The BMW M140i guide for DUMMIES 

Great vid. Had my 2018 M140 shadow edition for 6 months now and it's been incredible. Like any high powered rear wheel drive car you need to respect it in the wet or when pushing on but it's a hugely capable car. I am 44 but still need to fight the urge to put it in Sports+ and throw the back out at any given opportunity. The Mrs just sighs when she sees the display change to S+. I should know better :D

Nice to see the old works in the North/East.

Lads from the North just explain things better, or should I say bettah. Top class content. Nice motor too.

Well composed and useful - don’t even own one of these but the extra knowledge can’t be a bad thing 😂

Thanks for the heads up! I got an M140 4 months ago after owning an m135 for 9 months before that.

The oil filter problem isn't just a manufacturing problem its because the filter housing lid has lugs which the filter locks into before inserting it into the housing. The disintegrated ones is where the filter has been dropped into the housing then the lugs on the lid crush the filter causing it to disintegrate in the housing. Correct replacement and installation is far more important than frequency mate.

Very cool attractive looking compact hothatch! Another cool car we don't get here in the U.S.! Thanks for the vid!!!! ✌🏾❤✊🏾

I got an m135i lci mineral grey and I don’t think there’s much in it with that and the m140i, the N55 engine does sound better for me and revs out well, But the B58 is a bit more torquey low end, both amazing cars 👌🏻

The "Gummi Pflege Stift" is german, if you translate it word for word, in english it would be called "rubber care pen". Also if there is an "E" at the end of a german word, it's not silent like in french. :)

Regarding oil its probably worth mentioning it has to be LL04 rated 👍

Don't usually comment but this was a very well put together video!

Another well presented video Luke. Well done 👏👏x

Kind of wish I had this before. I bought mine just over a month ago. Solid car if anyone's reading this and considering a buy.

Solid car for sure🔥

Very entertaining Video as always, Here is the least imporant thing but knowing some German, I could not help noticing, that the product you recommended is in German "Gummi Pflege Stift" and you made it sound as if it was the brand name but Pflege simply means care, so that kind of translates to rubber pen applicator to care for your car. If there is no English on the tube, then that is probably not going to be cheap, some import, not sure where you found that. Anyway, really not important, really nice summary of all the features about the car, I hardly drive mine because of those restrictions ,no longer need to drive to work and I have this OCD to open the bonnet and check the coolant level even I don't drive the car, plain ridiculous. Seriously, that will probably be the best petrol car I will ever own.

the first mlight ewg n55 is a great hot hatch second best ever made, they improved the mlight with the b58 engine m140i the best hot hatch ever made.

Very sad to this the f20 m140i go and make way for the new and "improved" f40 m135i. I was looking to buy this car used as my first car. Thanks for you the guide as I'm obviously one of those dummies.

This looks like my cars twin 😍

Yeah mine had the jet washer issue 😂! All cleared out and sorted for cheap though.

I want an m140i sooo bad but cannot afford one x.x the car is cheap for a car of its caliber but it'll take me too long to save for it and then insurance in my area too is probably the worst in the UK it'll cost me anyweher between 4k-6k to insure the car ridiculous.

Another good vid mate, cheers!

Brought a m140i yesterday very useful 👍

Top content as per 👏🏻

Nice vid. Great location. know it well. Mind the pot holes on the South Gare road.

Cracking video mate! I've had my coolant level sink very slowly and was wondering why but seeing as it's a common problem I shan't worry too much :)

Nice spec man

Nice thanks for posting 👍

Great balanced video 👍

Good job mate! very useful stuff

Great video. Thanks.

Brilliant videos!

Bought an M140i two weeks ago. already had the coolant light come one! but apart from that, absolutely loving it!! Feel kind of obligatory to subscribe to this channel now ✔

Huh, didn't know they made the m140i with frameless doors. I've got the 5-door xDrive m140i and it's super nice to have the frames during winter. Previously had a frameless 4 series and it's a nightmare during winter.

Great Video, I need some of the window stuff, I have 435D Convertible and its been a nightmare!!!

Good video mate 👍🏼

Think people asking for fuel consumption and the ‘best’ insurers are the most annoying Facebook users on the groups 🙄

New M140i owner here! And just found your channel and binge watching your vids, love your style of video format, keep it up! :)

Great Video! Im looking to buy a 140 atm!

I’m gonna need this when I’m 20

So this week I’ve got the dreaded exhaust rattle on the m135. I’ve gone to remove the pin only to find it’s snapped so right now the left exhaust has nothing holding the flap shut, sounds horrendous. I’ve ordered the new pin with it arrives tomorrow, and it’s in for an mot on Monday, so I’m hoping they’ll just put the new one back In without any issues. It seems to happen to them all

They seem to be pretty solid cars. Mines not had any coolant issues and I escaped the oil filter fiasco on my first service. Apparently there’s a new cap for the coolant tank that may or may not help with it loosing it’s coolant.

I wanna see these black badges!!!!

Wish you’d have done some donuts down Juba

why we dont get this model in the usa is a shame. its the spiritual successor to the legendary clown shoe.

Very useful, thank you, sorry I'm a bit late but my 140 only arrived yesterday afternoon after a spur of the moment decision inspired by my brother "stop remembering your youth & get on & relive it (that was the p.c. version) so had a quick mooch around & decided it was 'hot hatch' time again. As an old fart who's had a driving license since gas lighting was still available Ive got used to reading dials as normally when a warning light comes on its often too late. So driving her home yesterday & being caught up in Fri tea time traffic I found myself hunting for water coolant & or oil temperature gauges without much success, then to be told there arent any & the car will monitor it & tell you if its overheating,, The very same reason Im always aware of my cars normal opperating temperatures, cars dont always tell the truth... What do you guy do ? Ive seen some aftermarket solutions but is this true & that BMW saw fit to not to overload its drivers with at least one temp gauge?? HELP

Lookship 😂Great Video! I still get people telling me my late 2018 GPF car will instantly fail an MOT if I do anything with the exhaust! I want more sound but I've had so many conflicting answers on forums and Facebook ive just given up at this point.

Big up redcar, I’m thinking of getting the same car

Change the oil and filter every 12 months or 8000 miles, don't leave it until the service light comes on. The M140i has the same problem as every other BMW I have owned (five of them), the filters on the washer pumps get blocked, and it's a pita to clean them.

You missed wheel nut torque settings 🙄😂

Hey can anyone here tell me what oil to use? I have 0 ability to use google and can’t be bothered to read the manual.

M140i opf Version sounds better than without opf

Do you have any wind noise from the drivers side window with the frameless doors? If so, any ideas on fixing this?

Where is that road at that looks over the sea haha looks great for insta pics ?

Great vid, you didn’t mention the PPF cars sounding worse? Is this not really issue? Thanks!

I checked my coolant and was not impressed by the colour of the coolant, it was a brown almost rusty looking mixture. Although I've had no warning lights and it seems to be working fine it's just a little odd that it looked this way....is that normal,

if the car was reg 28th of June will i be able to change exhaust without additional tuning?

Cracking video! How much would it be for another unit to fit in? Also how often does oil filter get changed?

Hi mate. How often you change coolant and oil filter.

Brilliant video mate - loving the look of this. Very classy. Thinking of getting one and selling my S2000, but that means getting a depreciating asset instead of an appreciating one 🤔

Thought I had accidental clicked on a night scape video for a second

Bit of a strange question but the link to the image u used when showing tyre pressures please. Thanks

Redcar?

Do you have problem of burning oil of your M140i?

what about the best reasonable priced tires and where from ?

Anyone else with squeaky mirrors in the warm when they open??

apply same logic to 440i

its crazy how cheap these are, you can get them for under 20k

Don't put M mirrors on a non-M cars please everyone.
