The 140 is a Cadillac compared to the 126. Quieter, softer, lighter steering... A lot of the systems are understood by now so there's plenty of support to keep the systems going, even systems the 126 never had like closing assist. This site and v12uberalles.com should keep you going.

I've had 2 140s and 4 126s and as magnificent as the 126 is I don't think I'll ever go back.

What is it that makes people back away from the 140.... the electrical.

I know the engine has a bad rep but read somewhere that if it doesn't happen early on in the engine life <150k then most likely it won't


Is the swap pretty straight forward to put the 3.0 in..... everything plug and play??
