128ti or M135i?
Hi F40 folks!
I am actually looking to replace my 2019 Golf 1.5 TSi with something more sporty. The 128ti kept my attention. The car will be our family car and I wanted to know if someone was able to compare the ride quality of the M135i vs the 128ti? My only concern is if the car is too harsh. Otherwise I am sure it will be a good uprgade after the Golf. Thx in advance for your help!

If you can find a deal for an m135i than go for it. It will retain the value over the years way better than the Ti.
If you are leasing the car then the difference will be less than u think, at least in Switzerland is like this. You pay almost the same per month. An 120d was quoted more expensive than the 135i per month, due the lost of value of the car over the years. |

Do you know what is exactly the M Performance Packet? Seems to delete all practical stuff in the boot (which is important for me because I have 2 kids and I plan to use the car for vacation when possible). Thx in advance !

Thank you for your feedback!
I will go for a M135i in Melbourne Red without Perf package since all the cool features are deleted. AWD will have better resale value in Switzerland plus the car seems to be a little more comfortable than the 128ti. Have to discuss the deal with my dealership tomorrow (They have to take my Golf back).

They let me try a new car (150kms on the clock) so I didn't push it but I am confident it has enough power for us. My idea is now to go for a Perf package with adaptative suspensions. Still debating for the sunroof.

Still the non adaptive suspension is firm but not uncomfortable. So I hope sooner or later we have other 135i around us. |

They are not delivered with runflats in France (19"). I was told this was something to do with emissions. Mine was delivered with Bridgestone Potenza S005
However, the winter tyres (18") ordered at BMW are continental runflats. |

Thank you! It is better not to have runflats on these sporty cars (especially on summer tires)

Mine is on 19" wheels and the roads here are terrible. The ride is not too bad and I am glad I opted for them as it looks so much better. Compared to my JCW with adaptive and 18" it is more comfortable and is only trumped by my 8 Series that being bigger and more sophisticated had a better ride. The M135i is better than both though for hustling around the lanes. So far only missing the fully autonomous driving of the 8, but that did not work very well anyway on UK roads compared to NL and DEU. If I was still in The Netherlands the 19" wheels would be no problem at all, as I said even here in UK not as bad as I feared.
