I had my new car delivered today, a BMW M140i Shadow Edition. I've only done 20 miles so far but I can't stop smiling. It's a bloody animal. I blame my 14 year old son, he talked me into it lol.

Would love one of these soon!

Had my M140i for almost a year now. You're right its an animal!
Went to the dealers to look at a sensible 3 series touring and couldn't resist.

What are the real world running costs like ?

I'm averaging 26mpg.

About 60% around town, and I keep pressing the sport button.

Not too bad compared to the old X5 at 19mpg!

This maybe of interest to you Dave Fab have fitted a turbo to a 1 series I cant remember which one https://www.facebook.com/pg/davefabuk/posts/?ref=page_internal

I've seen this whilst they were building it the workman ship looked fantastic.

Had ours sconce end of November last year. Could not resist the crazed discount and 0% they through at us

We average 23mpg always driven in either sport or sport plus for that extra sharpness and fun, servicing looks no more that any other car and insurance is very reasonable given the performance

Had the MPE fitted at delivery and it’s mint, nice sound not too intrusive lots of burbling

It is a monster that’s for sure

Going to have the under body brace from the M135i fitted, can’t work out why they removed it from the m140i esp as the rear springs are so much stiffer
