A 125i? Wouldnt you need a 135i for 400bhp?
You would. I considered a 135 for my next car. :driver: The weight put me off tough, for such a small car it's HEAVY. A 335 is only 40kg's more!

Not amazingly light I know, but they seem to shift the weight with ease.. Like most performance BMW's, they seem to go a lot better than the power/weight suggests..

 ^^ Very true. Would you not be tempted by a 335? Not much more weight, but a much nicer package.

What have I missed?

I went away this afternoon and come back this evening and we've gone from an R20 to a BMW :confused:

The 3 series is lovely though. The new 335D is lovely. Went out in one of my mate's ('09 plate) and the new Satnav is phenomenally good.

Haha...just read that and after a ride in a 335D all that stuck in my mind was the satnav :laugh:
Golf R gone.

I know someone who's got a brand new 09 3-series 2-door petrol 6-cyl Beemer - Fabulous car and much more desirable than a Scirocco imo.

bmw are having alot of issues with the 3.0 twin turbo last time I was on the bmw forums. Considered getting a 335i instead of the leon, but the reliability issues and the not so stellar tuning options at the time put me off.

Must admit I heard someone else mention that on SCN before, but after being on the E90 forums for sometime now (trator I know  :grin: ) I have to say I haven't come across it at all (or certainly no more than any other marque)..  :confused:
I wouldn't be going bonkers with the tuning on a 135i (if I went down that route) anyway, probably just stick with software as I know how quick my mates one is with just that (360bhp)..

Despite its bulk, the 135i is the modern day E30 M3 - Remap, tweak of ARB to dial out the soccer Mom safety understeer and a proper LSD..... they're an absolute monster and very rewarding.

I got sooooo close to buying one.
Sideways yo!

The more and more I think about it, the more ridulous this £28,500 list price is for the .:R  :stupid: I mean it's £1k more than it's S3 cousin for god sake and although the S3 is due for change in the next year or so, I have to say for what is basically the same car, i'd save my money and go for the S3 if I was to choose between the two.
Problem is if I were to order one I would want DSG, Nav and Recaros. Which is going to put the Golf up to nearly £34k and that's before I put anything else on it like armrest, MFSW etc. So £35k for a Golf and I very much doubt there will be any discounts handed out either. Sorry but that is frankly ridiculous!!!!
Now where's that BMW brochure..  :ashamed:
