine
About 20%
Better than my straight 6 bmw. I've being going too take plunge for some time now , Maybe this has swayed me.Can you keep an eye on oil levels please! Keep me up to speed. John Lambert.
+John Lambert what car do you have mate? I know the full fat M cars do consume oil more than regular cars. However I will keep you posted.

I've done 1500 miles in my manual M140i and am averaging 27-28 mpg
+W00LFY100 so on mine @ 700 which is completely urban and quick blasts I'm at 24mpg. For what it is, it is impressive.
DownShift Throttle had my mid pipe de resonated today so it will be falling from now on haha
+W00LFY100 your mpg will be falling to a classic/traditional 3.0 litre straight six.....😂
No traffic...
+nilzr1 minimal. Wanted to see how close I could get it to lab conditions lol
Thats quiete suprising yer and i love ur grill mod but never been a fan of smokin the lights cant tell you why but no ha
Dials illumination can be coded.
+vladmury tell me more that would be really useful
Just wish I had the M135i suspension :( sooooooooo much softer in confort mode
+Asa Hudson did you have the adaptive suspension on the m135
DownShift Throttle Yep, adaptive on the m140i, think they must have tweaked the 140i, over the 135, presumably to get the extra power down.
Unless you do regular long drives with infrequent accelerating you can expect mid 20's if you drive it hard most of the time expect teens
+JT1985 to be honest MPG doesn't really bother me too much. This was an informative Vid to see what this car can achieve which is impressive. Daily commute in traffic gives me mid 20s which is great for the power on tap.
My m140 averages 19 mpg lol. But once get on motorway I can get around 33mpg that’s if I use eco mode cruising
Wow.... That's quite low.... Is yours a manual or auto? Auto is more efficient.... You must have a heavy foot lol.
DownShift Throttle its auto town driving 19mpg. I was actually really surprised how bad it is compare to official extra urban mpg figures but then I compare with most the new performance car like golf r and a45 they average similar in real world
Mmm. Still quite a way off what I'm getting..... Town driving usually around 23-25mpg motorway it's usually anything from 38.5 - 44mpg

is it xdrive or rwd?
+R Royal this one is rwd as I'm in the UK. The xdrive is only available across the rest of Europe.
