Having driven one flat out for many laps on a Track experience day, I can say that a BMW M140i is a very very capable car.
Everyone who drove one found them not to be intimidating and no one spun one, unlike the M3 and M4's that really were "too powerful" for most average Joes.


The M140i works brilliantly when the road surface is as one would expect on a track. But on the much patched and potholed roads of Wiltshire it is another matter.
It also works well with a heavy load in the back.

My conclusion it is yet another BMW that is optimised for quality European roads and not the rubbish we have to endure.
