M135i OR GOLF R? Which One Do I Think Is BETTER?

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

Good to meet some of you at Fuel Fest today 👌 My finance website is here: www.bincaretail.co.uk I’ve got some good content coming so make sure you’re subscribed for what I’ve got coming. 50k incoming 🚀

[@P3TR0LH3AD95]

Was looking out for you the whole day 😂 saw Ricky and had a little chat, wanted to see the M135i

[@Rk_suenlight]

I would prefer golf r cause the back looks stunning with the 4 exhaust tips

[@Troybwoyy]

Could you input the name of the tunes you use? Would be much appreciated (anyone that knows could reply would help lol)

[@Spudcracker]

So are you going to be tuning the M135i or selling it on? I want to see what you could do with it even if it was just full bolt ons.

[@stuartherring8307]

Beautiful BMW

[@phantom2k10]

the rwd 6pot is always going to be the more driver focused,enjoyable car.the golf r is just a point and go car that gets boring after a while regardless of the power output

[@thatpersiandude7386]

Yep

[@sn95onsite83]

BMW. RWD. Is a proper drivers car. Aren't you bored of the car driving its self for you? Love brodi.

[@iKevvinm]

Basically the Golf R is the girl you went to school or work with you find her attractive you know what she likes and doesn't she accessible, the M135 on the other hand is the mysterious girl you meet on a night out also attractive but very unpredictable will you go home with her? will she give you blue balls? who knows? and this adds to the excitement :D

[@manofwar577]

Weird analogy creepy dude.

[@lloydjenkins1572]

I didn't watch to see if I wanted a golf r or a 135i but i did come away thinking about getting an e36 328i 😂

[@djjackjones1]

The fact that Chris Harris rates these over RS3’s, they can’t be that bad!

[@jamesr8897]

Never been in a golf r, but own a m140i and think it’s a great everyday driver. More than happy to walk passed the M4 and drive the m140i . You should compare m135i against the m140i 👍🏻

[@haidersohail1649]

M135i all the way. ZF gearbox with Widescreen Satellite Navigation. But it has gotta be a 2014 model onwards. Purely for the steering wheel

[@oliveradamson2957]

I prefer the width of the older shape wheel tbf, I loved mine on my M135i, got an m2 now & thinking of getting it beefed up & wrapped in Alcantara. Ye the newer ones look better but from having both I don't feel you have as much grip/control with the newer wheel

[@haidersohail1649]

@@oliveradamson2957 oh that's good information to know. I'm planning to get a 118i M Sport 2012+ so already I am planning to purchase a 2014 wheel. My dad has got that wheel on his 2015 BMW X5 M Sport so I already love it. I am 19 so I cannot afford the insurance on my fav car which is the Toyota GT86 TRD or the M135i but I will be happy with a 118i M Sport but I dont mind the smaller screen

[@mju7752]

Thanks for not answering you're own question lol...

[@nahnatsnotme937]

M140i over a golf R anyday but I’m biased although my dads mk7.5 R is a better all rounder it’s just boring and predictable

[@scott9092]

I have owned both these cars M135i and the new golf r 7.5 both autos and after having the golf r for 2 years i still always miss the M135i that i had for a year great engine and the ZF auto box is by far better than the DSG hands down M135i is the drivers car and had the most fun in it even thinking of getting a M140i auto now lol but obv in the wet cant beat the AWD

[@leemo432]

I agree totally plus the zf gearbox is far more reliable also.

[@scott9092]

Tekashi69 Dad 100% golf r long as its the 7.5 thts the one i had 👍🏻 better exhaust note loud dsg farts plus new dsg box plus upgraded styling etc👍🏻

[@davh2141]

I have one of these and love it....until you get a cold spell and the roads are damp and wet you find yourself efffing and blinding when there is no traction whatsoever and a 1.0 litre fiat cruises past you 😂

[@bigjak7358]

True that, no so in the damp but in the snow and ice its ridiculous

[@davh2141]

big jak it’s frustrating to hell in the snow, almost un-drivable

[@sparky6996]

Winter tyres all you need

[@youngstayoung6633]

The minis got bags of personality the look the sound the rawness of it.

[@liambrennan2605]

Its a very difficult decision one I've been wrestling with myself Golf is a very very good all round car a bit soft on the limit.For me M135i won my fourth BMW i just like the way they drive keep you on the edge of your seat and they are a fair bit cheaper for a decent low mileage one.I got a three door manual as could stretch the extra for the Auto which is what i wanted.But more than happy

[@simonnelson7770]

Hope this helps but test drove a golf R, an Audi S3 and an M240 (same as 135 or 140) Golf R was 300bhp and relatively boring, S3 the same, M240 340bhp 3 litre straight six rear wheel drive. If you want to pose but your not a great driver or your a bit scared of old school thrills go for the golf or Audi, otherwise the BMW is a no brainier. Had mine for 18 months and driven in snow and wet with no problems at all, don't be scared and buy a proper car

[@DHODN]

The only thing I dont like about the BMW is the interior. Way worse than the Audi.

[@Bmwbroo]

@@DHODN I’m looking out the window when driving enjoying the proper drivers car that it is so it’s not a big deal it’s decent inside w the pro nav and Harmon kardon speakers especially shadow edition is better inside

[@sanderfrigolagroen5871]

A m135i X-Drive does have a clear edge over the Golf R. Comparing those 2 would made it easy for you to conclude that the Beemer would definetely be the much better choice. Golf looks and drives like a compact family car no matter how you dress them the BMW have the looks matching where these of cars or meant for that is: FUN. Also a 6 cilinder engine in a hatchback is getting rare you still can get a 2019 build with 6 cilinder sadly also bmw throws in the towel with the 2020 1 series with no 6 cilinder available.

[@OlittoTV]

Just realised the 600bhp Golf R is up for sale on Binca's main site, such a shame the winner didn't keep it

[@MrH88]

[@martinarscott3524]

Yeah I noticed that, I got 3.8 from VW....

[@Tight--LiNeZ]

There's an option in the iDrive system that allows you to turn off the 3 step indicators and make them way more normal & less annoying BMW-ey to use.

[@thepieman8664]

135i all day long I’ve had both and the Golf (whilst a very capable car) is as dull as dishwater in fact the GTI PP I had previously was a more fun drive, plus you can’t beat a straight six....

[@meady200]

Totally agree! Both great but being able to scare yourself at the flick of a right foot is all sewn up with RWD

[@rafordy]

924 had 2.0 Litre 4 cylinder Audi engine, which would not pull the skin off a rice pudding

[@tonysheabo]

[@decsmith8919]

Never driven a golf r. Owned a m135i for about a year now . 400bhp. However , only being able to put the power down 10 days a year is annoying .

[@chiel-]

How is the reliability?

[@decsmith8919]

@@chiel- service every year then it’s good . Only problem I had was front suspension coilovers snapped randomly when putting my foot down.

[@ma02acjbeemer38]

You HAVE to review that e36 ❤️😍

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

Until the Golf gets its V6 back it’s going to have to be the M135i for staying true to its origins.

[@Niffty83]

Love it all, but I think the reception part would benefit with a nice leather suite for customers.

[@ashykings]

Yes brother! Right answer! I have driven both and have a golf R and they are just different!!!

Love to hear that e36 328i engine

[@thepieman8664]

At this moment (just for a few days) I have both sitting on the drive and whilst not denying the Golf is a great car it’s the 135 all day long for me.

[@danielwarren2355]

What a cop out 😂 you know the 135i is better 😘

[@ryancaunce3142]

135 much better car, the old 944 porsche tho, that needs a review..

Calvin what's your thoughts on a manual golf R? I've always had manual cars not sure id like the DSG?

[@gsmini1749]

Rich Weston DSG is a lot less fun on windy roads but for straight lines and street races, DSG all day long. I enjoyed my DSG but have recently gone back to manual, I enjoy manual a lot more but miss the DSG sometimes.

[@andy00grant]

I'm late to this video for some reason. But the thing that put me off a golf was car reviewers constantly say how safe and predictable they are that's why I bought an M140i over the golf. Plus the golfs are fairly expensive .

[@almapal_e93]

I'd have either of them in a heartbeat

@goldengraemes there you go pal

[@richardthompson6312]

Here I was hoping this review would put some light between the 2. I currently drive a mk3 focus RS, I'm looking to change to either a golf r or a m135i. So far I'm swaying towards the bmw

What's the reason for the swap...just asking as iam thinking the same road throwing the rs in for BMW m135 and get it to stage 2 ...they not that expensive either witch surprised me
