M140i

Is this the best hatchback?
I don't even like hatchbacks but this one seems perfect:
>cheaper than A45, RS3, Focus RS etc
>Rear wheel drive/RWD biased AWD available (not some haldex fwd shit)
>inline 6 twin turbo, 400hp wih a chip tune
>50/50 weight balance
>Manual transmission
>Good interior ergonomics
I've noticed Veeky Forums loving hatchbacks, why does nobody talk about the M140i?

America (tragically) doesn't get them.

>I've noticed Veeky Forums loving hatchbacks, why does nobody talk about the M140i?
Because it's not sold in the U.S, which is Veeky Forums's largest demographic.

It is the best hatchback by far but like the others said, not available in the us

Fuck that sucks.
I bet it would sell like hot stuff in america though, hatchbacks seem to be becoming quite popular there

it's quite shit
seems good on paper but it's quality is quite poor compared to 3 or 5 series, and that combined with modern bmw reliability plus the car being designed in such a way that even a minuscule malfunction forces you to visit bmw authorized service shop and only a retard would pick one, let alone tune it further

But doesn't BMW use clutch diffs like Audi?
Anything other than a mechanical diff is cuckery

BMW uses clutch diff but it is rwd biased not fwd like audi.
Are you implying modern bmw is worse than audi, merc, ford etc? Cause you're wrong.

Apparently has a very remote/poor driving feel compared to other hot hatches.

BMW USA, please take note of this. BRING IT TO THE US AND IT WILL SELL LIKE HOTCAKES. I WILL BUY ONE IMMEDIATELY
