RE: M140i Championship Edition announced

[aaron_2000]

Those stickers will look great in a collection. It's actually a really smart move from BMW, they know £46k is a joke, they also know it'll bring attention back to the M140i for a while, making the £10k discount on a standard M140i look extremely appealing to buyers.

What's a Focus Focus?

Sorry I was not wearing my glasses at the time...

Joking aside, I'm pretty sure that the correct price starts with 3. I'd be borderline ridiculous if these stickers and some cosmetic tweaks and the name that doesn't say anything to those who aren't in the know commanded a 10 grand premium over the shadow edition.

More focus required next time then

Feel like BMW missed a trick by not designing this to have a set of motorsport wheels, given the reason for launching the championship edition....

A collection of what? They'd look great in a skip IMO.

Would a car collector buy this? Serious question. It makes no sense to me.

Its a 1 series with some stickers, so no.

I'd find it a little strange if a car limited to 30 units isn't bought by a car collector, that sure would be strange, then again maybe it's just moronic thinking people collect BMW's, especially limited edition ones.

I can't stand the 436m alloys these (mine included) come with as standard and I'm generally not fussed about alloys.

Changing to those alloys and perhaps flaring the front and rear arches a little more with some wider wheels would at least make a gesture towards this not being a total p155 take of an 'edition'!

Its a marketing exercise

[morgrp]

Very nice but I'll take a standard one. Or actually for me probably a 125i M sport Shadow Edition - 0-60 in 6 seconds and 150 tops is plenty fast enough for me thanks.

[Plug Life]

So Championship footballers are the target group for this model?

It's weird how that 46 looks stuck on top of the original print, I wonder how much that was. I can see the discussion being something along the lines "how much piss can we take and get away with this time, like we'd been doing for the last ten years or so"

[E65Ross]

It's also pretty obvious that the 46k is for that specific vehicle, and it's probably quite loaded with options so not too surprising.
