edition 30 vs R32

[R32UK]

Would love to see the edition 30 go round the top gear track 

I remeber however watching the ed30 up against the ST on 5th Gear or driven i think it was.. and the ED30 only just beat the ST. From what I can remember the track was a little more challenging than the flat top gear track.

Great Vid tho!! Love seeing the R32 peee all over the BMW 130M Sport.

we know you are a fan of R32. You big bad R32 eats E30 for breakfast. Can't you just relax now?

Took on board everthing that has been said, went for a test drive in a R32,rain bouncing down. R32 stuck to the road like glue,engine sounded great,dsg great, very fast car but there was something missing, the steering was a bit lifeless. I did not like the delay of the rear wheels when the fronts start to spin,went back a bit disapointed. Sat down had a cup of coffee then went out in a E30.All i can say it has got the X factor, the feed back threw the wheel gave me great confidence in the rain. I knew were the car was and what it was doing all the time,The dsg seemed better sutted to the 2 litre turbo than the R 32 engine. The R32 is like long relationships, safe and secure but lacks a bit of excitement. The E30 is like a new girlfriend the exitement is great she keeps you on your toes and you allways go back for moor. Went back to the showroom and put an order in for the first of march. SPEC E30 + cruise cntrol + armrest + bi-xenon + highline + RCD 500 + DSG. WHAT A DAY

Like the comparisons....of both cars and women

Both cars are great, if you can afford the price tag and running costs the R32 is the more special of the two and faster from A to B.

I don't visit this forum very often so as a casual observer I may have this wrong but… It seems that whenever the 3 forsaken letters are mumbled (R, 3 and 2), it’s met with an army of GTI owners trying to justify their purchase decision. The GTI isn’t an inferior product, it’s just has different priorities and is aimed at a slightly different market.

So, if I say the GTI and ED30 are leagues better in the handling, feel and speed departments over an R32, that makes it so does it ... no, I didn't think so!

I think it is just as fair to say that R32 owners jump in to justify how spending extra means that it is better car too. We all do it for our own reasons, some monetary, some for looks, some for sound, some for agility etc, but we all defend our main reason for buying it.....that we chose it!

But that's my point, why be so defensive?

hmm...in need for speed pro street the 0 - 60 time for the GTI is faster than the R32
