128ti undercuts GTI

Aside from the sticker, they'll all just swap out/wrap anyway I'm sure?

Yes in theory you could pop off the red bits and replace them with black ones. Both are available as spares.

You could also put the red bits onto a blue car (which you can't order).... I think they missed a trick not having the red on blue - looks really good on an atlantic blue GTI for example.

Better off wrapping the canards as it’s a bumper off job to replace them I’m told.

There's also the ones in the rear bumper... that are deep inside of a hole:

Its still not the actual UK road test that i know people are waiting for - in fact there haven't been any road tests of a production model yet, in any country.

Which is weird given the availability of demonstrators, dealer stock and customer orders actually delivered....

I also encountered my first pet hate about BMW.... no height adjuster on the B pillar for the seatbelts.

Its not a BMW thing - not even on expensive cars.

Something Renault have on a 12k sh1tbox, but BMW can't offer. Nice.

Looks good. He wasn’t overly excited though!

No, hanging out in BMW land I notice that there isn't the same passion as there is for Golfs.... most of them have had a 25 litre 8 series and decided to buy a smaller car and really don't care much at all as long as it has some ghastly orange leather interior.
