Former R32 owner here too. I liked the AWD and the sound of the motor but that's it. The 135i driving experience is far more involving and rewarding.
I was holding out for the Golf R, but since it won't hit the USA till next year I gave up and went for the 135i. Can't say I have much desire to go back to VW. |

I will be trading my other car for a Golf R when it comes out in the new year. I passed on the R32 as it had a DSG. The Golf R will be stick only. Should be a great car.

I also had a 2008 R32 before my 135i
The things I miss are the AWD, exhaust note (had Borla catback), and the black headliner/aluminum trim The 135i is awesome though! Pic of my previous car: |

Came from a MK5 GTI, also rattled till the day it was sold. Decent car but can't compare it to a 135i, especially since mine has the BMW Performance exhaust which is actually quite shocking! A definite must-have

I came from a 2009 GTI and loved it but it was giving me issues so decided to get rid of it and although i loved it I havnt looked back since.

Agree with you, I miss the exhaust note. I had a Magnaflow Sport. I will miss the AWD this winter, but for now, I must say I prefer the RWD the AWD for summer conditions.

I loved flooring it through most any corners. My R had KW V3's, whiteline bushings/ALK, upgraded mounts, upgraded swaybar, upgraded Haldex, and dunlop direzza star spec tires among other fun mods...
Once I get a track day or 2 with my 1 I will probably be able to take certain corners as fast if not faster, might need to ditch the runflats for that also I took my R32 to the CA Speedway infield twice and once to the world-famous Laguna Seca, so much fun! |

Mine had H&R coilovers, Zimmerman/Hawk brakes, Neuspeed RSB, Pirelli P Zero tires on stock wheels. Handled very well. But my stock 1er with Michelin PSS turns quicker without knowing the limit of the car yet.
R32 was a great balanced car, but the 1er is really more fun. Yes, ditch the RFT! I did it last week and the car has so much more grip. |
