Stage 2 M140i | 283RWKW/630NM | Ecotune
With Deakin‘s M140i, we have a bit of a split personality on our hands; it’s been a while since we’ve come across something with this much duality.
In standard comfort drive modes, it has the best street manners one could ask for. Comfortable and refined with a driver-centric cockpit to pilot from. Ecotune Stage 2 ECU/TCU accentuates its excellent driving characteristics, delivering improved torque response and drastically improving shift behaviour.
It’s not until you move it to its Sport+ mode and tickle the traction button that you understand how bonkers this platform is. This much torque in a lightweight RWD chassis with a (now) responsive 8-speed transmission has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. Torquey, tail-happy, and responsive.

We love it!
This build is far from done, with further handling modifications, diff upgrades, aesthetic modifications and who knows what else, the final form for this car is going to be something to behold.
