Why I chose the BMW M140i over a GOLF R, S3 + A45 AMG...

I don't owe anyone an explanation as to why I chose the bimmer but you're getting one anyway 😂

If anything it might help you make your mind up aswell 🤷

Big thanks to:
+ Peter's mate in the Leon 😃

Because 6 cylinders are better than 4, enough said.

Very well edited for someone with 1.1K subs! Also very well presented

The m140 is the king of the hot hatches simply because it's rwd, which offers much more engagement as we all know and for the price, you get so much for your money.Anyway, you made a great choice mate and great video

RIGHT CHOICE! i was in your situation 3 yr ago, in fact i made a really good choice. the B58 is the crazy 2.0 hatch killer.

First video I've seen of yours and it was very, very good. Great editing and presented in a comprehensive but informative format. It was nice to see some fair real world comparisons there, not many people go into the detail of parts and servicing. Subscribed!

Great vid bud, if I hadn’t have looked I’d have assumed you were about 100k subs, proper quality editing a commentary, really enjoyed👍🏻

[Arman-nlmg]

Ok damn. I've seen loaaads of vids about the exact same question, why the 140 over its rivals, but this was just brilliant. No faffing about, short, sweet and straight to the point. Keep it up!!

I’ve had mine for 3 months and I actually love it. Everytime I drive it I smile. I get bored really quickly normal but with this car every drive is like the first.

Great video! After two years of trying out multiple hothatches (S3, Golf R, I30n, Sti, Focus ST, A35amg, etc...) i tried out a M140i, two weeks after i bought one, I fell in love with the engine.

Awesome! I’ve had mine for just over a year and it’s a phenomenal bit of kit. And you’re right about the Shell garage. I’ve begun to enjoy my Monday morning pit stops at the local Shell.

Wow, what a quality video. Such good and relaxing vibes from this video. You will go far my friend. Keep at it bro!

I sold my M140i a month ago after a lot of working from home and likely not needing a car but it feels it's left a void. Missing it a little so tried to find other more 'fun' cars and simply couldn't find anything that ticked as much boxes; it really is a car of split personality: fun yet comfortable and practical.

Possibly getting myself into another this coming Saturday! A Melbourne Red with a 3rd pedal (ZF Auto 8 speed is a great option too).

Great video. I have a M140i and I went through almost the exact same process of choosing it against the same cars here! I ended up getting a low mileage BMW approved M140i because I did not want the worry of "what if" something breaks. I absolutely love this car and it's been a sort of personal ambition of mine to own one. With it being RWD I am in no doubt I would not be skilled enough to do a balls to the wall race against a Golf R, S3 or A45 on a public road though. At least if any corners are involved! All these cars pick up speed with such ferociously I know it would only be a matter of time before my luck ran out. That said, I'm almost 40 years old so I just enjoy it for what it is.

Great video mate!

My previous car was an E92 M3, I now own a 981 Cayman S, and I'll probably be buying a manual M140i next down the reasons you covered; as nice as it is having the flagship full blown M (etc), these M lites are superb bang for buck and I do love value for money!
The practicality of a hatchback cannot be ignored either.

[comeonman]

Loving the humour and honesty! Excellent production too! Keep up the amazing work!

[akent]

Something you didn't touch on, a lot of people go from an M3 or M4 down to an M140 as they are hard to live with on the day to day due to the firm chassis and suspension and also the jerky dct.

[George-pgxx]

These videos are put together so well. Keep it up mate 👍

[jamsxr]

Lovely motor... So close to going the PCP route on an M340i Touring... pulled the trigger on the a 2018 340i Touring with MPPSK, very happy, and glad I’m not in any debt!

[danielwarren]

Similar situation here but I had slightly less but ended up In a lci 135i defenitly made the right choice
