Mk5 to Mk7

GTImike:
I'll put my two pennies worth in, I've just done the same route, albeit had a 2012 BMW X5 30d for 12 months in between.

I owned a Mk5 Ed 30 for 6 years and loved it, never failed to put a smile on my face. Then went a bit sensible with the X5 but what a dull car to drive.

Picked up a 2017/66 plate Mk7 R (pre facelift) yesterday after driving my father in laws 2018 7.5 R DSG a few weeks ago. I immediately put the BMW up for sale and got on the lookout for one.

As everyone else says, just an evolution of the Mk5 but with added toys and a bit comfier. Not night and day difference to drive but that engine...wow. My Edition 30 was stage 2 tuned so it wasn't slow but the R feels far more meaty even standard.

I will say the Mk7.5 is an even better place to sit with its virtual dash etc but I couldn't justify paying such a premium for one brand new.

As Mike says above.. I too went from stg2 Ed30 to MK7 GTI PP.. Both DSG. Really enjoyed my eddie,nearly 5 years of ownership and now really enjoying the MK7 farts and all.
Just waiting warranty end then off to Revo.
