Definitely going to be on my list of cars to seriously consider when it comes time to change the GTI...
Having lived with the GTI for nearly 18 months I am convinced this sort of price/performance level is the perfect solution for a "hot hatch" in 2020/21... Just about any warm/hot hatch is going to be a compromise of what you do in the car for 90% of the time vrs the times when you want to have a little fun... So it has to be economical, well packaged, and fun... Which is what the original Mk1 Golf GTI did well... Being honest, my Mk7.5 GTI is pretty much there, but I would like it to have a bit more of the refinement of my previous 3-er BMW's... The 1-er does, I have driven it, so I can imagine that a 128ti is pretty close to how I would blend up a warm/hot hatch...

And, with the JCW GP around, it should be no issue to tune a bit more 'fizz' into that motor 😉
With a little more wheelbase and track width, it ought to handle very well, too.

I reckon this will be a good seller as its a detuned m135i B48 engine rather than a tuned up 330i B48 engine which already has pretty good power and torque Last edited by knali8; 09-19-2020 at 01:33 AM.. |
