Deals on the M140i are near irresistable but need an LSD. I almost pulled the trigger this week but have decided to wait for the new F40 M135i.
Although I will miss out of the big and characterful inline 6, I will enjoy a car that's superior at putting power to the ground.
My local roads are very undulating, uneven, have roundabouts and lots of elevation change. Long term, I wouldn't thrive in the M140i unless when the roads are bone dry.
In real life conditions the M135i will be faster but still enjoyable thanks to a highly biased rear xDrive and clever new e-diffs.
