I am surprised at the cars fuel efficiency, I am doing 9.5L/100kms and I suspect it will only get better as the engine is run in.
I previously had a 2008 135i with only a JB4 and the stock power of the M140i feels comparable but a lot smoother in its delivery, I attribute this to the ZF 8 speed TM. The ride is also a step forward, the adaptive dampers really help iron out the road imperfections where in my 135i the suspension would crash and bottom out, fair assessment as both cars had Michelin PSS tyres fitted.

I didn't ordered mine with the adaptive dampers because who have them in the M135i, adviced me not to choose them, as the stock suspension is already very comfortable and "right stiffed" for a normal every day use. As you're driving yours since two weeks, as far as the sound, is it true that, compared to the M135i, from the inside is noticebale the induction noise instead of the classic "turbo blow"?
