More than happy with the 35 so can't see that going anywhere at the moment, it would take an Ed40 to tempt me out of it, mrs w I feel will be making the plunge but even she wants an Ed40 lol

It was a toss up between a new BMW M135i or new Golf Mk7 GTi.... As difficult decision it was, I went with the Golf in the end due to the fantastic deal the dealer was prepared to offer. Ordered yesterday... 5 door DSG in Pure White, with 19" Santiago Alloys, GTi Performance Pack & Adaptive Chassis Control.

Total list price came to something like £30,800 (including all the optional extra's).  Dealer was prepared to knock off £1K straight off, but with a little bit of haggling came down to £29K in the end (2 Year HP Finance @ 6.5%).  The deal breaker was the value on my part-ex, which was over 2.5k what the BMW dealer was prepared to offer me.

What I wasn't too happy about was that the price of the 5 door DSG went up £200 in a matter of a day. When I looked online on the Thursday it was £27,600 but when I went in on the Friday he told me it had gone up to £27,915! Cant complain really... very happy with the deal.

Hello All,

I ordered mine on Wednesday. Actually, I'm in a easy situation because I don't have a car right now as I have been abroad last few years.

It's a cash purchase non of this finance malarkey ;). I got £1155 discount, which is pretty good considering it's not on finance, which dealers are eager to offer.

I haven't decided on the the colour yet, cos I wanted the Carbon Grey Metallic, which I have now discovered is not an option :( so it might be white metallic black or Oryx white (a really cool colour)

My car:
