The exhaust sounds amazing! I feel like you shouldn't add the widebody fenders and just do some carbon bits like a front lip and rear diffuser then she will look mint!
No better way to watch a Matt Armstrong video than sat in benalmadena, makes me feel like a big kid getting excited when the notifications come through ☀️🇪🇸
It always worked great in my M140i 😁 mine wasn’t tuned though and yes expecting it to launch like an RS3 will lead to disappointment. It still wasn’t bad though
@@Holdeenio I always tend to just brake boost mine, only used launch control a few times but I find it’s quicker just giving it like 1.5k revs and letting off the brake in sports +
@@Henrik5360 No it isn’t. Not every car needs a wide front and rear, that’s just the standard way of doing things. This is a special kind of project and the combination of it all suits it well. The wider arches are just going to ruin the rest of the “lines”.
@@jsl82837 no they aren’t buddy? The front wheels are very slightly into the arch by a few mm. Widening the rear arch so close to rear door is a bad idea.
@@sidrens5292 the car has a wider body in the front than the rear, and with the spacers to compensate for that they now are wider out in the front than in the rear, it needs to be wider in the rear.
Mat, no need to widen the rear. It looks amazing as it is now, although, how about replacing the rear lights with the type you got for the M4? This exhaust looks fantastic! Just wrap it and you're done on this one! 👌👌👌👌
Mate this has got to be hands down the best uk car channel on RUclips. Followed you from the start, found your channel when I was looking up lowering spring fitment to a golf years ago. Only channel I actually watch religiously. Deserve every success mate!
Hi Mat, These have the B58 engine in which is shared with the BMW M240i and the toyota Supra, not forgeting various other BMW's, the B58 in these is set to 340 bhp but more often than not puts out 360+bhp in stock form, one guy i know got 372 bhp (or there abouts) on 2 different dynos, with a stage 1 remap 410+ is very obtainable, stage 2 which is what you are nearly at should see you around the 465+ bhp area!
Love the sound of the new exhaust and downpipe, Once your fitted the Downpipe the turbo spool sounded even better!!! You absolutely right that’s how M140i should sound from the factory. 🔥🔥🔥
I am a huge 140i fan and I love what you have done with it. Even the M2 part give this car a new fresh look. Bro the 4 pipe insane. I have always imaged this car with 4 pipes and today you made my dreams come true.
Nailed it with the exhaust. As far as the bodywork goes just wrap it or paint it. Don’t wide body it. Also don’t worry about the hub centric spacers. They’re not driven wheels at the end of the day.
I’ve seen stock m140i read over 360bhp when run on premium fuel ⛽️… with an off the shelf stage 1 map they can hit over 410bhp so the B58 engine is a complete beast 👌🏼 with your exhaust mods, if you do the intake too and stage 2 you’ll hit 450bhp no sweat. That’s why this is a fantastic daily.
Mate that car is sounding mint, don't ruin the rear leave it and wrap it in a matt electric blue with carbon accents. So love watching your builds coming along and now with Hannah aswell it's double the fun!! Keep the amazing content coming.
That exhaust looks damn fine and sounds even better....if it were my choice I wouldn't fit the wide arches, far to much hassle for little gain. I think, once you've wrapped it it's going to look mint....👌
She looks great Matt wheel spacers are ace . Great job on the exhaust.My opinion is don’t touch the wheel arches. Can’t wait to see what you do with the exterior another wrap ? 👍👍
Nice Mat, I like 👌🏽 Keep the shape simplistic, it already looks insane bro. Have it colored up and see, I think it's gonna look pretty original and sick 🔥 If it were in my books; this project is done son! 😎
The sound of the exhaust is sick, I have a feeling that the final output will be very special! Your content is just on another level , keep up with the good work!
Matt, are you keeping this one? It’s got your plate on it!!! Love all your vids, been watching since your black 1er, keep up the energy and sometimes craziness going
Don’t think he will really keep any of the cars it doesn’t make sense for him to keep them for the content he always has to buy , repair , modify , sell he uses the money from the sales of each car to buy his next project
@@jonawilk he does keep some for longer than others like the Maserati has been here for a long time all the cars he had when he got the Maserati are gone now so
Now the spacers are on it brings the whole front end together, looks wicked! IMO you don't need widened rear arches. Just leave the front wide AF. Hey, if the 'only flared front arches' look was good enough for the Audi S3 8L, it's good enough for this :D
there will be alot of drone. i have done both my N55 335i and B58 240i. best sound but alot of drone when cruising or low gear underload. if you can, id recommend a valvetronic system. done both my cars, never going back. sounds beautiful man
As an M140i owner, this has honestly put mine to shame! You’ve convinced me to get a new exhaust system now mate ahaha can’t wait for the rest of the build!
Leave the arches the rear bumper has done a job at making it look all balanced and aggressive front and rear. Love to see this wrapped in a satin red or purple with the bronze alloys to match the m4
12:45 Best way to test the exhaust, drive around a town center and if the old folk put their hands over their ears, then you know you have a loud exhaust LOOOL.
Matt when doing an oil service on this be careful with undoing the oil filter. This engine is known for having the oil filter and the housing crumbling into pieces when undoing it and if that falls in or is hard to remove out of the engine. The whole housing must be replaced and cleaned. Little heads up bro its very common
These videos are brilliant. Can I make one suggestion though. Is it possible to number your clips to it makes it easier to search for them and watch chronologically. Brilliant work though Matt and keep up the good work.
Looks better with 30mm spacers. A lot of people say fitting spacers causes problems for the geometry set up . I have had 30mm all round on my RRS and never had a problem .
Sounds like my old ibiza pd130 on tick over with the downpipe 👍 sounds mint i recon you shouldnt wide arch bike and black ⚫whole thing out blowers they are mince golf rs etc stage one 🤘
Deffo need the wide rear arches! They’ll look awesome. Prob all could’ve got away with 35mm spacers on front, think 40mm would’ve been pushing it a bit.
Looks good already. I'd be tempted to go super aggressive murdered out look with Arches and all matt black and tint all windows and do a wiper delete at the back

Stick the car in sports plus, move the gearbox into sport (but not manual) then hold on left foot brake, max gas and it’ll engage launch control 🚀
Launch control isn’t that good on this since it’s rwd so not much point in it

Sack the wide rear arches off, looks sick already
Yea, he just needs to paint or wrap it in one colour and gad damn it’s going to look hot
It is super weird that the front is wider then the rear?! He should definently go with the wide rear arches

front and rear should have about the same width at the moment. he could replace the spacers with m2 suspension geometry tho.
@@Henrik5360 looking at it it does not seem like the front is wider than the rear.
Don’t wide arch it, I’ll look good once it all one colour
I think he should because the front wheels are now sticking out more than the back ones and that’s no good

Thought I was the only one with that view
Totally agree. The rear end on them standard looks wide as f#ck anyway
Totally 🔥😎
Totally agree, no need for the rear widening. It looks great now, just go on with the cosmetic look now, colours
Car looks banging just wrap it/ paint match it all and start doing power mods, wide body will ruin it

I agree

needs lowering some more imo
