Can't keep up with your car moves! - What happened to the M3?
Newer spec wheels are nicer imo, but overall, good choice. Keep OEM exhaust too!
Was planning on buying a house, so sold it for a 197 Cup to be more sensible/save money (plan was to maybe get rid of the Trophy as well), but the 197's mpg didnt warrant the lack of speed, & it wasnt as fun as the Trophy. So i sold it after 3 weeks. Then bought a 330i Sport touring for Le Mans - to carry the fridge/luggae etc, then got rid of that when i got back as the R32 came up at a good price ...
Stuck my plate on the Golf today, so thought id take a little picture:
Loving it so far tbh, great car to cruise up & down the motorway in, whilst having that lovely rasp when you want to push on a bit. Not missing manual for day to day cruising about/traffic jams either to be honest!! Stereo is awesome as well, & the bass makes the rear window shake
Mpg is hovering at 29 now, so no worse than an auto 330i, but the DSG is much better for 'fun' driving, BMW auto is more one dimensional, ie bargelike. Amazed at how much better the R32 is than the Gti though, literally worlds apart!! Big engine, smallish car ftw. Tempted to get an Evoms V-Flow ar intake for it, if only as the air filter is huge & will no doubt sound quite epic.
