Not sure if it’s any interest but spotted these walking home today and they look very tidy…

No connection, etc, etc…

These are stunning and peak M140i, hard to justify one over an M2 which can be had for the same or potentially less

This has a very nice spec but what are thoughts on price?

[Hippea]

I’d imagine there’s some room for negotiation on the price

[Hippea]

Struggling with the prices of these now when an M2 is basically the same price

I realise they are probably worlds apart on the limit but what would you have to spend on an M140 to make it a bit less unruly suspension wise etc?
Closer to £!5k they seem like a bit of a bargain.

At the moment I’d say the OG M2 is the bargain compared to the M140i

I think for me with day to day driving the difference between the 2 isnt that great so when M2 prices were closer to £30k they didnt make much sense.
Now closer to £20k they look more attractive, you can still save yourself £6k though by going for an M140.
I love both of them though and would like to try one.

I’m not sure you do save on a M140i, decent spec ones are around the £20k figure or more from a approved used.

This has quite an impressive spec

Hippea apologies if I’ve missed it but have you bought a car yet?

No, unfortunately life has got in the way but still looking. Bouncing from one thing to another though

Fantastic buy and award for the best 21st birthday present!

I think when I was 21 I bought my 1974 Beetle (which I still have)

What are the common issues (if any) with the B58 lumps?

From my research they seem pretty reliable. There is an issuer of the oil filter disintegrating but I’m not sure how prevalent this is.

Thoughts on this M240i?
