Description
If you're looking for a properly maintained, unmodified M140i that hasn't been tuned, tracked, or thrashed - this is the one.
This 2018 Shadow Edition is powered by the iconic B58 engine and paired with the rarer manual gearbox. It's one of the last true BMW hot hatches before EU regs dulled the fun.
Mechanically flawless. This car has been:
Serviced exclusively by BMW under a BMW service plan
Recently serviced at BMW Bromley (July 2025) - includes oil and filter change, brake fluid flush.
Only run on Shell V-Power 99 throughout ownership
Fitted with brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres on the front. Rear tyres probably need replacing in the next 4k miles
4-wheel alignment and balancing recently completed (June 2025)
Ownership & Use
Owned for ~3 years
Never tracked, raced, or launched
Mixture of city and motorway miles
No modifications - completely stock from factory
Low mileage (exact figure available on request)
Cosmetic Condition
This car has cosmetic blemishes:
Curb rash on ALL alloys
A dent on the rear spoiler
Other marks which I have done my best to photograph and hope I have priced to reflect
Nothing that affects performance - just the sort of wear you'd expect from a car that's been enjoyed but respected.
Why This Car?
If you know your M140is, you'll know many are remapped, lowered, and etc. This one hasn't been. It's lived a good life. I feel it's a future classic in waiting as one of the last of the great six-cylinder RWD hot hatches with a manual gearbox.
Selling as we have our first child on the way and I have upgraded/downgraded (depends on how you look at it) to a 2024 320i touring.
