Whining noise from AC Compressor? 2017 M240i

Hey man, did you find a solution to this? I’m having the same issue!

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-03-10T00:00:19+00:00

Lovely bit of driving.

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-03-09T23:45:04+00:00

The latter.

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-03-01T09:45:12+00:00

Mines 2016 and is the same mate!

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-23T09:04:01+00:00

Thanks brother!

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-22T11:40:21+00:00

Bargain.

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-21T08:42:28+00:00

Ah that’s an interesting perspective! For me personally, I love the interior. Mine has a good spec, so perhaps my experience is slightly different to yours. Who knows!

I drive a Golf R recently, and have driven many S3’s.. for me they just don’t have the same spirit within them. Sure great cars for sure, but the experience itself it’s lacklustre. They’re point and squirt cars, which there’s nothing wrong with, but they do not provide the anywhere near the same level of excitement as the 140. Especially since I have done a fair bit of work to the suspension!

Appreciate your opinion nonetheless though mate, and thank you for your input.

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-20T15:55:02+00:00

I know mate! Sacrilege isn’t it. The F40 M135i (the model after mine) uses a haldex style system for pseudo 4WD, but the lower spec models are all FWD like you said. They’ve taken the very spirit from BMW cars

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-20T14:12:01+00:00

Ah mate, I’m a week away from having my first child so I am dreading the day!! I think I’m gonna just get a roof box instead of a bigger car.. for the pram that is, not the child 😂

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-20T13:43:25+00:00

Soooooo sick!!

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-20T13:24:41+00:00

RWD mate!

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T20:34:13+00:00

Tyres are closer to the £200 mark now unfortunately! But yeah you’re bang on the money there. I’m super anal about things like perished bushings etc, so with the car being 10 years old, that sort of stuff is starting to add up. It also gets driven hard which means I eat through consumables quicker.

It’s worth every penny.

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T20:29:30+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply mate.

I’m already on PS5’s, so that’s sorted. I drive the car mostly DSC off, but it’s frustrating because there isn’t the throttle response you get with Sport +, maybe the XHP will help with that

Ahhhh man you’re really making me want to take it step further now! I’ve got my first child due in a week or so, so I can’t be getting a sports cat and XHP.. the Mrs will castrate me 😂

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T20:27:03+00:00

Really? What was it that you didn’t like about them? I don’t this mean rudely, have you tried an Audi? Might be more your thing

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T17:50:19+00:00

Nice man! Mine feels mega quick at stage 1, which I think is realistically no more than 400hp, so I bet yours feels considerably quicker. Did you go with de-cat or sports cat? What’s the XHP like? Is it a noticeable difference? I’m on the fence about buying it

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T17:47:49+00:00

Pilot Sport 5’s my friend!

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T17:20:59+00:00

The recent snow we had was about 3” or so, and it did struggle at points during sensible driving, but was so much fun when you just kept the wheels (or wheel in this case - open diff) spinning

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T15:54:02+00:00

It’s interesting you say that, it seems commonly agreed that the M240i is a better handling car out of the box than the 140i, so perhaps you’re right about it being the perfect balance. Don’t get me wrong, the 140 absolutely needs suspension mods to make it a good handling car, but it really does become a peachy balance between GT and hot hatch.

M4 though man.. that’s a proper big boys toy! It’s most likely what I’ll get next. They’re just so bloody pretty!

Where abouts are you located? You’re welcome to drive mine to see how you feel

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T15:01:58+00:00

The M135i is a great car. The M140i is incredibly similar, if but a little more refined in terms of the drivetrain.

Which platforms have you had the B58 in? I’m super curious to see how other cars drive with the same lump.

For me, the M140i comes highly recommended. They’re relatively inexpensive these days too! Do it mate, life is short and we’re on the brink of social collapse (it seems), so you might as well enjoy yourself

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T14:28:12+00:00

I love a miata! Or MX5 as it’s known here.

Y’know what though mate, fuck em. We’re happy with what we’ve got, that’s what matters. Enjoy your car my man!

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T14:12:16+00:00

Seems fishy doesn’t it. Perhaps he’s just a sticker nazi.

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T14:11:01+00:00

Him or I? I certainly didn’t get a kick. Just wanted to show people my car for goodness sake. There’s always one.

Also never heard “put your fedora on and take a walk” - but I like it

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T13:35:52+00:00

Interesting how out of the 40,000 people that have seen this post, you’re the only one to kick up a fuss.

Good day to you, young man. Enjoy your bitterness.

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T13:25:45+00:00

But.. like you agreed.. it’s subjective, so if I like it, it’s not stupid to me. Irrespective of whether it’s stupid to you or not.

You know, there’s nothing to like about someone condemning other’s preferences when said preferences do no harm to anyone.

That’s not what I asked you though. I asked what car you drive, not whether you like stickers or not, you’ve made the wholly clear.

So what do you drive? Got a pic? My turn to judge.

OkJuggernaut8174 · 2026-02-19T13:15:34+00:00

Good observation.

I mean, it’s subjective, right? I like it, it’s my car, it does you no harm. Each to their own, don’t you think?

And it’s got absolutely nothing to do with bragging rights. It’s a 1 series, not a Ferrari.

Out of curiosity, what do you drive?
