100% , I can feel her getting neglected but I’m going to try keep the seat spirit alive ,

I’ll rather excited for the m140i , got it at a knock down price too through a work contact via park lane.

I’m thinking getting the Remus or M performance exhaust and a tune but reading about these jb4 and blue spark boxes but worries about them being no good and may pay for a proper dyno tune but people sware by the jb4 ?

Proper tune, may cost more but I'd say it will be a lot better to have a custom tuned 140 and know what's going on when strapped to the Dyno. Plug and play = plug and pray.

“Plug and pray” not heard that before but I like it !
Yea I fully support dyno tuning myself I guess everybody buying the “jb4 and blue spark” are all pcp buyers who want to remove it for servicing and have no plans to pay the balloon and keep the car after .

I’ve still got my brembos to and new wrap to freshen up the Toledo coming soon just taken a back seat with the m140i , it’s at park lane London at the moment I believe and should get deliver date in the next day or so!

Really loving the m140i so far ,
Not driven it to much yet but wow it’s in a different league

Now the weather is better I’ll get the Toledo wrap sorted and brembos fitted

I've sat in a couple and it's the same as getting in a C63... words can't really do justice for the view from the driver seat.

I look on the continent every now and then to see if I can buy one but there always mega money compared to our market ,

The m140i it’s self is great , lovely car

Park lane as a dealer not so good ,
I washed it over the weekend and realised that it hadn’t been paint protected which even though was thrown in for free I still want it done

So waiting on them to sort this out now

You should feel the paint it’s not glass like smooth and no water beading gave it away

But the car is perfect and fast as you could expect

Been a while
M140i now has done 1000 miles and is a peach

The Toledo is on 130.000 now

Re-gassed the air con today been two years and hadn’t lost any gas so nice and sealed system really happy with that ,

Boot stopped locking and kept getting fog light warning , traced back to rubbed boot loom so making a new loom up for this at work tomorrow

Still not fitted the brembo calipers simply because the Mintex 1144 haven’t worn out that’s in the 313 brakes yet

Wrap still yellow haven’t had time to re-do it yet but do want to go back black again as two black cars on the drive would look smart

Oh and I had a small crash on the ninja and spent some time in the hospital,

Leg looks Uber swollen and battered. Glad you’re still standing mate.
Black will look smart for the Toledo.

Finally took the wrap off the Toledo this weekend

Wow black does not even compare to yellow

Anyways got some prep work to before the new wrap can go down as there must have previously before my ownership been a poor paint job done on a rear door and it’s taken some paint off with it so going to get this all rubbed down and primed ready for a nice flat surface to wrap over


I’ve been testing colours out on the mirror caps and fuel cap as quick and easy to wrap

Thinking Nardo grey car. Red brembo’s will be going on and gloss metallic black for roof and door handles possibly mirrors too
