The new BMW 128ti
Here is the new 128ti. Nice to see the Turismo Internazionale badge again!

Let's not forget the 1 Series tii Concept, based on the 135i Coupe and previewing BMW Performance parts.
E82 128i would've been the perfect BMW model to wear a ti or tii moniker.

This aside, I like it — although BMW will need to offer competitive pricing in all markets to compete against the Golf 8 GTI.

A DSG equipped MK8 GTI starts at £34,960.00 Obviously equipment levels differ between the 2 cars. |

It will be interesting to see like-for-like spec pricing. But here in Australia, I've just read we'll only get 180kW, not 195 This often happens with VAG cars, allegedly due to "hot climate" / "fuel quality" issues. First time I've seen BMW offer a detuned car, and odd given the same motor is offered with full fat output in the M135i, X2 M35i as well as various MINI JCW variants

Yes... The thing I noticed, playing on the configurators for both, was that some things that are standard on the GTI are extra on the 128... so the BMW may end up a little more expensive than a similarly specified Golf if you like your extras on top of the base spec...

To be fair, they are equally as bad as the blue ones in the 135 (IMHO of course)... 😉

Those Ti ones do look amazing,.... in the 10 year old F21-22 which to me they look almost identical to but ETTO. Back then those days for me are when.BMW were leagues behind other marquee interiors.

Must say that the 128 has kind of disappointed me in a way... the exterior look is a bit tacky alongside my golf 7.5 and the "black only" grille is a bit marmite... also, so many things that you might actually want on the car are extra cost items, and I ended up at £40k on the configurator quite easily... ... and the armrest cover... that's shocking...

Propel will say, ah Chris but it's lighter, however U.K. certain in real world driving it would be behind the Mlite. I think the pricing is about 4K too much but maybe the discounts will adjust yada yada and let's be honest it's good to have options in this segment.

The way I would specify the car, the 128 comes out at close to £40k... An M135 with similar spec, £43.5... (all list prices) Interestingly... The 128 comes out broadly the same price as a Golf GTI when matched with a half decent set of options on them... (the Golf is significantly cheaper if you don't want leather seats)... and the 135 comes out roughly in S3 territory when spec matched (so quite likely Golf R territory as well)... So I suspect pricing points are deliberate and many 128's will not have on them the sorts of spec I am putting into the configurator... The main thing that puts me off the 128 is the black grille...

I suspect BMW will never wish to admit, at least in respect of their MRP, that the 128ti should be cross-shopped with the Golf GTI. But, once they're in the dealership, it will be a different matter
