Looks like a superb offer on an M140i

That's a lot of car for £50'ish a week..
Prob a combination of massive discount and form residuals.

Advertising a car as 340hp and 0-60 in 4.8 seconds is as well targeted to guys, as telling a woman that a dress is 50% off. Neither can see the real price or cost, nor care...
I really don't see the appeal of the fast 1ers at all :? Hardly a nice looking car 
little to distinguish from its 118d sisters & being blunt the 1 has never been a looker on any year with only the 1M coupe ever looking remotely fetching 
even then its no Cayman but can be gotten over with its overall package :wink:
Each to their own but the deal sum's it up for me £199 a month is Nissan Qashqai money which also have zero temptation whatsoever

drive one- you'll think differently
Definitely agree with Mr Wilks in that the one in the photo looks identical to a 118D that parks round the corner form my work, honestly though it was the M when I first saw it there. Personally I can only tell when you look at the rear end but maybe people more versed on the 1er can tell straight away. This is a bad thing to a lot of people but also probably as many people like the fact it's a bit of a sleeper and the average Joe wont know it from its cheaper cousin so you can surprise people who want to play and you are less likely to find its been keyed by some jealous twat. Personally I like my car to look more sporty and a bit different to the norm hence driving a Z4!
Still I worked it out before I posted it and it comes all in with deposit and VAT to almost bang on £80 a week which for what is basically a rental seems pretty decent especially given the relatively short 2 year term. TCO is £8400 over the term and if you were to buy one to keep a few years you are almost losing that full amount in the first years depreciation meaning you get the second year free!
Obviously not for everyone this kind of deal and at the moment 100% not for me but just stood out enough to make me think it was worth a share!

Got a 360bhp Golf ED30 on drive at the mo if i want to take off like a epileptic mongoose that cost a fraction of the 140i & will hold or increase its value :wink:jamie_z4 said:mr wilks said:I really don't see the appeal of the fast 1ers at all :? Hardly a nice looking car

As we've discussed vag stuff is dead behind the eyes innit. Trust me for 200 squid a month if you've not really got a clue about cars and you want to drive a car fast they are quite enjoyable to drive. In a straight line anyhow
Yes Mr Wilks doesn't like suped up 1ers, anyways lets move on :lol:
Very little that can touch the M140i it really is a superb alrounder and looks are in the eye of the beholder, I guess the same people said the same for the Z3M coupe and 20 years later lament them.
I'm not keen on the LCI2 though, the minor tweeks have spoilt it somewhat and the shadow edition is BMW trying to appeal in the boy racer in us and to bring out an end of line edition. A real shame it will be consigned to history next year

I wonder if this will go the same way as the M135i?
Remember all the mags/journos saying how great it was, and then later saying it wasn't that good after all and we'd misinterpreted their reviews...and then all the moaners on Pistonheads were stuck with a lease on a car that stopped exciting them after a couple of months
