My daily drive for the last 6 years. Awesome car, never let me down and great fun to drive with manual gearbox. I have upgraded the disks and pads recently and it has fairly new Michelin Cross climates fitted. Also changed the front grill and wing mirrors. Serviced locally every year. Now over to AI. This 2017 BMW 1 Series M140i is a performance-focused hatchback equipped with a powerful 3.0 litre petrol engine. As a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it meets modern emission standards while delivering a driving experience defined by its impressive acceleration, capable of reaching 0 to 62mph in just 4.8 seconds. The vehicle combines the practicality of a hatchback with the engineering standards expected from the BMW brand. The M140i offers several practical advantages that set it apart from other vehicles in its class. It features a large boot space, providing ample room for luggage or shopping, which makes it a versatile choice for daily use. Manoeuvring in tight spaces is made straightforward by the inclusion of front and rear Park Distance Control, which uses sensors to assist with parking. Connectivity is also prioritised through the enhanced Bluetooth telephone preparation, which includes a USB audio interface and voice control, allowing for seamless integration of mobile devices. Furthermore, the vehicle benefits from a low insurance group, which helps to make the running costs more manageable compared to many other high-performance models.
