Urban   56.5
Extra urban   78.5
Combined   68.9


This must be an error for the GTI right?

Even that seems a bit high.

I didn't, my mate sent me that, but it seems they've changed the website again.

I'm pretty sure these MPG figures being thrown about are all wrong. It's supposed to be mid 40's

Hi everyone,

Been following this topic for a few days now.

Who says discounts aren't possible ?  basically got nearly 5%

Went to my dealer today and gave him my desired spec and it came to  £32,155 and I said I only want to pay £31k. He went and spoke to his manager and 15 mins later he was congratulating me ;)

However, he also said that when the official pricing comes out I would have to pay any difference if it was higher than the printed off price list I took with me (the one off the posted link) and vice versa. Meaning if the total price comes to less than the our agreed price I would enjoy the benefit too.

So at late afternoon my discount was £1155 and now it's £1390 !!

I chose:





Base price now £27,915.00


Whats going off The base prices have changed again  The brochure said one price, the config another... Now look  :shocked: back up to the brochure price...

Am I going mad and seeing things... Someone please confirm...   (not that I'm mad I allready know that):undecided: :undecided: :undecided:

bmw isn't a premium brand it's a common brand :D
BMW= Mainstream. Ok I agree but it is common :smug:

It's good to believe in something even if it is dilusional.  ::)


Not dilusional, i remember when someone thought their GTI was fantastic :whistle:

My Mk6 GTI was a fantastic car. But things move on.
