BMW M140i with M2 Touch: Barracuda Inferno Wheels Upgrade

This 2018 rear-wheel-drive hot hatch stands out partly thanks to the stunning Barracuda Inferno wheels. Measuring 8.5x19 inches at the front and 9.5x19 inches at the rear, these wheels feature a sleek Hyper Silver finish. They are paired with Michelin tires, sized 225/35R19 in the front and 245/30R19 at the back, ensuring maximum grip and performance on the road.

To complement the aggressive stance of the Barracuda wheels, the car has been equipped with ST XA coilover suspension, providing an optimal drop that improves both the vehicle’s handling and aesthetics. Additionally, strut braces and extra reinforcement add to the stability and dynamic performance.

Exterior Upgrades: M2-Inspired Styling

Tim's M140i boasts several visual upgrades that give it a striking M2 appearance. A front apron styled after the M2 Competition, paired with a carbon fiber front hood in the M2 CS design, dramatically enhances the car's front-end look. Further M-inspired touches include M-Style mirror caps, a Carbonwerk front spoiler lip, and Maxton Design side skirts.

At the rear, the modifications continue with a Rieger Tuning diffuser and side apron attachments, while a CSR Tuning roof spoiler adds aerodynamic flair.

Interior Modifications: M2 Steering Wheel

The M2 influence doesn’t stop at the exterior. Inside the cabin, Tim has installed an original BMW M2 steering wheel, providing a more immersive driving experience that ties the build together.

Engine and Performance Enhancements

Under the hood, the BMW M140i retains its stock powertrain an impressive three-liter B58 inline six-cylinder engine delivering 340 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. However, Tim made subtle modifications to the exhaust system, installing a Friedrich Motorsport 200-cell downpipe and an M Performance rear silencer for enhanced sound and performance.
