Hi Kevin,
I tested the car last couple of days and I am highly impressed with everything. The power, is amazing and more importantly it feels really safe to use. The traction is phenomenal. When out on a test drive yesterday, I had no choice but to drive over a pot hole in the road and it seemed to gobble it up! Whereas before in a similar car it would crash in and out of similar holes in the road if unavoidable.

Hi Kevin,
Given the fact that the B-Series suspension kit was fitted today and my journey back to Sheffield isn’t enough to fully run everything in, I feel I need to give you some initial feedback.
All the reviews and claims made about this set up don’t do it justice unless you experience the before and after for yourself.
If someone had said to me that this kit was developed by a team of Lotus F1 engineers in Hethel, I would not have questioned it.

Good Afternoon,
I have had a chance to let the suspension properly settle in and give the car some proper use now.

After scouring the internet in the pursuit of finding a remedy for the terrible standard suspension set up, and sifting through the large amounts of false promises and looks based ‘performance upgrades’, I decided to give Kevin and James a call.

Hi James
Just a quick note to say I got the 135 back today. Delighted with it. The manual is on another level, I really like the short shift actually. With the DGS and there being 8 ratios it was always just a little aloof, I always felt I was a gear too high or a gear too low right when it mattered. It’s all the old cliches but a manual really does make all the difference, you get to really drive the car now and appreciate the other upgrades much more as a package.
We bought our M140i because this is the last manual non-M car!
It's to be kept by Birds as a landmark in the history of BMW drivers' cars. It represents the pinnacle of BMW’s endeavours since the 1970s to create the ultimate driving machine. In our opinion, the disappearance of the true drivers' car is a consequence of a hugely misguided emissions strategy for the motor industry, and we think no cars built since 2019 will have the attributes required by those of us who enjoy driving.
