M140? One of my employees has one and it is very fast... on straight line speed puts my M2 at risk (or if you read the forums and watch YouTube beats it!)...

Not sure what the 0-100 times are? My M2 needs pretty much perfect dry conditions to get a decent launch compared to the gekko that is the RS4 B8!

You need TTS for this sort of shenanigans. Wipes the floor with pretty much everything bar the best of the best hyper cars.

140 pricing still puzzling!

This years Golf R. The deals on these are on a respective par with the Golf R & F10 M5 a few years ago.

Defo a bargain pocket rocket. Pal of mine picked up a blue one a few weeks back & loves it. A lot of car for the money.

Indeed

118d's are more expensive.

The GFV at 4yrs is >50% which along with the 3.9% APR and 22% discount from list makes it dirt cheap

Maybe the next hot 1series will be a 4banger, so they anticipate the last 6cylinder to hold its value well....their risk!

Nice one and the seats are real good for a non halo model. Audi should take note.
