There's a lot of choice when you have between £20-25k to blast on a used motor

My mates just got a brand new M140i, hes had a Cobra decat back fit last week, and will be having JB4 fit in the next week or so to see roughly 450-470bhp
Drove it myself last week, awesome car. Far too easy to get sideways, and only had it in Sport plus

no? they really aren't expensive as people think, can be had with humungous discounts, some people are getting them for 27/28k with dealer discounts up to 23/24%!

I suppose I could afford one on the tick as saw a BMW advert for them at £299 a month but I only ever buy cars up front, so in that respect I don't suppose anyone would be able to buy one cash from a dealer (unless they're earning mega money).

mate Tom took his 135i to the Nring and pissed all over me in the Scooby with his 7 gears
was funny watching the centre caps literally pop off on their own after getting the brakes too hot after a lap

I find the 1-Series way too small inside, so will not ever be getting one even though I'd have liked to.

I am missing a centre cap on the front of my ST. they were £20 ebay jobbies so maybe this is what happened to it

lovely whitter, one of the lucky ones who got coral before it was dropped? Did you also go for adaptive?
I went for the same as you but had the option of the shadow edition so got that as it had the HK, PDC and Sun protection which I wanted anyway.
Regret not going for the Sunset Orange now after seeing all the new pics of them. Looks a fantastic colour

yes LCI 135 so got coral
As my wife drives it most of the time went lite on options
Sun protection, heated seats and comfort
If it was my everyday car would have gone with Adaptive for the money
Like the shadow edition just not keen on wheel colours - Orbital grey is really dark from the pics I have seen
Get a mid pipe delete on the 140i it will make it as loud as the 135i as the 135i doesn't have a mid silencer

They work for me place in Beverley fitted the de cat for me I did the jb4. No idea what it’s putting out till I get it on the rollers but these mods should be good for around 400bhp
