*Owner of this M140 asked me to shoot this video!
With the recent launch of the brand new Lci 2 (life cycle injection) BMW 1 series, I thought i'd shoot a quick video showing you guys what the main differences are compared to the previous 1 series. This isn't a review or road test because I recently did that on a Lci 1 2017 M140i (link below). In terms of driving dynamics, the M140i remains unchanged.
2017 M140i Review Video - • BMW M140i Review - M24...
Special thanks to Tony Lewis (TRL) & Berry BMW Heathrow for their stunning 2017/2018 BMW M140i Shadow Edition -
Website - www.berryheathr...
If you want a BMW (not just M lites), drop Tony an email and quote my name for the best deals, his Email - TRLdeals@outlook.com
Tony will always give you the best possible deal, he doesn't have time to mess you around and spends loads of time online so is fully aware of what he's up against, I would say he's responsible for well over 50% of M lite sales alone in the UK.

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Doh! You're 100% right :-)

@indelebilis11 7 лет назад

my 1 series has bad sound insulation and a lot of wind noise. Doors are also loud when driving on road bumps. I am pretty disappointed but it drives nicely.

@kovenant9460 7 лет назад

Mine has runflat tires so that definitely affects it a lot, but after 2 years that noise on the doors is getting worse and worse, but i do have to recognize roads on my country are terrible, everytime i take it to bmw for service they lubricate the doors but after a couple of weeks the noise is back again, we never had this issue with our mercedes GLK or with a new audi A4 i do think BMW lags a bit in that regard it is making the same noises as a Chevy Cruze and that is not good.

@indelebilis11 7 лет назад

and also windshield wipers are programmed very badly. For light rain they run too fast and manual adjustment when scrolling button there is no difference in speed. Just annoying.

@ABusAndBeyond 7 лет назад

For ages I've been trying to work out what to replace my Mini Cooper S with. Your videos have helped me place a deposit on a Shadow Edition M140i for a fantastic price! Can't wait to get it in 3 weeks time. Thank you Joe. Love the content!

@markrhoden68 5 лет назад

Ordered mine today 19th April 19. Deposit contribution from dealer and BMW are massive and PX was also well above what I'd have got via private sale....didn't even pay pre delivery deposit although you do have to be willing to negotiate hard. Shadow edition is a no brainer like the man said. I've gone for Melbourne red with the black alloys with oyster seats.....brightens up a dark interior. Really pleased with my choice, saying that maybe it would have been a good idea to test drive one first. Get one now as they'll soon be gone as will the deals, replacement is imminent 4 cylinder turbos with no rwd, end of an era. #tooexcited

@paulmanghan4333 7 лет назад

Hey Joe, Just started watching your videos and find them to be fantastic! It's nice to see someone review cars who focuses more on the car than themselves in their reviews. You seem to know your stuff and obviously, having owned very similar cars, you can give your well thought out opinions, which is different to most car reviewers!

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Cheers Paul, glad you found my channel! Yeah I'm not too self obsessed like many other "Car" RU-vidrs. I basically love cars and driving :-) Cheers

@akaflash76 7 лет назад

Love that Sunset Orange colour! The new dials look good too!

@jimmymoody9595 6 лет назад

That is a quality colour scheme going on. The red goes so well with the magnolia seats and the black gloss trim. Absolutely beautiful.

@wadebeaumont5264 7 лет назад

Amazing how a few minor changes makes the interior look so much classier. Just a great car especially for the money. Geez Joe your vids are pretty slick these days mate!

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Haha thanks Wade, this was a real quick bodge of a video, i've watched it back and I cant make sense of myself haha. Cheers

@georgeferrison1 7 лет назад

I'm struggling to understand why this video has 7 dislikes. One of my favorite youtubers

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Cheers man, loads of haters out there unfortunately :-(

@Peebooo 7 лет назад

i understand

@tomabbott9221 7 лет назад

Hi Joe. Picked myself up a M240i LCI2 yesterday from TRL. Went for the adaptive too based on your advice. Now to run it in and let the fun begin! Thanks for all the great content, keep it up!

@Nilex2140 7 лет назад

Thanks for "reviewing" the shadow edition, im soo in love since i saw the release movie from BMW.

@ryhanchoudhury1023 7 лет назад

Absolutely lovely car. The spec is spot on with this new shadow edition and the upgrades to the dash in my opinion were much needed to modernise the 1 series and bring them more in line with the other series cars. Lovely!

@gogs9240 6 лет назад

Hey Joe been been watching your videos on the M140i, great in depths reviews which made me go buy one I pick it up Friday and I absolutely cannot wait. Never driven rear wheel drive for (apart from the test drive).

@JoeAchilles1 6 лет назад

Congratulations buddy! Thanks for watching my stuff and supporting my channel :-)

@gogs9240 6 лет назад

Cheers can’t remember which video but you mentioned about getting CarPlay coded in, how do I go about this?

@dominiccook12 7 лет назад

Puts my 135 to shame, although I must say I think I would agree with you on those indicators, I don't think I could get used to those at all!

@TheBTRGarage 7 лет назад

Wow that thing is sharp looking! Good stuff Joe!

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Cheers buddy :-)

@mbp1505 7 лет назад

Thanks again Joe. Heard of the 'shadow' edition a couple of weeks ago and wasn't sure what it was. Thanks for explaining.

@stevenrotherforth8332 6 лет назад

Love the look of this car Joe. Your video convinced me to go order one exactly like the one in your video. Can’t wait. I currently have a 125d M Sport so the noise alone is going to be fantastic. Keep doing the videos mate you’re one of the best reviewers on RU-vid 👍

@petebarnes2485 7 лет назад

Just ordered EB with the 719m black alloys, there's been a few haters of the alloys but whenever I see that combo I must say it looks awesome. Just my opinion of course. Love the videos.

@paulwood862 6 лет назад

Me too - look stunning with the orange, they greys just didn’t fit with all the other black detailing (black gloss front grills). Treated myself to MPE too

@petripaa 7 лет назад

Thanks for the video / review. This is excellent. This is the first one I've seen which actually covers the changes in the car. It also highlights the changes which are in 2-series LCI (like indicator switches and new black panel dash). I also like your other reviews. Keep up with the good job!

@ayem8320 6 лет назад

I’m glad the have upgraded the dials on the inside of the car looks so much better

@joespavin3792 7 лет назад

Nice review Joe. The 'Shadow edition' just sounds like a rehash of the 'Sport plus' package (Harmon Kardon, privicy glass, different wheels etc.) with a few more external colour changes. Still a nice combination and love the stitching detail on the dash. The black wheels always look better in the flesh than on camera.

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Cheers man! Yeah the interior is definitely nicer, I'm not convinced by the new wheels, I would still go with the 436 style. Cheers

@tristandrew5903 5 лет назад

I have a 19 plate Black M140i Shadow on its way from the port and I can't wait! For the deal BMW were offering on a brand new car of this spec, performance and comfort it couldn't be matched for me. Won't be too many new cars made with RWD and 6 cylinders in future unfortunately.

@xplanet2112 5 лет назад

Thanks for doing the video, I\ve just ordered an M Sport Shadow edition with heated seats in black, I can’t wait!

@cristianpop5791 7 лет назад

Perfect hatchback. I like the exterior and interior color combination on this one. That engine sounds very good.

@stirky08 7 лет назад

love the sunset orange but i personally prefer the old valancia orange, which my car is in ;) haha

@kmack5799 7 лет назад

Another great video. I love the new dash as it looks much more premium...

@SuperKojak2009 7 лет назад

HI Joe, fantastic video, really enjoy your down to earth presentation. I'm picking up my new M140i Shadow Edition in the Sunset Orange mid september and I can't wait. Love all your videos. Thanks for making them. Very informative. Take care.

@steverogers6921 7 лет назад

The changes look great Joe but not sure about the black wheels they look cheap to me. Keep up the good work.

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Yeah I'm not sure of the black wheels either!

@paulwood862 6 лет назад

Black wheels look much better than the standard

@rustystuff 7 лет назад

Lovely spec buddy, great colour works well with the new black wheels! Totally agree with the new dash, looks much more premium 😎. Great video as usual chap, see ya soon 🤛👍

@GBFeb72 7 лет назад

Great vid again Joe. My140 is 5 months old I wish I'd held on as the Shadow Edition looks good

@flos_01 7 лет назад

This is my dream car! It's just perfect.

@michaelparris7985 7 лет назад

Thanks for the information, my M135i will be due for renewal soon, love it so will probably change to the M140i and the shadow Ed. looks great minus the black wheels. Can also do without a touch screen as it will always have fingerprints on it and I can't be doing with that! Hopefully it is still fully controllable from the idrive on the transmission tunnel.

@kovenant9460 7 лет назад

As always love your videos, i have been trying to get an m135i or m235i but used car prices are over the roof in my country, dont even wanna talk about new...

@DSCMBOBULTD 7 лет назад

They could have blacked the front air vents and mirrors

@tommylee8291 7 лет назад

Thanks for your impressions - this is the first non official video on RU-vid of a sunset orange 1 series. The color looks awesome to me. Would you also go for it or choose a different paint for your daily?

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Cheers Tommy, I'm probably not brave enough to go Sunset Orange, it was lovely in the flesh though.

@njitram2000 6 лет назад

That's a very nice colour. Mine is Valencia Orange, which I have grown to like more since I received the car and was slightly disappointed but given the choice, I would have gone with this one instead.

@Youtubedotcomma 7 лет назад

Looks ace inside! And about time too! Not sure on the flow of the centre vent trim to the passenger vent stopping half way looks odd rest is good tho. I feel an upgrade coming soon 🤗

@markaston755 6 лет назад

Love that dash panel and the white stitched dash looking good shame they have not still changed the 436

@steffydog 6 лет назад

HK audio, and bird poop on rear window he he, another quality video.

@smilly9 7 лет назад

Not a fan of the new indicators as I had the old 1 Series for 3 years and now with the new ones they are annoying. Good to see somebody has actually reviewed the new design, not seen any other videos as yet.

@ItzSkyyylineeeBabyyy 5 лет назад

I’ve ordered a 5 door M140i shadow edition sunset orange with oyster interior probably will look like this, I didn’t know the sunset orange looked more red than orange ?

@Holdeenio 7 лет назад

Great package and oddly enough, all the options I specified on my LCI m140i 😑

@deinpapii 7 лет назад

Nice Video Joe! But you forgot the new window-opener-button ;) Greetings from Cologne, Germany

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Ohh are the window buttons different? Sorry I didn't notice haha

@CarObsession 7 лет назад

Great amount of view Joe, well done!

@fojji4218 7 лет назад

Excellent video Joe. Thanks alot for this; It's made me want my next one even more!

@keithmac3185 7 лет назад

Great video, really useful to know the differences as I'm hopefully gonna get my hands on one

@ChrisDorgan 7 лет назад

Would have blacked out the silver bits above the air intakes on the front of the car as well. Make them look bigger from a distance. Oooosh you've just opened the door... not sure I'm a fan of that cream leather on the red/orange car haha! Dash looks great, wish they had done that on the M2's (pre LCI)

@ChrisDorgan 7 лет назад

Typical dealership leaving it empty on fuel as well :P

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Haha yeah we filled it up ready for the customer to collect ;-) (PS he gave us permission to film his car)

@jarvisojofeitimi8676 7 лет назад

Just picked up my M2 from Berry Heathrow the day before this video was published. I know Joe has an M2 as Well. Would love to meet up Joe as you know these machines well. Give me a shout buddy

@tan9640 6 лет назад

The alloys are so blunt! Amazing car none the less

@johneagles4068 7 лет назад

Informative video, interesting to see the differences. I wouldn't of been happy if that was my car though!

@richards4456 7 лет назад

Before this the indicator stalk always returned to its home position when pressed. Not sure that I like the LCI 2 conventional method. Update - drove a brand new 118i m sport tonight. The i-drive wheel feels a bit cheaper and the click motion is cheaper feeling/sounding. This and the indicator and wiper stalks feel like a cost down however the BC button feels nicer.

@rafiulhaque8064 7 лет назад

Have you seen the video of a M140i with over 500hp driven by a 74 year old

@dunnyzed6953 7 лет назад

That old boy is a proper legend 👍🏻😂

@simonnewman8344 7 лет назад

What an old cool dude! He will live another 30years cos of that thing keeping him young ;-)

@moleBRUV 7 лет назад

Been waiting for a Shadow Edition video mate! Liking the new interior upgrades and that instrument cluster is 👌🏻 But did the pencil break when they were designing the passenger side dash trim? 😂 Also why are the rear brake and indicator bulbs still halogen?! Did Tony hint at any more LCI2 special editions down the line before the new 4 cyl is released next year?

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Haha I have to agree with you there! Shame no LED rears, you would think that was definitely going to happen for Lci 2. He didn't say he knew about anymore upgrades/models. Cheers

@moleBRUV 7 лет назад

Joe Achilles Tell me about it! I spent £120 changing all my halogen bulbs for error free LEDs haha, yet Peugeout's even come with full LEDs now 😣😂 Really want to see a shadow in the flesh 👌🏻

@wubwubwubwub 6 лет назад

I know your comment is from a while ago but would you mind telling me what LEDs you found that were error-free for the F20 LCI? I'll be getting my M140i soon and the only thing that bothers me are those cheapo turn indicators, looking really nasty for a 2018 car. I'd love to spend those ~150€ for a way more up-to-date-look

@Ecosse57 7 лет назад

wish they offered the 1 series in the usa. i guess the market here doesn't appreciate an up scale hatch.

@ExtremeDeathman 7 лет назад

Hm, all the options you mentioned are not stock in Germany's Shadow Edition. I'll get 1 in a couple of months and I'll do a video about it.

@jernichols 7 лет назад

Great work as always mate 👍🏻

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Cheers James

@CarFinanceSimplified 7 лет назад

Great vid again Joe. Crazy to think that adding the shadow edition £1300 option actually increases the PCP GFV value by over £2k! Never seen this ever before where you are effectively paying less money a month for an option! Unfortunately I got my M140 two weeks before the LCI2 was announced.

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Cheers buddy! Yeah madness that Shadow cars cost less than regular now on PCP, shame you missed out, but I'm sure you're still a very happy man :-)

@CarFinanceSimplified 7 лет назад

Joe Achilles Crazy that the shadow edition is something like (minus) £25 a month!

@charliesimpson598 7 лет назад

Good video joe , nice work 👍👍👍

@maenuuu 7 лет назад

Hey Joe, you have forgotten the most important change from the LCI II: finally a propper oil temperature gaige! 😀

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Haha yeah I forgot a few bits, I wouldn't call it a proper gauge, it should be a permanent gauge on the dash, but you're right, at least you can see it via the menus now. Cheers

@andyneocleous 7 лет назад

is it the same as the M2 guage: low/medium/high only?

@Shakeydavemajor 7 лет назад

Pick my new 140 shadow up 1st sept, cant wait.

@cleaveddeimo3579 7 лет назад

I have to wait until 20. sept :(

@SuperKojak2009 7 лет назад

David Currie Hi Dave, I'm getting my new M140i Shadow Edition mid Sept. What colour you gone for?

@Shakeydavemajor 7 лет назад

Went for white with the black alloys. Cant wait ,such a rare car. Especially in Shadow. 2 weeks to go now, will post vids on here when I get it. Drove them at Knockhill on a BMW invite day, so much more fun than the M3, M4. What colour did you pick?

@andreyzamytskyy 7 лет назад

Jeez... Which branch of halfords did those wheels come from exactly...?

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Haha Brilliant! I have to agree ;-)

@witnesspropro 7 лет назад

I'm pretty sure the standard Navigation on the M140i Shadow Edition is the 6.5" non touch screen version.

@RobBoothAutomotive 7 лет назад

I never realised the 1 series had frameless windows, quite unique for a hatch.

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Only on the 3 door like this, the 5 doors have pillars

@MrPants1970 6 лет назад

Good video, can I ask is Tony really a legend?

@dominikh.7324 7 лет назад

Nice Video ! Please more about the m140i shadow Edition :-)!

@verushaishwar7077 7 лет назад

Hi Joe; I work in rental. Drive the whole range on daily basis... I hate those new indicator stalks.

@joebloggs4191 7 лет назад

I like everything about the new black edition except two things those black wheels and that colour! but that's just my personal preference.

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Yeah not a fan of the black wheels either

@MrDanioDomingues 7 лет назад

Love it! Great vid brother

@Si-Drive 7 лет назад

Absolutely love your videos Joe! Is this M140i in the Sunset Orange? If so what's the colour like in the flesh? Loved Valencia Orange but my dealer said they wouldn't do it on the M240i and it looks like you can now get this Sunset Orange colour on one!

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Cheers buddy! Yeah this is Sunset Orange, I really liked it! Not sure on the black wheels though, I would go orbit 436 wheel option. Cheers

@Si-Drive 7 лет назад

Joe Achilles thanks Joe - your videos are at least half of the reason my next car will be an M240i :) don't stop making them!

@paulwood862 6 лет назад

SO is a beautiful colour - see it in the flesh and you will spec it. Best colour they do

@inorbit64 7 лет назад

is that melbourne red? i was in doubt for minutes and my m140i is melbourne red. come drive my m140 with OS Giken lsd Joe. Best upgrade for the m140i. Absolutely transformed the car. Even the sport+ mode is fun with the lsd.

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

This is in the brand new Sunset Orange colour. Yeah I've heard an LSD transforms the car ;-)

@inorbit64 7 лет назад

Joe Achilles oh sweet cool color. btw, after your comment about the big rear quarter pannel dwarfing the rear wheel, I mounted my e46 m3 19" wheels on the m140i rear and you know what. that does not even look weird at all. Put the original wheel back now though.

@speedster15 5 лет назад

Hi Great video. Can't believe no quick 3 flash indicators. Are you sure the option hasn't been switched off in the main menu? Just a thought as you will know more than I do. Decided M140i is the best hatch around.

@dynxx707 7 лет назад

Awesome Channel - great video Question: I've got an M240i on order and was waiting for a video of the interior to come out, other than the BMW released videos and this shows it perfectly. The digi speedo looks great. You mention the shadow line is available on the M140i and M240i - however I dont think it is on the M240i given the brochure and the car config? I love the darker lights on the shadowline and i've ticked ordered the options it comes with, but was never given the option for a shadowline. Do let me know what you think and if there is one - i need to get on the phone to change it!

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Cheers man! I assumed the M240i came with the shadow option, it turns out I'm wrong! Very odd that BMW didn't offer one, would have been a popular option I'm sure. Thanks for your support!

@lukemolyneux9393 7 лет назад

Again Joe another great review! How about m2 LCI review?

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

+Luke Molyneux Thank you! Who has a M2 LCi?

@lukemolyneux9393 7 лет назад

Joe Achilles I am currently awaiting delivery which will be a while of as you can imagine the build times :( however correct me if I'm wrong, are they not on the road yet?

@tristanbrown5636 6 лет назад

I love this look

@sueharmes9443 7 лет назад

Hi Joe great vid as ever :) If only that car looked better even with those Khan style wheels(remember them?) I had a 120d and never locked it and had a cheeky look back and I wouldnt with this ,nice colour mind. Frustrating car for me.Looks a lot like the "luxury" interior thats in the 330d Luxury How do you feel interior size wise re the 3 series Joe? I live near that Berrys tell him I hope to see him next year if hes still there he moves around a bit!

@dj331 6 лет назад

Lovely colour

@JonathanBlanks 7 лет назад

Have to agree on the LED comments, I just don't get why BMW aren't going full LED on all the lighting, and especially the rear turn signals. It's 2017 and they are falling way behind on this front. Also, its such a shame that the cloth/alcantara upholstery and xdrive aren't options available in the uk on the m140/m240, whereas they are elsewhere in Europe.

@edmarsilverio1572 6 лет назад

Great video. Thank you.! In your opinion , which car is more fun , the BMW 140i or the Audi rs 3? I'm in a doubt which one to buy

@15october91 7 лет назад

Joe your the man!

@BM_PAZ 7 лет назад

Personally I think they should have blacked out the wing mirrors and the bits on the bumper.

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Yeah agree! Personally I think the standard M140 looks better and far more subtle. But thats old man me haha

@1970boggy 7 лет назад

Nice one Joe, I'm after an M2 next however that look's a step up from my M240i (66)

@stuartsmith50 7 лет назад

Hey Joe! Great vid! Do you by any chance know what the extras are that you can't spec on a non shadow edition version but are in fact exclusive to the shadow? Cheers!

@markseale3235 7 лет назад

Great review Bro love your vids just one question does the shadow edition come with adaptive dampers? And difference does it make by having them? I'm looking to purchase one or a golf r can't make up my mind but if I go for the bmw your vids will have played it's part and I will start by talking to the guy you mentioned in your vlog thanx.

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Hey Mark, glad you like my stuff, thank you! Adaptive suspension is an option on the M140i/M140i Shadow, in my opinion the most important option to tick, makes a big difference to the quality of the ride and also gives a sportier option when pushing on. Cheers

@rickyhales5033 7 лет назад

Hi Joe, just gone from a M135i to a M140i Shadowline, great boss and a great BMW dealer, However what has changed with the gearing? Something's different? Just wondered if you had noticed a change??

@BrandonDmv 7 лет назад

I work for BMW and honestly hate the new indicator stalks. its really annoying and less intuitive like you said. and its all because people new to the brand were having a hard time with it -_-

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Such a shame :-(

@paulseagrove1480 7 лет назад

Sounds like the wiper stalk is a backward step to the days of my E46 323 where you moved the stalk to the first position to activate the intermittent wipe function. Much prefer the separate button (for the intermittent wipe) on the end of the stalk of my M135 as you can still use the single flick wipe downward stroke of the stalk without affecting the intermittent function.

@kemoduolonghh 7 лет назад

Nice review! Wondering if there is digital speedo reading in the middle bottom area of the new dashboard...?

@paullawrence4833 7 лет назад

Just ordered a M140i (Estoril Blue / Black Dakota / 436M Orbit Grey Alloys). The cabin is a little dark, whats the Oyster leather like to keep. Dealer warned me it needs constant upkeep to stop dye transfer from clothes etc.

@Grandmasterduke 7 лет назад

You can thank our american colleagues for the new indicator. Bmw started an inquiry about what they like and what not and lots of people stated that they are not able to use them intuitively (which i cannot understand). Btw I know that, because the old ones were produced 30m from my desk away. The new ones come from our czech subsidary I think. Whatever, we dont like the new ones either :)

@mothusimaake1566 7 лет назад

Nice vid Joe... love how informative you are. 1. Does it come in AWD & RWD? saw a picture of it with "xDrive" on the rear. 2. Do you know how long it'll be in production for before they release the new 1series ?

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

+Mothusi Maake Cheers! Only RWD in the UK, all new 1 series due 2019 ish

@tws989 7 лет назад

Looks amazing... So tempted so get one soon! Are the rear headlights LED in the UK?

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

I think the rears are still old fashioned bulbs actually!

@oliverrendall 7 лет назад

Still no water and/or water temp gauges? 🙈the one thing that bugged me on my M135i. Love the new facelift M140i though. Have you ever had a shot of a car equipped with the optional diff?

@23cmajor 7 лет назад

Hey Joe, great video, I've ordered the mineral grey one due in September! I noticed you say the nav is now touch screen does this only apply to the professional nav package or the basic also?

@JoeAchilles1 7 лет назад

Awesome man, bet you're excited! Touch nav is only on Pro nav. Cheers

@simonfearing4907 Год назад

Hi joe loving you m140 content I would love your expert advice on running and maintenance on an m140 it's the only thing that bothers me and is currently stopping me purchasing one . Is it expensive apart from fuel and insurance

@SPRCRS 7 лет назад

Cool vid Bro!

@z00h 7 лет назад

That's Melbourne Red right? Looks sexy AF I must say, although I wouldn't go for black wheels personally - ferric grey is much less drug dealer style.

@stirky08 7 лет назад

its sunset orange

Sunset Orange, yeah I would go Orbit Grey, not a fan of the black 719's

That must be a German kind of orange cause it looks bloody red on all my screens haha. Nice car nonetheless, the package is worth the money and the interior quality seems to have gone up a notch. It's a shame they don't allow combining it with ferric grey 436M - at least the online configurator doesn't.

yeah, its such a deep orange that it does look almost red in some lights. Thats why I much prefer the valencia orange because it's much brighter :) You can only get sunset orange on the shadow edition though which I guess ties into the whole shadow/darker theme Edit: it seems valencia orange isn't even an option anymore on the M140i at all, its sunset only. Makes VO more exclusive i guess!

VO pops more that's right. They killed off both my favourite colours - VO and GS - which is a shame because none of the currently available ones appeal to me much.

Just took my M140i up the Transfagaras road. I never had time to have a close look on the interior because driving it is too intoxicating.

Agree, but this video is about the differences between Lci and Lci 2, therefore mostly interior changes. I've don't plenty of driving videos on the M lites

Love the wheels and colour of the car. Still hate the grey front bumper trim, and don't get me started on the bloody start stop. £1300 sounds a great deal for all that kit.
