It would look geat on my drive but somehow I would be left wanting on that Sunday drive, reminds me a little of my Z4 which had the wrong engine.
Lovely to sit in though and polish
Tim.
You should have got it mapped Tim, would have been lovely to drive as well

It would still have been down by about 200hp :? compared to my 140i but 200hp more compared to my i10

How many bhp is your 140i? Around 335 I thought? A mapped 20i could be as little as 30/40 bhp less :driving:

Hi Tim ...
Remember the 2.0 is 300bhp .. also 50Kg lighter then the 340 BHP v6, I have driven one and to be honest apart from the racket of my V6 there is not a lot between them in terms of daily performance
Have a test drive ..
..also many thanks for the post as I did not realise that petrol ped had uploaded a 2.0 review
As much as I love how the F-Type looks, I couldn't bring myself to buy one with a 4 cylinder engine however potent it is. 
It's way out of my budget, but I'd rather have a manual Mustang V8 and nearly £20K left over! Enough for a nice Z4M maybe ..... :lol:

Surely the most important aspect is how it goes, with sound being a secondary consideration?

I think its around 340 or so although dyno tests on standard cars they can be pushing upto 370 or so
I would never be happy with mapping an engine Rob, theres always that niggling feeling it could end in tears :? I never understand why people stick a JB4 on their 135/140s :? why not just get a more powerful car built for the job, I think a new engine for the 140i is 12k
Too risky for my wallet.Tim.
Marlon said:Enjoyed that thanks - I'm new to Petrol Ped, he's got a good reviewing style hasn't he. Will have to wash my red sports car now and go for a spin and admire the haunches in the wing mirrors
Yes I like his review style which more down to earth than alot of reviewers.
Tim.

It’s only what bmw do themselves with the n20 range though? The different power outputs are achieved with alternative software and the mechanicals are the same.
My car is only around 30bhp more than the 28i, that’s not a lot and I’m pretty sure bmw build in a bigger safety margin than that
If it explodes I’ll let you know :lol:
