THE 1000HP RWD DEATH MACHINE - WORLDS FASTEST BMW 140i B58

#WTF #WORLDSFASTEST #b58

Top Gear BMW 140i Review:

What makes this a BMW M140i, and not the M135i it looks identical to?

The M135i is dead, and the visually identical M140i, complete with a new engine, has taken its place atop BMW’s 1 Series range. Sound familiar? Yep, it’s exactly the same treatment applied to the two-door M240i we drove recently, and liked. A lot.

Refresh my memory, if you would.

Well, iDrive’s had a refresh with sharper graphics a la 7 Series. Only kidding, let’s talk about whirring bits of metal.

Power is up by 14bhp to 355bhp, while a hefty 396lb ft (a 37lb ft leap) matches the M2’s output. This is courtesy of a new 3.0-litre straight-six turbo motor that revs cleanly and crisply to 7,000rpm, sounds sweeter than anything else in the class (if you pigeonhole the £7,000 dearer five-cylinder Audi RS3 as a rung above), and is slightly greener than the motor it ousts.

BMW claims 36.2mpg and 179g/km of CO2, bettering the M135i by 0.7mpg and 9g/km. And that’s for the six-speed manual. Spec the £1,430 eight-speed ZF auto and the official claim rises to nigh-on 40mpg. As basic as it gets, you’ll pay £31,875 in total, which is still a bit of a bargain for so much power.

So I should probably have the auto then?

Well, the honed shift of the six-speeder properly won us over in the M240i, but to play devil’s advocate, we drove an automatic M140i, and it still shone.

Yes, it could still do with a bigger blip on downshifts to ping those left-handed paddle-pulls on the way into a corner, but apart from that, we’re talking five-star automatic behaviour here. Even the alloy paddles are nicer than the slivers you use to swap cogs in a DCT-equipped M3.

And the auto makes it quicker too?

Yup, thanks to those relatively seamless shifts and precisely no fear of human cock-up, an auto M140 oozes to 62mph in 4.6 seconds – 0.3 less than before. So it’s still right up there with the Golf Rs and Focus RSs. In fact, the powertrain is irreproachable. Beyond the tuneful engine note, pinpoint (for a turbo) throttle response, urgent torque and obedient gearbox, what more did you want, exactly?

What about the handling. Room for improvement there?

Carrying big speed on twisting, scarcely surfaced British roads was the M135i’s slight Achilles heel. BMW sensibly erred on the side of comfort with the suspension set-up, blessing the ’35 with great GT credentials and a pliant ride, but the pay-off was a saggy, heaving sensation on diving B-roads where the body’s inertia got out of sync with the chassis.

Plus, it’s a hot hatch that doesn’t require drift mode to indulge tail-out malarkey, which counts for something…
