A proper BMW with a proper engine  And a serious price tag!

That looks okay actually. But for that sort of money, I rather fancy this beauty: https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1169851

Not sure about that for a daily driver Watts! 

£50k opens up a whole world of possibilities if you are prepared not to buy new.

Yeah, perhaps not on Wednesdays, otherwise fantastic!

Watched a couple more videos today.

Discovered that the headlights are dynamic matrix type as standard, which is nice.

Also I think I've chosen my colour from those videos too...

What colour have you decided on?  I liked Misano blue but after a remark from a work colleague all I can see is British Gas van blue!! 
If I do decide to go for one of these over an 'R' (or more likely a TCR) then I think for me it is going to have to be white.

Well I was going white because it's cheap... But white bmw's are a bit chavvy.. quite liked the blue from the TV adverts but today saw a YouTube guy with a long term loaner in storm bay metallic... It does really need a black edition but meh, it will do.

Storm Bay was my original choice but having seen a few cars at the dealers in that colour I was put off. It can look great but also can be very flat and taken on an odd mauve tone in dull light.

My money is that you're going to bottle it and get another Golf..... 

Don't think you'll be able to face leaving this great forum!

Obviously all of those grey colours are a bit marmite, but I've wanted that sort of colour for ages. The TCR obviously delivered it and it looks really good on the Golf!

The video I saw was this:

As I said, it would look better with the chrome trim swapped for black, but hey ho.

White... no, the red isn't as nice as Golf Tornado red, the blue... is bold. The other colours definitely not, so probably the grey.

And yes Jim, I really like this forum, it's a lot of fun even though I'm not a total petrol head or into modifying cars!
