I had a lift in a 140 a few weeks ago and I was mildly impressed. I’ve not driven many 4 wheel drive cars, but I definitely prefer the the power coming from the rear of my S212 compared to the front; although the V6 chews through rear tyres for breakfast. You will notice the difference and of course the BMW ‘is’ the ultimate driving machine.
The key things I wasn’t too sure about was around the interior.
Yes it looks dated, in fact it reminds me of an updated version of my Audi B3 convertible. I can’t believe BMW still use the old school orange dials. But compared to your S3 I’m guessing it looks fresh.
Space was the other thing, or complete lack of. We were a group of four business men, which with our one night travel bags it was a struggle. It felt very cramped, particularly in the back, I am 5’11’, particularly when the guy in the front had to put his suit bag in his footwell. The space is more akin to an A1 rather than A3.
But anyhow, that’s just my opinion. I hope you get plenty smiles for your miles out of it.
