BMW 128ti Performance Test At Rockingham!

BMW's 128ti is a front-wheel drive hot hatch squarely aimed at the Golf GTI. It's terrific on the road, but how does it fare on track? Sam jumps behind the wheel and we get the stopwatch out at Rockingham...

Bring rockingham back I miss it rockingham was my childhood but sadly probably will never come back sadly

[@cinch]

We'd love to, but unfortunately in these times that dream is even further away. For now, we're happy to keep it as is :)

[@C22RLD]

Good video, i like mine but would love it in manual and a tad more extreme as you say.

[@cinch]

Thanks! Great choice :)

[@TheDrednaught]

Brilliant car I have one

[@risefromyourpain]

Love my 128ti

[@cinch]

Glad to hear it! Please tell us what you love about it and what your ownership experience has been like? /Jamil

[@martinnaylor]

Great review but at the end of the day the 128ti will just be blatted up and down a bypass from time to time and mainly driven round town,I sooo need one.🙂

[@cinch]

What makes you want one?

[@martinnaylor]

@cinch I own a 23 year old E39 which is a bit thirsty as a daily,the 128ti would be a perfect all-rounder.

[@manishg214]

I prefer the 135i pocket rocket!

[@eslameddinghalebi1]

Should have kept if RWD, people want cars at 200+ bhps in rwd

[@damirbajic4579]

No. Most people don't care. Thar is why BMW made 1 series fwd because 80 percent of the customers didn't know it was rwd.

[@billshoe22191]

BMW throwing historical badges at vehicles that have no right to wear them. I’d rather have an i30 N. When Hyundai, Ford, and Honda makes better vehicles than BMW maybe don’t throw the ti badge on your Mini Cooper

[@andyguildford]

It's a fair point, although faster doesn't always mean better!

[@user-yn3dz7tv8q]

I dont know how fast it is but foru sure is extremely ugly! How much i miss the f20!
