It has the very same 7-speed dual-clutch, and it suggestions the scales at 1,535 kg. If you want to purchase a brand-new one, it costs around ₤ 48,000.

      Looks like a high spec Ford Focus sorry. Their styling is all over the place. I also agree about the engine, should have kept the 3 litre, it was what set it apart and sounds fantastic.

      The F70 BMW M135 is down on power and torque from the F40 M135i with a different gear box. So this wasnt a surprise. I guess it depends on how they would have brought back the M140i. The last model was a different class i.e not 4cyl + 2 litre like the rest, and it was rear wheel in the UK, which may have struggled in the test. They may have ruined the M140i, if they had brought that back too, as I’d have expected that to compete against the RS3 and A45
