Really interested to see what you think. With discounts I think the M140i is a performance bargain. 3.0 litre turbocharged six, 360 lbft torque and RWD whats not to like! Exterior styling isnt to everyones taste. Must admit I prefer the look of the M240i coupe shape but its around £5k more expensive. Golf R is a very good all rounder so let us know your feedback and any comparisons.

Car pricing is not based on cost+ but based on what people will pay for things.
True to a point, but generally a volume manufacturer will price 2 different bodytypes of the same high quantity car at a very similar price point. It seems odd that these are so far apart.damiank250 said:
Will let you all know . Was a bit of a mission to find a dealer - kept offering me a 135 at local garages . Had the golf for 2 and half years and enjoyed it but pcp is coming to an end . Also considering the amg and s3 but tempted by the discounts on offer on the m140
have you drven them? We drove them all when my missus wanted a new car last May - She likes fast cars!!! Coming from a 2.0 tfsi A3 she surprisingly didnt like the S3 or golf (too similar to A3?). Her fave was the A45 but was £550pm even with good discounts. The M135 was well up there, but i eventually found a stupid cheap lease on a 435d convertible and she couldnt be happier. Replacing it will be v hard...cheeky_chops said:

The lease deal was business users only (my OH is self employed but pays for it privately) - 435d cab msport with 10k pa, 9 + 23 @ £275 + vat = £2970 deposit, £330 per month. Total £10560 or 20.7% rrp(list £51k) Our local business bmw dealer matched the lease company so no £300 feee either! Ive not seen the coupe as cheap but the 335 saloon/tourer does occasionallySorry for going off topic OP!
