Nice review 👍. I own a M135i F40 and I have seen this new M135 F70 in the flesh. It looks good and it is probably one of the best daily you can buy at BMW. I like my F40 and I think buyers of this new F70 will be very happy 👍

I have the outgoing M135i and the front end instantly says ford fiesta.

Great review… so glad you liked it 👊🏻 mine arrives in November 😎

[davekoi]

Great review thanks 👍 picking one up next summer can’t wait now 😁👏

[keithronson]

Matt. Now that was emotional! You sure like " your" 135s and indeed your own previous performance 1 Series...
Okay like below, new face of the 1 Series ( like so many, if not all new design BMWs) is winning me over. Not least in this speciation.
Without doubt one of your best reviews and as said before, editing, location and commentary. 👍💯💪👌

I’m happy with my ‘24 128Ti thank you 👍

[neilkruger]

first video I watch from you. Very impressed, you got a new subscriber and follower

Didn't think much of it until l saw one in the showroom. Then l had a test drive and l was hooked and just had to buy one. So to all the haters, don't knock it until you try it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[sanchotp]

Still won’t be better then a 128 though lol .. nice review 👌🏼

[markrhoden]

Having had a m140i then a m135i, i wonder, given its price point, unless you're a hardcore dedicated BMW fan, are the other buyers going to buy these rather than the more powerful new Golf r or Audi s3 for roughly the same money 🤷‍♂️🤔
I look forward to the group tests for comparisons

It’s no looker!
What BMW have done to most of the new gen cars is criminal 😂
Lost the zest

It looks like someone stepped on my 2024 X2 and squashed it down. In fact, from the mechanical description it appears to be the same car under the skin. The interior however looks cheaper, for example, it doesn’t have the nice aluminum door pulls. I wouldn’t mind having the lower ground clearance though. The X2 has about 20cm, I would guess for owners who want to take their SUV into the rough, and you can feel the higher center of gravity when pushing it on winding roads.

I’m not really a fan of the quad exhaust pipes (much prefer the dual tail pipes), and I agree with others saying it looks a touch too high (might be just on camera though), but I am curious as to why the gearbox has changed from the previous 8 speed, to a 7 speed in this new version? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the great video.
Loving the new version. Feel the same as you do about the car.
Need your advice, as they recently added an additional option of a ‘M dynamic Pack’ which includes a ‘dynamic chassis set up’ which has little to no info on. And includes even larger M sport brakes.
I wanted your opinion if this would be something worth considering given that u have just driven it with the standard set up b
It is a pricey option though as are all the addition options. Wondered if you recommend it or not for a daily driver. Will it make the car more uncomfortable or is there are any benefits to the car as a non-track car? Thank again.

Going to wait for tge 2027 electric version for comparison Loving my 23 model at the moment

The F40 is a lovely looking car. Subjective looks I guess but every where I look the comments about this new F70 all seem to be the same saying it doesn’t look good. Wouldn’t be so bad if it had 350bhp, least that would give it something over its rivals.

[FeNxDD]

SytnerTV, thanks for review. Is the steering heavy enough in "Sport" mode?

[Lmbarrett]

Is it worth the jump from the outgoing LCI F40? Apart from the interior changes, im not seeing a large enough incentive for the price.

[MYMOUNTAIN_]

And its there where it all falls apart, at the new gearbox, after having a press car for a few days, that gearbox i found jerky, too highly strung in sports, torque steer much worse, and to top it off 50nm less which is felt in the midrange for overtaking, such a missed opportunity to add a small 48v system and have the power and torque at a level where it actually feels like the ultimate driving machine, also should have introduced a flat bottom wheel like on the 2025 M240, along with lowering it a tad sits far too high, looks like a bloody crossover.

I see bmw forgot to design the sensor placing again
