If the 2021 BMW M140i gets the go-ahead, you can expect it to look like a 1 series raised on a diet of pure steroids. In the front, you will find a front bumper that is barely clearing the ground allowing it to channel a large gulp of air to the radiator and car intercoolers.
Around the sides, the down wheel arch accommodates a unique set of 19-inch Alloy Wheels, while the side skirts give the car a wider and more aggressive look.
However, it will be what is behind the M140i that is sure to give the car the biggest visual muscle. This comes courtesy of the quad exhaust pipe, which incorporates the rear diffuser, and the rear spoiler roof-mount that, embroidered upwards, recreates the look of the Terrier tail.
As far as the old-school fans are concerned, the segment of hatching heat seems to be at its peak at the moment, and the responsibility for that lies with the 3.0-litre twin-turbo and the inline-six powered BMW M140i. As a result, we can not help but wonder what the 2021 BMW M140i successor will be like. To go along with this new, more aggressive look, you can expect the BMW 2021 M140i to be given a significant step up in performance, with the possibility for the development of a 306HP, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine mounted to M135i. With a better intake and exhaust-and light, some fine-tuning should be able to produce 400hp. It is an easily attainable figure from R Golf, which does the same job, and it something which will get M140i from 0-62mph in just four seconds. The car head will pass the limiter speed of 155mph shortly after.
Being the latest in a long line of ever-improved-upon performance cars; it will also probably get an updated version of the M135i s four-wheel-drive system, which is mounted in front of a limited-slip differential and adjustable shock. This will let you choose between a soft and hard suspension setting. The brakes being upgraded with powerful four-pot calligraphy could also be on the card and you can also expect M140i to get the same eight-speed gearbox as was installed on the M135i.
Ok, we can be certain that the M performance model will come with xDrive. However, at least when we consider what we can hear in the audio of the test recording, the newcomer seems to be much than a happy model it replaces, you can hear the delay between the gear changes. Interestingly, the video also shows the in-development M140i as it currently stands, potentially an El RWD mod, not the xDrive one, which we can see allows the tail to glide out nicely coming into the North Loop.
As for the second aspect mentioned in the Intro, this has to do with downsizing. The turbocharged straight-six of the current car will make room for the Turbo-four. Rumours have been spreading of a beefed-up version of B48 2.0-liter Mill, which could give around 320 HP. Thus, we can see through the heat of hatching behind the M135i Nameplate.
When it comes to the positive aspects of this transformation, we can include superior fuel efficiency, as well as a more generous rear passenger space and larger luggage compartment capacity, though these last two points are more relevant to the non-performance version of this model.
