Not sure that's a mark 7 golf r and the F30 looks lowered to me?
That said I do prefer the looks the BMW but it's not exactly a stunner in the grand scheme of things |

The golf just didnt keep up from the start and due to it having a lower speed was not keeping up. The golf was in the right gear so was sitting at around 4k revs but the 335d was in drive. Only when he used the paddles gears thats the 335 was quicker than the golf. This was tested 3 times in both scenerios

Home at last. Been driving my fabulous F30 in sport mode all day. Hit --- mph! Shocking! Bloody marvellous. It is so smooth in sport mode. But it is a big mother and nowhere as manoeuvrable as a 7R. Not in a month of Sundays. The 7R with DSG will eat my F30 for breakfast on the twisty bits and even more so on the straights. This is a given. The ride in comfort is quite amazing but with excellent handling. Very flat in whichever mode. It is pretty mental in Track mode. They are both excellent cars but the 7R has a more jewel like interior and I love the four massive exhausts. So brutal. I have made the right choice for 'me' and got a cracking deal.

I went to Vehicle Savers. Am an old returning customer, got them a few more, so negotiated like mad.
People are going bananas with the lease deals. Will be pulled soon as it can't go on. http://www.rforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=5398

Just my kind of car. Small, extremely fast and exceptionally manoeuvrable. Brilliant.

looks great, blue is a nice deep colour and I recall both the alloy options were lovely on the VW. Heard bad things about VW group diamond cut wheels though.
Interior on the R for me felt like it wouldn't age too well from a quality perspective, it had plenty of stuff going on though. Great package for the price really and quite the performer. Over on the 2 series thread there was a test in the wet vs an M235i and the 4WD R smashed it really.

I am sorry you are so wrong about this. The look truly fabulous. The pathetic twin pipes on the 330d/335d are an embarrassment.

Haha! That is your opinion and that is his opinion. No-one is right or wrong it's just a matter of personal taste.

Anyway, our 2nd F30 has been badly damaged just now in a London Car Park. The driver's side has been smashed (front wing and driver's door) and the driver's door is difficult to open. It was going in next week for the rear bumper to be replaced. Now it is an even bigger job. No note left. Bastards. We are checking whether they have CCTV.

So even when you get the Golf, you won't be done with your BMW dealership as you have the other 330d?
