The fast 1 Series was always appealing, but it was the facelifted F20 that found the sweet spot 👌
Note for reference: car weight and power data is hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it’s wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive.BMW has always been known as a master of the six-cylinder engine and the one in the M140i did not disappoint. Some say the N55 sounded better than the B58 but they were both superb engines.
Next, gearboxes. The six-speed was a good ‘un, its cause furthered by the inclusion of the M2’s auto-blip function. The eight-speed auto was lovely but could be quite slow to react to a kickdown command from a heavy right boot if you couldn’t be bothered to use the wheel paddles in Sport mode. Reflashes were available to smarten it up. The auto’s Eco Pro mode was a bit weird, forcing the gearbox to change up as early as possible and even disengaging the clutch to create a coasting function.
The original equipment oil filter gained a reputation for falling apart so you needed to be sure to stick to the service schedule. There were no conventional coolant or oil temperature gauges to look at in an M140i: you had to press the BC button on the left-hand stalk to bring up displays on the info panel between the main clocks, or rely on receiving a message from your iDrive. The dipstick was digital too, which not everybody liked.
The steering was supposedly improved over the F20 M135i’s but it could be difficult to spot exactly where those improvements were when you were tramping on. That was when the detachment between the wheels under the car and the one in front of you became most obvious.
