LETS Actually mad its been 6 months since you last posted, doesn't feel quite that long. Pleasantly surprised you haven't sold the thing




An idea for the Christmas special that you definitely mentioned is to release that overtake on the red polo in the "Why Did I Buy Another BMW M140i? *POV DRIVE*" video (or any blooper/unseen moments)

Just wanted to say kudos on the car bud - an F21 M140i with sunroof is rarer than hen's teeth. I'm sure you knew that!

Took my F21 to PerformanceM in December for a major service after picking her up 2 days prior. Had the diff inserts done because, as you say, they're a very cost-effective mod to do, but can't really comment on the before/after. Taking her back again in March for the B8s (and the Adaptive Dampers removing/decoding), as well as the M3/M4 lower control arms w/fast geo string alignment. I will let you know how the car feels in case it's still helpful.

Also to note is that mine's currently sat on H&R lowering springs and Bimecc 12 mm wheel spacers at the front, supposedly this will lead to rubbing with the LCAs fitted. Going to try and get away with the 10 mm Bimecc spacers, again I can feed that back if useful.

Cheers!

Great vid - may I ask what made you go for the MMR springs over the Eibach? I am looking to do the same mods as you but not sure which spring to go for!

Good video son.. heading up myself to p.m for same mods b8 mmr stance and rear bushes i have adaptive and they can code it out which is a bonus. But im looking at kw v1 colivers🫣 could change to these? Traveling up from s.wales end of nxt month💪

I've got the same spacers 25mm drop all round on standard shocks. My front is too low when I go over speed bumps and those flipping spikes/plates that only let you drive in one way. Stick with what you have on the front because you'll be avoiding speed bumps more than you may already do so.

I’ve got an adaptive car and whilst it’s good in comfort, it has the same problem in sport plus, dampers too soft for UK roads. Got rear B8s for £200 from AUTODOC just need to get the fronts. Got the M performance lsd & god it makes such a huge difference especially when being stage 2+ im also jealous of your colour. I wanted mineral grey but couldn’t find the spec (wanted sunroof, electric seats and rear cam) but could only find all that in estoril blue😢

[thomashazell]

Did you notice you could feel more of the road surface through the steering wheel on rougher roads? Good video pal

[Repols]

I wonder if B8s & stock springs would make the ride any comfier than stock, with a passive setup? Mine rides awfully compared to my previous adaptive car.

[alister]

If you fit the M3/M4 front arms, your ride height will be lowered by another few mm. My 135i dropped by about 10mm when I fitted M3 LCAs.

Did you stay with the standard bump stops?

Hello mate, I’ve been thinking of going to performanceM for the exact same mods. Do you still think these mods make for a good daily driver 6 months later?? Cheers :)

[coenwag]

Nice mods and video! Can you share your geo specs?

[tomkendall]

How much did you pay mate, looking at this b8 set up myself

[Yhyujss]

With your insert did they put on the top and bottom cos IAM just order some powerflex inserts hoping it makes a difference if not then LSD and that money
