Bill's experience with the VW GTI/GTD launch fiasco caused him to look elsewhere - and who can blame him?

Bill's also comparing a deal on the GTI when he ordered some months ago with a deal available now on the M135i, so the BWM in comparison is good value (especially considering his options of PP and Leather which must have pushed the GTI price close to / above the M135i).


I'm not disputing these facts.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't aimed at you Jimble  :wink:
Cancelled GTI, M135i beast mode.

Picked her up 30mins ago!

Lighting was actually really bad for these photos but I went overboard anyway!  I'll post a few, click through to the album if you want to see the others (http://imgur.com/a/4uhn0#6aO7VgG).  I really like the colour. :cool:

Congrats Bill! She's a fine car. Love that colour. You weren't too far behind Mark after all.

What you doing on this forum just now, you should be taking her out for a blast  :grin: :grin: Get out there man!

Looks aside (I prefer the Golf inside and out, so i'll not dwell on it), how did it drive (the real reason you bought it - and the lack of wait)? That colour seems to show it at it's best. It's great when you finally get your hands on your new car. Does it irk you that you could've been driving one of these in June? :whistle:

Anyway, feel free to feel smug as my GTD is starting to fall to bits!  :grin: (handbrake issues)
