The B58 is definitely a beast 💪 It's literally built like a tank and can take plenty of power. Get the M340i, they seem to be coming down in price too 🇵🇸 💪
@@PerformanceLifestyles problem with the M340i is they are X drive, I want fully rwd for the skids lol, better steering feel too when the front wheels aren't driven.
The C63 for noise over the M3 but both of them over the M140i for noise (OEM). But for fun I personally prefer the M140i, it's more up to date and best of all its boosted so you don't have to hammer them to get them going 💪😁
You are in a very unique position so I don't blame you for not wanting one. I'd recommend trying one at some point though as 500bhp + from a standard B58 is very tempting and very quick 😁🔥
@@PerformanceLifestyles but they struggle to put the power down. I have a 330d also with a hybrid turbo and if it not dry and above 10° its useless even with a LSD. But it is a very exciting drive 😎
It's night and day mate. Even if both these cars are in stock form, the BMW runs rings around the Audi in terms of driving dynamics. 50/50 weight distribution, low seating position.
@@neil5242 tbh mate i havent driven one so i cant really comment on driving dynamics but the S3 i have has had almost everything upgraded so it doesnt handle like a stock car
@@PerformanceLifestylesSorry for the very late reply I'm just watching the video again and I'm from Coventry ur videos are great keep up the great work
Mate this guy just pure waffle scared of the car repeats himself over n over cant really describe the car as should be was looking forward to watching an amazing car he ruined it over n over never watch him again
Jesus Christ everywhere I look there’s a dead ting m140i video on RUclips 😅😂😂 Everyone is obsessed with them who can’t afford a proper M car or an rs3 or Mercedes etc. They are good for getting power out of them but they are just a cheap clapped out 1 series with a big engine. A 17 year old on minimum wage could afford 1. 😂🤣
You funny guy 🤣 The M140 is a mega car and I'm sure many of the owners have had / have a 'proper' car too. The M2C is a better car (I have owned one too before I became poor 😳) The M140 is more fun than a RS3 IMO (not knocking the RS3 in any way!)
@@PerformanceLifestyles Why the hell would you go from an ‘M’ car to an ‘m-lite’ car 🙁😳 I had an m140i years ago and it was mega fast when I had it stage 2+ would keep up/beat most cars I raced from c63 S to rs6’s to Porsche 992 carerra S turbo etc. But the way it handled and drove was terrible. Like I said, a clapped out 1 series for people who can’t afford a proper ‘M’ car or an Audi RS car or a Merc AMG car etc. They are like £15-16k now so you could buy them at like 17-20 years old as you see most kids who live at home with their parents drive them 🤣
@benhattersley8841 🤣 I just like to try out different cars 😎 Handling can be sorted on the M140, but in standard form they aren't great in that department! I'm still to see a 17 year old with a M140...... 😁
So I've watched 3 different 140 videos and low and behold this guy's in the comments slagging them, did you get smoked by a 140 and it's just that much on your mind you go around commenting shite on people's videos? Or are you just that sad you have nothing better to do
Love a 140i the B58 is a beast! I keep getting drawn to 340i's too as a daily with a bit more space. 🇵🇸

@@FK2VtecTurbo yeah thats true. The XDrive does feel different. Get a 340i and stage 2 it...absolutely bonkers bro 🤣
The best hot hatch ever especially with lsd suspension upgrade and front braces m4!
Definitely! I've driven quite a few different hatches and this was something I've always wanted to try. Even without the LSD it's a great car 🔥
Bro I am glad I found your channel really loving the content I am on my 3rd video so far 👍🏾
Awesome mate, I really appreciate that. 👍 plenty of performance reviews on the channel 😎
I’d be intrigued to know how you compare this too a w204 c63, or an e92 m3
Looking at these three as a next car hopefully

I had a passenger ride in an M140i last week. It's an insane car, even if it's stock.
Definitely mate. If you ever get the chance to go in a tuned one, try it as it's a completely different animal! Hope you are good 👍
@PerformanceLifestyles yeah definitely need a ride a more modified one. Also, are you going to tegiwa this Sunday.
@SupercarsofCheshire. they are a blast!
Is there a cars and coffee on Sunday?
@PerformanceLifestyles Yes at the tegiwa import hq on Sunday
@@SupercarsofCheshire. I'll see if I can pop over 👍
Wicked video 👌🏼
Thanks bro 👍
Never been in M140, guessing tuned is quicker than M2C.
Quicker than a standard M2C but not by much. The M2C gets the power down better especially if the 140 doesn't have a LSD
Good video. Don't boot it through residential areas though mate. Giving us M140i owners a bad name. Cheers.
@neil5242 point taken bro. Thanks for the kind words
Those are not digital dials. They appear to be but they are just back lit.
Exactly that. But I believe they are called digital dials in the M140 world.
I could be wrong though 🤔
❤❤❤
Whys it for sale already?
It was a car I always wanted to try and hasn't disappointed! Need a more practical motor!
Ive got an Audi s3 from 2001 with 440hp and 4wd that is lighter than a m140 so i just dont see the point in owning one of these

This is one of my top 5 cars guess the place 👀
These at stage 2 are brutal and fun cars to drive 👌 Definitely one of my favourites too 💪
Are you local to Burton on Trent?

@jammy1551 no problem 😊
Thanks again. Have you got a M140?
@@PerformanceLifestyles nah I cant even drive yet it's one if my dream cars to get and my cousin has an m135i and hes selling it
