Could it be classed as a hot hatch......?

In my local BMW dealer having my daily serviced and noticed a 140i, well after a test drive.....bought one!

Bet that moves!!!

I don't think 'hot' describes it adequately...

Oh boy did it!.....they reckon it will stop with a M3 upto 70ish.

I was thinking more 'scorchio'

The lure of the test drive! Nice choice, hope you have fun with that little beast!

 

[Chris]

Pictures please!

 

[krash67]

Pictures please!

I'll get some sorted over the weekend

 

[krash67]

Well picked up my new daily driver!



Just got to persuade the girlfriend to change hers next year so I can tow the clio around!

Can't wait to get it run and test the launch control!!

 

[Chris]

Such a wolf in sheeps clothing!! Looks great!

 

[Jimmy]

Very nice!! Hope you have fun with it when you can give it the beans!

Much fun to be had......

Enjoy !!!!

Get some videos up of the sound and launch control!

Very nice, I went out in a friends 135i a few weeks ago and it just blew me away. I've been in some fast cars but the BMW was effortless and felt like it had power from seemingly any revs/gear. Makes the Clio feel like a 1.2 in comparison lol.

I followed an M140i a few days ago. The thought of a 4 litre in their made my smile to myself. Bets its fun....

Think it's 'only' a 3 litre mate, albeit turbocharged...

How pathetic. I take back my satement. A measly 3 litre twin turbo with 335bhp in a tiny car like that.

Hardly worth the bother.......

 

[jasonlovesfrench]

335hp! That's huge amounts for the size of the car!

 

[Gordini]

I only know so much about them as I was minutes from placing an order. Nothing comes close for the money. The Germans though are cheeky with their nomenclature. I had an e-class Mercedes and they are nearly all 2.0 turbo diesels but they call them 200/220/250 depending on output. Very misleading. In the good old days you would know the engine size from the badge.
