Some places have restrictions on mounting cameras to the outside of the car so even though he overlooked it, it might not be possible. Unless you watch through the windscreen and get people to film from the pits etc 😄
I could’ve mounted one facing forwards from the inside of the windscreen, but hoped the one mounted on the passenger window would show it (...it didn’t)
Nice to see you driving it in it's natural habitat mate, too many people just take pictures and post their cars on IG instead of enjoying them the way they should be emjoyed.
For tyres I’d be checking out the eagle F1 supersports - basically a Goodyear equivalent of the Michelin PS4S (tyre reviews reckons maybe fractionally better) but actually made in the size you need for the 140 unlike the michelins
I have actually been around the goodwood track myself. Such a good one. Lots of long sweeping bends and then sharp corners. A great track with lots of heritage. P.S Bruce McLaren died at the Goodwood Circuit.
I might have missed it in your other videos Luke but what spec are the wheels - size/Width/offset/spacers? etc. Are they genuine 359's? Car is looking very tidy and sounding lovely 👌
Great video, would you mind posting how much your track day cost you, did you get track insurance and if you needed to replace brakes etc. I have the 440i and I'd love to take it to Goodwood but it's my daily drive so a bit nervous about wearing out brakes and tyres!
Totally depends how you drive it and the conditions. Some tracks are far worse than others for wear and some tyres are totally unsuited to track work. A friend ruined a set of uniroyal rainsport 4s in half a day whereas another friend with the same car has had 5 full trackdays out of Yoko AD08Rs. The same goes for brakes, you will quickly ruin standard equipment and find that your car needs a lot of mods to be decent on track. Also i regards to the weather, you wear tyres and brakes far less on a wet day than a roasting hot day. So many variables.
Sounded great on track, would have been nice to see / hear some shots from trackside. Car looks so much better without the black (Halfords) stripes!! Not sure about the hair net though, best buy a helmet for next time!!😂
Like others, I also appreciate the effort you made in doing this video, but I'm not that interested in staring at you for 15 mins. You mentioned the car was under-steering a little, which is a result of fitting the diff. To counter that, you need to increase the width of the track at the front, and add some camber. But, that aside, I do enjoy your video's and the fact you really love your car comes across in every one.
@@hampshirephoto Adds up to an expensive few hours, tyres, brakes, 6 month oil changes etc. Maybe worth a short video on the real cost of a track session.
I would usually be down Goodwood now building the Jaguar Land rover stand ready for the festival of speed. Not this year im afraid. Ps leave your engine running after you've been dogging it at any time. That boiling hot oil is sat in the turbo smouldering away. Much better to leave tje engine running for couple mins after stopping
OMG i was howling first of all you SERIOULY need a haircut second what the hell was that i dont even know what to call it thing you looked a right clip haha.
Hahaha I'd be scared as heck in that thing with traction off! Don't have the LSD on mine and it's super rear happy with a bit of throttle! P.S. Did anyone else notice the fuel gauge needle actually dropping in real time!?
@@hampshirephoto Yeah I love the M140i but definitely notice it struggles to put power down safely without an LSD. I get the inside wheel spin when turning from standstill on an incline onto a road at a 90 degree angle. Really have to feather the throttle, especially in the wet! But I've also heard the MPSS tyres are hopeless in the wet or when the tyres cold. From my research the MPS4 are a massive improvement in those scenarios. Did you experience similar before the LSD? I saw you were thinking about upgrading your tyres. Tyrereviews does a great comparison on RUclips between the MPS4S and MPS4. Basically, the TLDR is if you track your car like you do now you might benefit from the MPS4S if you can get them in 18inch. But they aren't as good for daily driving as they take longer to warm up and perform worse in non-track environments. Personally I'll be going the MPS4 next, but don't think I can justify $6K AUD on an LSD 😞
@@hampshirephoto yeah to a degree fo sure. But some videos you really get an idea of the experience but didn't here just your commentary on the car's performance without any track footage.
Buys a Bmw 140i for track days and doesn't have his own helmet 😂 How is a Bmw 1 series not a track car? In the touring cars they were pretty much unbeatable
This could have been a great video if we could watch the track. Keep that in mind for the next track video
Slightly overlooked that - will remember for next time

I echo that, windscreen cams don’t work so well IMO, headrest mounts are good so you can see the wheel inputs too. Awesome vid nonetheless 👍
Nice to see you driving it in it's natural habitat mate, too many people just take pictures and post their cars on IG instead of enjoying them the way they should be emjoyed.
Had to be done! I’ll be back there soon for sure
Hey man you should do a pov 🙂
Good idea!
hampshirephoto GoPro on your helmet
Tow eye go pro mount
Gopro on helmet is what I do in my vids, definitely a good way to see the lines you are taking etc.
You need Markcup70 to show you the lines for a 140 :D
Great video Luke :) looking at the comments I’m looking forward to seeing a future track day with a few pov track angles thrown in!
Thanks Sam!
Nice driving bro

Thanks for the recommendation!
Hey man, I love your videos, keep it up
the engine and exhaust sound is epic man!
Thanks!
Great video again man! Excellent driving too
Great driving Luke, new to the channel 👍👍👍 beautiful car mate . 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Next time we need to see the track please...🙄🙄
Noted
@@hampshirephoto we dont want to see you mate,
We want to see the track 😂😂
Great vid, bet your glad you went for the Stance + set up👍
Thank you! 100%
Buy a set of cup 2 s if you are planning to track it.

It’s a great track!
Nice. The only thing I didn't do in my m140i was a track day. But with a few mods they work well from what I've just seen 👍 Time to tune that b58 now!
I would really like to see the track next time
top vid luke nice driving cheers steve 👍 😀
Thanks Steve!
Great driving skills bro and that moment you hit 140 for the 1st time 😂
Thanks mate!
Post your next track event in advance, would be nice to race you with my M140. I Haven’t got an LSD but I would make it a decent race!
Lol at the corona balaclava 😂
😂😂
would’ve got this if i didn’t get the s3... i still watch
How does it compare to the golf r on track? Better?
When are you going to add some performance modifications Luke?
Good video luke. Would benefit from a headrest mount ;)

Nice driving Luke. you got them number plate holes fixed yet😂😉👍
Thanks Mark! ...no 😭😂
great video! What size are your wheel and tyres? Trying to improve traction on my Bm m140, but the stock wheels are too narrow
Seems like a lot's of fun, cheers
It was!
Nice one mate!
Was a great day
great video broo i love it
Thanks!
Yes bro, smashed it, nice vids, iv got a m135i f21, wheres that track addresz.. might need to line up with urs. 🤣🤣
Thank you! This is Goodwood Motor Circuit. Would be cool to do a track day with some subscribers
Sounded great on track, would have been nice to see / hear some shots from trackside. Car looks so much better without the black (Halfords) stripes!! Not sure about the hair net though, best buy a helmet for next time!!😂
Is that the straight 6 inline BMW engine in that M1?
Hi,
Did you get adaptive suspension as extra?
Great Vids!!
Thanks! Unfortunately not
Doesn’t look like it handles well in the corners!!
Yes bro, forgot to ask you where did you get and still get all your car tuning from. Mine is m135i f21. Thinking to mod it all up.
My car isn’t tuned!
Decent vid 👍🏻
Nice driving 😁🏎 have you tried launch control with the Lsd yet?
Thanks! Yeah - it didn’t really work 😂
Good track driving, question why do you not have at least a long sleeve skirt. Here in Australia its mandatory for track days?
Thanks. Only required in convertibles in the UK
I enjoyed that, but in that helmet, I couldn't stop thinking you looked like Rick Moranis in Spaceballs :D
😂😬😂
😭😂
Love this car ;)
Just watched your A45s on track video from old and looked like you was lapping quicker in the A45s?
I’ll compare it closely my end, but it could’ve been close! I recall the A45S hitting a higher speed on the back straight though
Have you considered turning off the fake engine sound? It takes 5 minutes with Bimmercode. I did that with my M2 and it's much better.
I haven’t considered it actually. I think the camera mic’s make it sound louder that it actually is in person
Which option is it in BimmerCode?
Hi Luke I haven't heard anything about gt86 been fixed.
Video coming next Wednesday
Mate, come onnnn... surely it’s time for an alcantara steering wheel. Then the motor is complete. 🤙🏽
Got one on mine and honestly they look good but at the sacrifice of gripping the wheel lol
Good video, I’ll eventually do a track day
Thanks!
Hey, do you think you will ever get a wrap on the m140i??
Hey! I’ve considered it, but not sure yet
nice choise 👍🤩

Been working out Luke?
A little bit 🙊🙏🏻
Did you take out track day insurance, or take a gamble?
Took out track insurance - was only £200 😎💪🏻

Not a bad idea
It is funny watching the fuel gauge
Nice, Helmet 👍🏻
Is it better than the R or different league on track
Different league 100%

You know what.... You look like the dad in boss baby tbh 😅

I’m aware, but I’d probably look worse if I attempted to cut my own hair!
Hey dude,
There's a car meet in/ around basingstoke tomorrow (28th June)
Would love if I you pulled up for little.
Msg me for more details.

With the LSD, the car is so much better to drive. As for the fuel gauge, yes it drained very very quickly 😂😂

Doing 140 in a 140 👌
You've been gaining some weight there mate 😂 and I dont mean the helmet
I bet he cannot make a video without mentioning the golf R at least once?
You can't start the video with shmee's tagline 😂
This is how I start all my videos 🤗
Your seat is too far down bud, recline it little bit more to the upwards position
Also next time, show more driving than yourself :)
Fun for you not the viewers lol
Isn’t that the same story for any RUclips video? Unless the viewer happen to be in the same place whilst filming 😂
hampshirephoto I’m a viewer and it was fun for me 😜
@@hampshirephoto yeah to a degree fo sure. But some videos you really get an idea of the experience but didn't here just your commentary on the car's performance without any track footage.
Ha ha ha this car chows fuel yooh
I burnt a full tank in 1 hour of track time 😂

Oh so the BTCC run completely stock, road-going cars nowadays? Could’ve sworn they were highly modified, track only cars when I last checked 🙄
@@hampshirephoto missing the point by a country mile. Anyway have hope u have a great week
