Very good, honest, and genuine review. The people who slag these off, are comparing them to M2/M4/RS3/A45s which is unreal as those cost twice or three times as much. Had mine a year and a half, and it is by far the best daily do-it-all I have had. All the mods you talk about are great, but think carefully, because turning it into a sharper handling, trackday toy, will ruin it as a daily. Mine is stock, with a remap to 411bhp/576nm, and it is everything I need. Still very comfy for the 95% of the time I am trundling around with the wife in the passenger seat (mine has adaptive suspension), but enough power to shock M2's, RS3's, and A45s once I'm rolling (obviously I get destroyed from a standing start).

I’ve had mine for 18 months. It’s a great little car when you weigh up the performance vs. running costs vs. practicality. It’ll be a tough little car to replace when the time comes. Servicing for me is cheap as chips with the £300 service pack. Worst bit is once you start fiddling, it’s a slippery slope! 😂. The underbody brace is cheap from Williams Performance and does make a difference.

Also had my manual M140i for 6 months. Agree about pro nav & HK audio, must haves in my opinion. I don’t have adaptive suspension, but a set of Bilstein B8 dampers sorted my ride & handling out. With regards to tax, manual is more money due to less MPG at higher motorway speeds.

Honestly? If I were to take either the M140i or the GT86 for a blast on a B Road, I'd take the GT86. It has to be the best chassis for the price in 20-30 years (not that I've drove every car to compare it with, but it is just that good). I really want to get another 86 in the future and use it to get some seat time at a track. Nowhere near as expensive to run and I can fix pretty much anything on them now.

Have you thought about lowering springs. I installed both a strut brace and springs on my pre LCI 1 series and now the car feels planted as anything. I also have a K brace in the boot and it just helps the car round corners so much, no need for a full cage to be honest.
