Latest spec BTW has actually deleted some things you used to get... I wouldn't call it an upgrade as such.

Do you know what's been changed / dropped then?

My mate has a BW4 ( guess it’s unconfirmed at this stage) and he wanted to add 19” alloys - no DCC, and apparently it’s gone from BW4 to no build week now  :undecided: so he’s planning on not adding them. So it looks like adding an option that doesn’t have a semi conductor causes delays too…

Looks like VW have removed the option to view the brochure on their website too

BMW quoting me Feb-March for delivery, my pal is the sales director and confirming today.

To be honest, any dealer of any marque quoting you delivery times for a car not yet made or even ordered is guessing.

I'd also be careful with BMW as they are trying to counter the component shortages by removing items from the spec... eg the touch screen!

Ive the chance of a 128ti which is in dealer stock new or i can go used m135i but need to wait 24hrs to see what they can do on a new 135i.

THe 128ti is considerbly cheaper than the clubsport too, i think it sits between a standard GTI and a CS but with nicer interior and better infotainment however not as good gearbox. The seats in an M135i are lovely though and both BMW interiors are miles ahead of the mk8 Golf.

Never got chance to drive the 128Ti, and found the M135i a tad too boring for me so orderded the R instead.

I did like the interior on the M135i however, nice place to be for an everday long distance car I would say.

The 135i msport seats are great, the ones in the 128ti not so much. In fact I was crippled after a day with it and cancelled my order because of that.

In mainland Europe you can spec the msport seats in the 128 but not in the UK...

M135i is an absolute rocket ship, that launch was incredible. Unfortunatley used ones looking unlikely as similar monthly to the new CS. New 135i is same wait time as the Golf CS. Most likely it will be the new 128ti if the dealer can reserve it today.
