@@jsl82837 no they aren’t buddy? The front wheels are very slightly into the arch by a few mm. Widening the rear arch so close to rear door is a bad idea.
@@sidrens5292 the car has a wider body in the front than the rear, and with the spacers to compensate for that they now are wider out in the front than in the rear, it needs to be wider in the rear.
It always worked great in my M140i 😁 mine wasn’t tuned though and yes expecting it to launch like an RS3 will lead to disappointment. It still wasn’t bad though
@@Holdeenio I always tend to just brake boost mine, only used launch control a few times but I find it’s quicker just giving it like 1.5k revs and letting off the brake in sports +
@@henrik5360 No it isn’t. Not every car needs a wide front and rear, that’s just the standard way of doing things. This is a special kind of project and the combination of it all suits it well. The wider arches are just going to ruin the rest of the “lines”.
No better way to watch a Matt Armstrong video than sat in benalmadena, makes me feel like a big kid getting excited when the notifications come through ☀️🇪🇸
Mat, no need to widen the rear. It looks amazing as it is now, although, how about replacing the rear lights with the type you got for the M4? This exhaust looks fantastic! Just wrap it and you're done on this one! 👌👌👌👌
Love the sound of the new exhaust and downpipe, Once your fitted the Downpipe the turbo spool sounded even better!!! You absolutely right that’s how M140i should sound from the factory. 🔥🔥🔥
Mate this has got to be hands down the best uk car channel on CZcams. Followed you from the start, found your channel when I was looking up lowering spring fitment to a golf years ago. Only channel I actually watch religiously. Deserve every success mate!
That exhaust looks damn fine and sounds even better....if it were my choice I wouldn't fit the wide arches, far to much hassle for little gain. I think, once you've wrapped it it's going to look mint....👌
I am a huge 140i fan and I love what you have done with it. Even the M2 part give this car a new fresh look. Bro the 4 pipe insane. I have always imaged this car with 4 pipes and today you made my dreams come true.
The sound of the exhaust is sick, I have a feeling that the final output will be very special! Your content is just on another level , keep up with the good work!
Nailed it with the exhaust. As far as the bodywork goes just wrap it or paint it. Don’t wide body it. Also don’t worry about the hub centric spacers. They’re not driven wheels at the end of the day.
I do love your videos, awesome content, every time you upload something new it’s just a pleasure to watch the modifications you make on your cars. I have a 1 series and God only knows how much I wish I could do what you’re doing to yours on mine.
I’ve seen stock m140i read over 360bhp when run on premium fuel ⛽️… with an off the shelf stage 1 map they can hit over 410bhp so the B58 engine is a complete beast 👌🏼 with your exhaust mods, if you do the intake too and stage 2 you’ll hit 450bhp no sweat. That’s why this is a fantastic daily.
This car feels insane fast , I remember my friend took me for a drive in 1 a few times 😍 the acceleration feels like a mini R35 GTR 😅 Glorious Car 🙌 Love what your doing to it 😅
Hi Mat, These have the B58 engine in which is shared with the BMW M240i and the toyota Supra, not forgeting various other BMW's, the B58 in these is set to 340 bhp but more often than not puts out 360+bhp in stock form, one guy i know got 372 bhp (or there abouts) on 2 different dynos, with a stage 1 remap 410+ is very obtainable, stage 2 which is what you are nearly at should see you around the 465+ bhp area!
She looks great Matt wheel spacers are ace . Great job on the exhaust.My opinion is don’t touch the wheel arches. Can’t wait to see what you do with the exterior another wrap ? 👍👍
Deffo need the wide rear arches! They’ll look awesome. Prob all could’ve got away with 35mm spacers on front, think 40mm would’ve been pushing it a bit.
Sounds like my old ibiza pd130 on tick over with the downpipe 👍 sounds mint i recon you shouldnt wide arch bike and black ⚫whole thing out blowers they are mince golf rs etc stage one 🤘
Nice project! love the F20 BMW.. quick question about the front wheels, wouldn't it be better to choose a wheel model with a correct Offset\ET instead of putting such a huge spacer?
there will be alot of drone. i have done both my N55 335i and B58 240i. best sound but alot of drone when cruising or low gear underload. if you can, id recommend a valvetronic system. done both my cars, never going back. sounds beautiful man
Nice Mat, I like 👌🏽 Keep the shape simplistic, it already looks insane bro. Have it colored up and see, I think it's gonna look pretty original and sick 🔥 If it were in my books; this project is done son! 😎
That’s Defo had a remap I’ve had mine for a year now and just from video and the idol you can tell it’s had a stage one map, these m140is don’t really like launching compared to the golfs and the rs3s as they have adaptive awd which sends 100% of power to all 4 wheels when launching which is really good unlike the rwd m140i that’s the only bad thing I have to say about mine! Hope this helps matt!
The exhaust sounds amazing! I feel like you shouldn't add the widebody fenders and just do some carbon bits like a front lip and rear diffuser then she will look mint!
Don’t wide arch it, I’ll look good once it all one colour
I think he should because the front wheels are now sticking out more than the back ones and that’s no good
@@jsl82837 no they aren’t buddy? The front wheels are very slightly into the arch by a few mm. Widening the rear arch so close to rear door is a bad idea.

@@MrToastyman900 I would make up and stick on some bespoke arch trims to give appearance of wider rear section.
Sir Sparco it’s barely wider, nobody’s gonna come up to it with a tape measure to check, it’s not that deep
Stick the car in sports plus, move the gearbox into sport (but not manual) then hold on left foot brake, max gas and it’ll engage launch control 🚀
Launch control isn’t that good on this since it’s rwd so not much point in it
It always worked great in my M140i 😁 mine wasn’t tuned though and yes expecting it to launch like an RS3 will lead to disappointment. It still wasn’t bad though

Sack the wide rear arches off, looks sick already
Yea, he just needs to paint or wrap it in one colour and gad damn it’s going to look hot
It is super weird that the front is wider then the rear?! He should definently go with the wide rear arches
@@henrik5360 No it isn’t. Not every car needs a wide front and rear, that’s just the standard way of doing things.

front and rear should have about the same width at the moment. he could replace the spacers with m2 suspension geometry tho.
@@henrik5360 looking at it it does not seem like the front is wider than the rear.
Pains me how it literally sounds like my Supra did, so annoying 😂😂
Edit: so much rasp without the cat 😂😂
The best type of noise! I always thought the supras sounded a little louder 🤷♀️😅

Thought I was the only one with that view
Totally agree. The rear end on them standard looks wide as f#ck anyway
Totally 🔥😎
Totally agree, no need for the rear widening. It looks great now, just go on with the cosmetic look now, colours
Great to see how Mat channel has grown and developed since the early days. Well done.
Mad how quickly he’s become successful. Well done to the lad
Only the Audi TT video fans would understand
Looking great as always, Matt! Personally feel like you shouldn't widen the rear arches more; I would go with it as it is.
Love the sound of the new exhaust and downpipe, Once your fitted the Downpipe the turbo spool sounded even better!!! You absolutely right that’s how M140i should sound from the factory. 🔥🔥🔥
Man oh man! The exhaust transformation videos are absolutely my favourite. I've learnt so much from this channel.
Congratulations and I wish you more brilliance and success, you are inspiring in cars
I'm in love with this car, absolutely mental. Your best build by far!!
please keep doing what you’re doing, i love the vids! much love from the USA

Another great video... Youre giving me so many ideas for my m140 😍
How on earth you drove that from Mallory to just outside Litchfield with no exhaust and didn’t get pulled is beyond me! Good work!

So much content in one week between you and Hannah, it’s like Christmas 🥲
Mat I can’t wait to see what this car turns out like when it’s finished. Looks and sounds ace already. Hope to see you again for future projects 👍
Keep it as is mate its wicked at the min, loving this build well done Matt keep them coming
'Send it'..... that's what we need more of in our lives. Awesome video Mat and Hannah
Sounds epic Matt, great to see Dave Jacques at Jacquesfab on the video, what a guy!!!
Been watching the videos Mat, and I don’t think you the go any wider, the car absolutely looks perfect the way it is man.
I can't wait to see this wrapped! It looked odd before the new rear bumper was on but now looks mint 👌 might even look better than a coupe M2!
Sport+, sports mode on gearbox, left foot brake, right foot flat down to the kick down pedal engages launch 👍🏻
Loving all the hatchbacks build always my favourite builds
Nailed it with the exhaust. As far as the bodywork goes just wrap it or paint it. Don’t wide body it. Also don’t worry about the hub centric spacers. They’re not driven wheels at the end of the day.
30mm spacers will knock out the wheel bearings in no time though.
Love your videos Matt, your welder guy is a total craftsman… excellent job

The best sounding and looking car you have done Matt. Awesome vids, keep it up 👍
This sounds great just got my 140 sorted after 3 other combos this is the only one for me great video M8 :)
Another epic video Matt.. legit highlight is watching these project car videos!
really nice exhaust sound, and it looks amazing with the spacers, really nice taste! 👌🏼
I was waiting so much about Gallardo but damn , can't wait for RS5 build
Best build so far! Well worth the money beats every other car you’ve done to date
That sounds amazing Mat love the content, im a new subscriber from 3 days ago, your videos are kinda addicting not gonna lie keep it up
Loving this build, beast of an engine in a go kart chassis. Nice one
😍 the sound of the straight through exhaust
love the build, my favourite BMW- MATFam for life- love the videos Mat💯💯😎🔥🔥
Brilliant video again Mat. Once it's got a complete paint job or wrap it will look stunning. Head Turner for sure
Matt that sounds beast can’t wait for the wrap and remap. Those pipes out the back look ream nice one matt 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice work by Jacques Fab!!! Looks perfect.
Can’t wait to see it all painted.. looks 💯

I'm in the process of buying a 140i and now it's going to have to be straight piped when I eventually find the right one ,thanks Matt and Hannah !!!!
Absolutely brilliant,love these 140s
Great sound mat 👌 leave the rear arches looking sick already 👍 Maybe a super mad colour needed 🤔
Love your vids mate 😎👌 curious to see what you are going to do with the rear-end quarters to widen them up 😎
Great sound !! The upshifts are 🔥

Hi Mat, These have the B58 engine in which is shared with the BMW M240i and the toyota Supra, not forgeting various other BMW's, the B58 in these is set to 340 bhp but more often than not puts out 360+bhp in stock form, one guy i know got 372 bhp (or there abouts) on 2 different dynos, with a stage 1 remap 410+ is very obtainable, stage 2 which is what you are nearly at should see you around the 465+ bhp area!

Bruv really beautiful that 140i has now become by dream car defenitly gonna buy 1 next month
The fact when you start the car it doesn’t “cold start” every time could be a good indicator that it’s been mapped

Either stealth it out like rear bumper, or go with paint from m2 front and ppf, both will look sick
