Do it jimmy, do it!

Get rid of the run flats and chip the b!tch, they chip to about 360bhp with a lovely straight biturbo power curve. Rear wheel drive go on son do it!

You will have to treat the throttle with respect or it will send you into a delightfull power slide. It's not as "fun" as the gti if that's what you like but way more driver focused and serious. Proper car you'll love it.

Oh and test drive the harmon kardon wireless, it's the bomb in a 3 series.

Shame you won't be able to use it when it's snowy, better keep the GTI as a winter car  :laugh:

depending on where you are, it doesnt snow that much in the UK. Do it and be happy!! cant argue with RWD for fun :wink:

Yeah altough a few years ago I had an MR2 Turbo without traction control or stability control and lost it round a big round about whilst thinking that I was good at power slides - I was not!!!




I lol'd a lot - I nearly wrapped up my EVO6 in a similar incident

I never run out of talent... Honest!
I don't believe in global warming, sorry.
How are speed bumps legal?
I dislike lorry drivers who block lanes in traffic.

See I never seem to run out of talent. Plus I have the perfect car. The annoying thing for me is that when I'm in the middle of my brilliant driving I tend to wake up.  :grin:

Saw a parked one in Met Orange yesterday and front on it looked nice, but all other angles just didn't work for me.
Current: GTI Edition 35 Candy White 5dr DSG 19" Glendale, RCD510+DAB, Dynaudio, Storage Pack, Parking Sensors

Gone: Edition 35, GTI Mk6, Edition 30, GTI Mk4, GTI Mk3, GTI Mk2 and my favourite the UR quattro
For those that dont know DSG is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox
