Big like. Thanks man for the honest reaction to the speed! I felt the same way driving around my brother's 440i. "What more could you want" my thoughts exactly. Props for no terrible music that most car vids force you to endure. Very genuine thoughts.

In europe the M140i is youtubes favorite car. These M-Performance cars are sick, people do underestimate them but even stock they’re so fast!

I own the LCI refresh version of this car with the updated interior and tail lights and before that I had the M235i. It's hella fast and quite practical. I know the engine is capable of even more power but to be honest it's got plenty of go already.

I have a RWD 230i (2 litre turbo 4, 248 hp, and 258 lb/ft torque). Not as much power as M240i, but still super fast, so planted, handles like a dream. Best car I ever owned.

I have one of these over here in the UK, if you feel the need for more power theres actually at least 3 companies now that will remap these up to 440bhp with a simple remap, that's works in safe limits of the engine and gear box. Although with a 0-60mph of around 4.3 seconds (rwd car that is) I don't think you need it.

I just sold my m240i. It's one of those cars where everything is perfect (they are even good in the wet with a bit of driving skill). You don't actually need more power although as you have mentioned there is plenty more on tap. I would not buy one of these cars second hand if I knew the previous owner had mapped it. Safe limits is a debatable term and I have no doubt you could wreck a chipped B58 in much less time than a standard one.

I don't think most Americans know much about this car. I have the 228I RWD with the m Sport package and it is really fast enough in Sport mode and the light weight over the front wheels helps to fling it around. I am thinking about going up to the M240I and I'm torn on whether to get the X drive...leaning against it but it would be a plus at times where I live.

5:55 you actually don't have to go into sport mode for the sport displays. If you're in comfort or eco pro mode, you can go to car info in the menu and select sport display there. It's also where the eco pro display is. Just thought i'd share. Great video, having driven a M140i it's definitely one of my favorite cars. It does need an LSD though.
