seen on your snap youre driving an M5 at the moment. that yours or just testing it? know i aint got your plate mate. sorry bout the 140. was a good looking car :(
Unbelievable mate, you've had some amount of serious bad luck. Losing your pride and joy like that must have been gut wrenching. You handled it well. Looking forward to see what you buy next 👍
Hello Brett, so I've been in this position. unfortunately I crashed my 125d, it was my fault and it was hard to accept. insurance didn't cover it due to me not declaring a bloody sticker very stupid little thing they picked up on. anyways, months down the line I've recovered it, its on my drive way. I've repaired it without any mechanical knowledge. I called in a mobile mechanic a couple times to help me with some bits. But the main outline here is, cars will come and go, I was too weak to let it go so I repaired it and I am waiting for body shop to collect it and finish the rest. I cried my eyes out for weeks over this as the sentimental value of the car was higher than the price. If you want to message me and talk about the situation I'm more than happy to listen and give you some extra support, I believe your friends, family and gf have done this already but always helps to speak with likeminded individuals. keep your head up and look at a BMW 440i or 428i you wont be disappointed. All the best mate
@@CARBONJUNIORS yes mate unfortunately. I didn’t know stickers were a thing to declare as sometimes when you buy a car the company you brought it from just slap a promo sticker on, see kids people with the thanks nhs ones too so I didn’t think anything of my ones with my Instagram. Hard lesson to learn unfortunately
didn't realise it was you! I've seen your car cruising around and at meets in west country, used to take my f21 too. am at uni now.. so sad to hear, such a nice 1 series. bless you king, all the best
Really feel for you Brett it was a lovely car and watching your videos prompted me to buy my own BMW, hope you get new wheels soon. I think the look on your face in that 2 series coupe speaks volumes so maybe that should be your next car.
My M135i got crashed into in July, literally had it for 2 months before it got hit, luckily the valuation kept it away from being a write off because I loved it, but it took 4 months to get the work assessed, confirmed and working 😩 and finally getting back mid November! I know the pain of losing your pride and joy, head high and onto bigger and better things, but phooo your insurance must be rocket high now
At the end of the day mate Its only a lump of metal As long as you never got hurt thats the main thing Yes it bloody sucks when it happens,but like your relationship you will get over it and somethings actually do happen for a reason Glad you got a decent pay out Thats mostly thanks to Covid for silly used car values at present As for a new car Go and have a look around and treat yourself to something nice,but do it for yourself and not us When your ready most of us will still be here waiting for your posts Good Luck
I haven't followed this channel for abit, but I really feel for you mate. Seems like some serious bad luck, I remember the horrible engine map problem and now this - ngl I would be distraught and let it get me down but it's good to see your relatively ok and being positive again. Wishing the best 👍
Had a small accident recently and the initial bang is so scary. It’s complete shock and it’s horrible bro. You should just stick to m140 if you’re still comfortable with getting the same car maybe a diff colour.
My brother was in a similar situation not so long ago. Moved his car from the driveway to the main road so my mum could get her car out to go to work. Only been parked for 10-15 minutes on the road and then it got hit. He got the car new and ended up getting written off in 2 months, although the women that did crash into her was very apologetic and turns out she only lived round the corner.
I remember buying parts for my msport 118i when you had yours from watching your vids, I lost my 118i to a write off crash too. I feel your pain. You’ll get back on your feet, I did eventually & bought another one. Good luck pal
Awful to hear this I really do feel for you. I had a very similar event happen to me back in March this year, I was on a roundabout and someone failed to stop from my left side, smashing into the side of the car that my Ex was sat in, and spinning me facing traffic in the middle of a roundabout :/ the woman went straight into a lamppost and had to be cut out of the car, It was my first car 2019 Audi A1 S-Line, absolutely loved the car, never got a sorry, or anything from her, we had 4 police cars turn up, two ambulances it was a nightmare. Creating huge arguments between me and my Ex at the time, thankfully I had a dashcam so the other driver had to plead 100% guilty. She tried to sue etc take my to court which never happened. Hope you're doing alright tho mate!
Sorry to hear about your car. I used to have a 140i for two years which I recently changed for a Cupra Formentor which three person tried to steal by breaking into my home yet nobody ever tried to steal my 140 i which everybody told me would happen when I bought it.
Suggestion. If you can park your pride and joy off a main road do so, I notice it’s not protected by other parked cars so can be a bit of a hazard at night. Not everyone has off street parking but if it’s just round the corner on side street, it may give you some peace of mind.
Mate not sure if you will see this but I had a VERY similar story to this. In September last year I bought a M140i 2019 with 4000 miles coming from a 118i like yourself, was my pride and joy spent a lot of money on mods on it and long story short it was a slippery day and I hit a lamppost with minimal damage but air bags deployed, was written off. Had to wait ages for a verdict and payout think it was 8 weeks in total. I know it’s been a while since the accident happened but just want you to know that you’re not alone when it comes to things like this, happens all the time, at least you’re safe and no one was seriously hurt. I now own another m140i with higher spec and love it just as much as my previous one. This is devastating news but you’re an awesome RUclipsr and you’ll come back stronger my man!💪
It was all part of my master plan to become the only creator on RUclips to make M140i videos... Luke Pappy and Hamza next on the hitlist 😈 Im joking, obviously. On a serious note pal, at least you weren't in it and you've managed to handle it well. I'd imagine it's an absolutely gutting experience. The vast majority of people who own cars like this pride themselves on taking care of them and for a select few making videos on them is a livelihood too. Onwards and upwards 🙌 Can't wait to see what you get next 😉
Gutted to hear/see this bud. Glad everything has turned out alright for you though. I would personally love to see you get another m140i. I know you’ve already had it and enjoyed it for the time you’ve owned one but to me, I’d love to see where you was going with it. I mean, I’m a bit biased since I really want one and I enjoyed your content but I believe if you don’t do things you’ve said to yourself you want to do, you’ll feel some sort of regret. Can’t wait to see wha you decide👍🏻
This has happened to me, same exact thing, I was at home and someone hit and run, unfortunately they had no license or insurance and was drunk, hope you get this all sorted mate it’s been a slow and draining experience
A bit harsh on the Woman, she must have been shaken by the accident and just lost one of her pets, I hope that in this situation I would have been more sympathetic.
I've just recived my brand new 2018 bmw 120i yesterday and I was wondering about you mate. I'm really sorry about the accident..., wish everything is going to be allright and keep it up man. Greatings from your Spanish suscriber!
So gutting mate, when put your heart and sole into a nice decent car so annoying and upsetting.but the positive no one was injured. Be looking forward to your pick up video of the replacement car you decide on.
So sorry for you mate. Didn‘t see that one coming. I would love to see a 340i F30 on your channel. I think it would fit you very nicely. Hope you stay with BMW…
Hi mate - Just discovered your channel, had an accident and lost my BMW F30 three months ago. Similar damage, had somebody pull out on me. I’ve been paid out for it and now I’m looking to the future. I’ve heard you mention about bad luck, honestly don’t stop with the RUclips thing! I’m only halfway through the video and already think you’re class, and ironically I bet this video will blow up. It was in my recommended so👍🏻 Looking forward to new content from you mate. Car can be replaced, I do think it’s a write off personally. Edit: also noticed you’re nineteen - I am too mate, and I went through similar stuff to you honestly with the crash. Promise you will be all good! Better hire car than me, I got given a 116D😂
This is why I refuse to park my car on the road, I make my missus move her car on to the road so I have a space on the drive 🤣 sorry this happened Brett! Hopefully a new car soon!
Gutted for you, really sad to see this. I'm selling a nigh in immaculate Alpine White 2018 M140i Shadow Edition, with manual 'box, if interested and thinking of getting another one. Wasn't out looking for different avenues to sell my car, I just happened upon your vid just now and thought I'd mention it. All the best, Trev
I agree with about having the car repaired, I had a ford mondeo st200 many years ago that got hit in the rear, the insurance paid for the repairs, but weirdly never felt the same car to drive.
This is so sad mate, my heart goes out to you however i am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, so who knows the future may be brighter than you think.
2 years ago had a 1st car crashed when my car was stationary. At 40mph zone. Ive got a 3rd car now. Luckly since 2 years no more crash. But i hope it doesnr happen to nobody.
And this is why I never park my BMW on the road even for 5mins. People like this woman shouldn’t be driving cars on public roads. Feel sorry for these two dogs and cat😞
I know exactly how you feel mate I got a brand new 70 plate polo R-line in orange in November and I loved it and about 3 months ago it was written off because a lorry on the motorway didn’t check his blind spot and totally destroyed my car. But you’ve just got to keep your chin up mate and keep on moving forward 👍🏻x
Bad luck mate , definitely not your fault , lets hope you have better fortune with your new car ! Maybe a 3 Series ? l am on my 3rd and they a fantastic car .
As a fellow m140 enthusiast that left me shook to see. I would of been so angry at that woman. Im sure didn't wanna be in accident either but her car would of been worth less than a quarter of yours and very easily replaced. People think they are just cars but to us they mean so much more and she won't get that. Glad you got the pay out though, keep your head up mate 👍
Sorry to hear about the car bud. A good bmw I recommend you is the E9x m3 with the v8 that you put a super charger on it and easy make 600whp and reliable engine if you replace the rod bearing on them
This hurt to watch! I’ve just got my dream car this year before I turned 24 and couldn’t imagine I’d handle it as well as you have if this was to happen to me! I have a 2016 F80 M3. If it’s in budget M2 or M3 I’d say is what you should get, but sure what ever you get will be bigger and better. Also a massive BMW geek myself so can relate!
Hi Brett. Been waiting for a new upload from you. This was shocking to watch. Upsetting for us to. I guess she was tending to her pets at speed, distracted, eating, not paying attention and driving too fast. Please get another Bmw to mod. A new positive chapter and way forward in your life. Learn from the experience plus your bmw knowledge.Times a healer. I’ve had this happen several times to me. I fully sympathise. Looking forward to your next Bmw mission. Chin up. Your channel and content is totally awesome, so genuine and down to earth. U.K. supports you. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
So sorry man. That truly is a bad bad day! But like you say, it could have been much worse! I just bought a 2019 M240i coupe and for reasons of my own selfishness, I’d love to see you in that car! Man that would be awesome 👏 to follow along and pick up some tips. Only my second BMW purchase at 59, but totally enjoying this ride!
So sad that more and more drivers are becoming ignorant to their driving these days. Anyone that appreciates driving and understands cars will have significantly less crashes. Bless your good friends and family 👏. Bless you for your bad luck brother, big sympathy for you and hope you get everything set straight and the bad luck stops 😅.
I hope this goes some way to making you feel like your not the only one with horrendous bad luck. I bought a bmw 335d m sport paid £30k cash. Paid £600 to upgrade the brake pads all round with endless blue stuff pads. Took the car out to bed the brakes in and on the way back struck a pot hole deep enough to bury someone in. Totally obliterated a £780 alloy wheel and damaged the rear wheel on the same side. Got the vehicle recovered. After forking out £1700 to make the car roadworthy and nearly a year of pursuing the roads department they found themselves not to be at fault as they were not aware of the incident prior to it occurring 😂😂😂. Then over the following three months on the same stretch of road my windscreen was cracked by a flying object off the back of an hgv. Same road. Same circumstances. Three windscreens later!!
Well i didn't know it was crashed until now and really didn't expect it, the 140s are so nice especially that one with how personal it was. I think a good replacement for it could be a new new gen ford mustang.
sad to hear that happened mate. must have felt real bad to have your pride and joy just taken away from you like that. at least you’re not hurt as you’re not even in the car. as for your next ride, maybe a F3x? a 340i or 440i?
I remember back in 2018 I just got a Astra GTC and less than a month later someone smashes into me in a Lidl car park in the pouring rain. He tried to drive off. I ran straight in front of his car. I was pissed off. He got out and tried to wipe the massive dents in my car away with T-Cut😒. This pissed me off even more. Sent an entire video to my insurance company and they saw how scratched up and dented his car was. I’ve had four accidents and they’ve all hit me. Never lost my no claims though
Mate any setback is just setting you up for something better. This same situation happened to my girlfriend last year (parked, crushed against a curb by someone driving too fast in the snow, snapped rear axle) and the insurance payout was good enough to upgrade to a better car. Content for us youtubers at the end of the day, sucks that you lost your pride and joy but onwards and upwards. Glad you're doing alright, and I'll forgive you for calling my Cupra boring 😜
Sorry for your loss bro, like the old saying one mans loss is another mans gain. New owner is going to have a lot of fun in it once it’s back on the rd. For your new car I’d say get a M2 competition pack in a Hockenheim Silver😍
Thanks for watching everyone
Aw mate that's devastating, at least you ended up getting the payout, keep your head up 😢
seen on your snap youre driving an M5 at the moment. that yours or just testing it? know i aint got your plate mate. sorry bout the 140. was a good looking car :(
I recommend trying some different companies Audi TT?
440i
Unbelievable mate, you've had some amount of serious bad luck. Losing your pride and joy like that must have been gut wrenching. You handled it well. Looking forward to see what you buy next 👍
140i is definitely gonna be a collector's piece. I have seen so many written Off.
As a 140i owner, this was hard to watch😔 Atleast you weren't in it, and everyone is ok!
my heart goes out to you bro. glad you’re not losing your spirit despite constant setbacks. never give up! ps. an M2 comp would be nice

@@BrettBarnesYT my pleasure mate always here for those in need
A fucking sticker??
Name the insurance company or at least give us a clue!
@@CARBONJUNIORS yes mate unfortunately.

Maybe ;)
*RIP to the Red Demon
Can’t imagine how you felt man! At least no one was injured! I went from a 140 to an m4 best thing I did mate. Treat yourself!
Such a shame, a beautiful M140 same colour as my 1 series. Very ignorant of her for not apologies, really hope it goes well for your next car
My M135i got crashed into in July, literally had it for 2 months before it got hit, luckily the valuation kept it away from being a write off because I loved it, but it took 4 months to get the work assessed, confirmed and working 😩 and finally getting back mid November!

At the end of the day mate
Its only a lump of metal
As long as you never got hurt thats the main thing
Yes it bloody sucks when it happens,but like your relationship you will get over it and somethings actually do happen for a reason
Glad you got a decent pay out
Thats mostly thanks to Covid for silly used car values at present
As for a new car
Go and have a look around and treat yourself to something nice,but do it for yourself and not us
When your ready most of us will still be here waiting for your posts
Good Luck

Awful luck mate we all here for you
Gutted for you fella the car was a whip, I bought a 3 series because i come across ur account, love ur videos cant wait to see whats next
the problem with buying a car now is they are 3k to 5k more than last year it's a jole how much they'v gone up in the last 12 months
so sorry for your loss, mate. I'm speechless...
This has happened to me, same exact thing, I was at home and someone hit and run, unfortunately they had no license or insurance and was drunk, hope you get this all sorted mate it’s been a slow and draining experience
That is savage! Really unlucky, I hope something good comes out of this for you. I would cry if somebody did that to mine tbh.
Damn man that sucks so hard but at least you never got hurt bruv🙏🏽
Oh Brett. Gutted about your car but glad no one was hurt. New car, new beginning.
Bummer mate. Don't be discouraged it's all a part of the grind, ups & downs along the way.
A bit harsh on the Woman, she must have been shaken by the accident and just lost one of her pets, I hope that in this situation I would have been more sympathetic.
She never even came and spoke to me once, She never said and single word and she did get her cat back
I've just recived my brand new 2018 bmw 120i yesterday and I was wondering about you mate. I'm really sorry about the accident..., wish everything is going to be allright and keep it up man. Greatings from your Spanish suscriber!
Gutted for you bro. Makes my heart drop thinking it could ever happen to mine
So gutting mate, when put your heart and sole into a nice decent car so annoying and upsetting.but the positive no one was injured. Be looking forward to your pick up video of the replacement car you decide on.
I feel this.
Last week someone hit my car and it’s absolutely gutting.
Wish all the best
So sorry for you mate. Didn‘t see that one coming. I would love to see a 340i F30 on your channel. I think it would fit you very nicely. Hope you stay with BMW…
Silvia s15, unreal car, can even make a “learning to drift” series
Hi mate - Just discovered your channel, had an accident and lost my BMW F30 three months ago. Similar damage, had somebody pull out on me. I’ve been paid out for it and now I’m looking to the future.

Sorry to hear the news about your M140😢 it’s my dream car ever
No ideal :(
So sorry about the car mate,but at least no one was hurt,looking forward to seeing what car you get next.Hopefully better luck with that one.
Gutted for ya mate, luckily no one was hurt tho. Onto bigger and better things pal 👍🏽
Head up mate, onto bigger and better things🆙
2 years ago had a 1st car crashed when my car was stationary. At 40mph zone. Ive got a 3rd car now. Luckly since 2 years no more crash. But i hope it doesnr happen to nobody.
“The cat legged it”😂😂
Awk man sorry to hear about ur car and girl man. Head up chief, life always keeps on going bro and we are along for it. Stay strong 💪🏻.
Sorry to hear about this mate. You really have been unlucky. What's your thoughts on a 340i/440i. I think they're sick personally.
And this is why I never park my BMW on the road even for 5mins. People like this woman shouldn’t be driving cars on public roads. Feel sorry for these two dogs and cat😞
I know exactly how you feel mate I got a brand new 70 plate polo R-line in orange in November and I loved it and about 3 months ago it was written off because a lorry on the motorway didn’t check his blind spot and totally destroyed my car. But you’ve just got to keep your chin up mate and keep on moving forward 👍🏻x
Sorry for your loss bro, things will be better soon🙏🏻 You should get an N55 M2👌🏻
Gutted mate. Really was looking forward to the content. Try a 340i FWD can put down some serious power.
Bad luck mate , definitely not your fault , lets hope you have better fortune with your new car !
Maybe a 3 Series ? l am on my 3rd and they a fantastic car .
Oh my!!! This is so incredibly sad …. So sorry. Love your channel 😭
I reckon the cupra becomes your next project, would love to see that! Rip the 140 tho
Sorry to hear about your crash, I would love to see a 3 series as it has a lot of upgrade/molding potential and it’s something different to a 1series
At least you weren't in the car mate. Unlucky pal.
You bought a grey F10 M5
As a fellow m140 enthusiast that left me shook to see. I would of been so angry at that woman. Im sure didn't wanna be in accident either but her car would of been worth less than a quarter of yours and very easily replaced. People think they are just cars but to us they mean so much more and she won't get that. Glad you got the pay out though, keep your head up mate 👍
I just got one last month. Get another mate, last of a dying breed 👍
Oh my god, so sorry mate😭😭😭
Unlucky mate, it’s devastating when you get crashed into or have a crash. I know the feeling. Look forward to the new car! Golf R? Rs3?
Sorry to hear about the car bud.
A good bmw I recommend you is the E9x m3 with the v8 that you put a super charger on it and easy make 600whp and reliable engine if you replace the rod bearing on them
That’s peak mate. I would be distraught if that happened to my 118i, never mind if I had an m140i. Good to hear you had a good payout tho.
Oh dear Brett talk about unlucky! Hope you manage to get another car similar soon!
Dont worry about it my cousin has bought it and is going to take good care of it
Oh this is devastating to watch! RIP the M140 - I've just had mine crashed into by a foreign lorry so know the pain and hassle !
Oh no! It's not nice is it
This hurt to watch! I’ve just got my dream car this year before I turned 24 and couldn’t imagine I’d handle it as well as you have if this was to happen to me!
I have a 2016 F80 M3. If it’s in budget M2 or M3 I’d say is what you should get, but sure what ever you get will be bigger and better.
Also a massive BMW geek myself so can relate!

I guess she was tending to her pets at speed, distracted, eating, not paying attention and driving too fast. Please get another Bmw to mod. A new positive chapter and way forward in your life. Learn from the experience plus your bmw knowledge.Times a healer. I’ve had this happen several times to me. I fully sympathise. Looking forward to your next Bmw mission. Chin up. Your channel and content is totally awesome, so genuine and down to earth. U.K. supports you. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
So sorry man. That truly is a bad bad day! But like you say, it could have been much worse! I just bought a 2019 M240i coupe and for reasons of my own selfishness, I’d love to see you in that car! Man that would be awesome 👏 to follow along and pick up some tips. Only my second BMW purchase at 59, but totally enjoying this ride!
So sad that more and more drivers are becoming ignorant to their driving these days. Anyone that appreciates driving and understands cars will have significantly less crashes. Bless your good friends and family 👏. Bless you for your bad luck brother, big sympathy for you and hope you get everything set straight and the bad luck stops 😅.
never say sorry after a crash you accept liability
I hope this goes some way to making you feel like your not the only one with horrendous bad luck. I bought a bmw 335d m sport paid £30k cash. Paid £600 to upgrade the brake pads all round with endless blue stuff pads. Took the car out to bed the brakes in and on the way back struck a pot hole deep enough to bury someone in. Totally obliterated a £780 alloy wheel and damaged the rear wheel on the same side. Got the vehicle recovered. After forking out £1700 to make the car roadworthy and nearly a year of pursuing the roads department they found themselves not to be at fault as they were not aware of the incident prior to it occurring 😂😂😂. Then over the following three months on the same stretch of road my windscreen was cracked by a flying object off the back of an hgv. Same road. Same circumstances. Three windscreens later!!
So sorry to hear mate I would be devastateded too mate, hope you are okay sorry u have been having shite luck .
Well i didn't know it was crashed until now and really didn't expect it, the 140s are so nice especially that one with how personal it was. I think a good replacement for it could be a new new gen ford mustang.
Best thing is that your safe and not hurt love you bro❤
Sorry mate excited to see what you buying next
atleast you werent in the car like people always say u can replace the car but no the person
Feel so bad for you man!
So sad but so glad your ok and you weren’t hurt ❤️ xx
Hope your all good mate
That must’ve been heartbreaking af. If that happened to my 07 3 series I’d be devastated. Can’t imagine m140 :(
Devastated and very sorry for you mate but onwards and upwards though. I’m thinking you might get an E92 M3 or E60 M5 next.
maybe ;)
My heart sunk when I saw this months back. Glad it paid out etc 🙌
sad to hear that happened mate. must have felt real bad to have your pride and joy just taken away from you like that. at least you’re not hurt as you’re not even in the car.
as for your next ride, maybe a F3x? a 340i or 440i?
I remember back in 2018 I just got a Astra GTC and less than a month later someone smashes into me in a Lidl car park in the pouring rain. He tried to drive off. I ran straight in front of his car. I was pissed off. He got out and tried to wipe the massive dents in my car away with T-Cut😒. This pissed me off even more. Sent an entire video to my insurance company and they saw how scratched up and dented his car was. I’ve had four accidents and they’ve all hit me. Never lost my no claims though
S3 saloon with the virtual cockpit🔥🔥
hope you’re okay mate 👍🏼
Mate any setback is just setting you up for something better. This same situation happened to my girlfriend last year (parked, crushed against a curb by someone driving too fast in the snow, snapped rear axle) and the insurance payout was good enough to upgrade to a better car. Content for us youtubers at the end of the day, sucks that you lost your pride and joy but onwards and upwards. Glad you're doing alright, and I'll forgive you for calling my Cupra boring 😜
Gutted mate! Only Just found your channel as I’ve just bought a m140i! Enjoyed your videos. Get an m2!
dont worry bro. everything happens for a reason. i know your gonna comeback 10 times better. 👌
Sorry for your loss bro, like the old saying one mans loss is another mans gain. New owner is going to have a lot of fun in it once it’s back on the rd. For your new car I’d say get a M2 competition pack in a Hockenheim Silver😍
