My GTI is near enough £32k.

If it is ever built that is.

Which will probably be right on R money. Makes you think

Kind of goes along the same lines as the 135i though? Yeah it'll be 32k but once you've added the extras it'll soon be 36-37k! :sick:

135i or M135i?

The M is cheaper than a GTI at practically the same spec simply because BMW are offering 17% discounts.  The beemer dealers I'm talking to know I won't deal unless I get the equivalent spec to the GTI for less money.  Car is not to everyone's taste though of course.

Goes on sale in Ireland in December and starts at €53000..! :shocked:

That's a €20000 premium over the GTI here.

easy but expensive. clocks are only held in by two screw's and a locking cable at the back. only problem is you need both keys recoded to the clocks. r clocks are about 199 with dealer coding at 130ish. I've currently got diesel r clocks in my tiguan and they are very nice.
