just wondered can you easily get hold of winter tyres on m135i/m140i?,and with the tyres not being runflat can the tyres be easily changed over without ruining the wheels.

Don't think they ever did. Pretty sure white was the only free colour on the M135.

Yup, mines mid Aug as yours, being built next week but as you can appreciate TRL can only do so many cars on the 1st and the 3rd being a sat means no day off needed

mikeoz · 07-20-2016, 01:03 PM

So first M140i delivered today by the looks of it...
Over baby bmw ..some nice pics...new rear badge numbers look good to me

happycow6171 · 07-20-2016, 01:09 PM

JustChris · 07-20-2016, 01:28 PM

Great news.

happycow6171 · 07-20-2016, 01:38 PM

m2 looks awesome chris good choice will be a future classic me thinks!

SkyJawa · 07-20-2016, 01:40 PM

And he forgot to take many pics lol!

Seems it was quite a trial as not officially launched until 27th so not on dvla etc records but they got there that's the main thing! I guess once it's official insurance will be easier as at the moment it only seems to be on the admiral groups systems for any sane price....

Surely you are going to de-badge

I would, the thought of having to explain that the car isn't a 4.0i to everybody would drive me mad

It's bad enough telling people that an 18i is a 1.5i 3cyl and an 18d is a 2.0d

If it's anything like the current one it will spend most of its time sat on my drive with no one seeing it!

And what do you mean it's not a 4.0i? Have I been miss sold?

mikeoz · 07-21-2016, 03:38 AM

Not a 4ltr...
Next you will be saying it's not a V8...
