NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted September 10, 2020 I've driven both GTIs and R32, and owned an Audi A3 3.2 DSG. Would still take a manual 130i over them but the DSG is super nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ain't that the truth! Cool car, but ultimately really flawed. Nice in the blue, too. Tasty details, appears to have been sympathetically built. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do sound and look nice but not sure there are too many other upsides. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted September 14, 2020 I really liked mine. It was comfy, handled well and the engine was lovely. Shame the electrics were flaky and the floors were rusting quicker than anyone could fix them. A gta would be worth owning, but I wouldn't bother with the normal models.

BozzaFC 300 Report post Posted September 14, 2020 My first car. 2.5 V6 with the 6 spd. Absolutely adored it. Had great handling, looked fantastic, and was super comfortable. Biggest downside was the quality of the interior plastics and FWD. Still miss the sound... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats the best E87 spoiler around I rekon, along with the factory aero option. Just the price is silly.. There are heaps of chinese carbon ones available on Aliexpress etc, mostly ripoff of the ACS version. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are heaps of chinese carbon ones available on Aliexpress etc, mostly ripoff of the ACS version. I struggle with all of the to be honest, especially the factory aero spoiler. The problem is they all look like an afterthought (probably because they were) and it's too obvious that they're just stuck on. They (BMW) should have done a better job with integrating the edges of their aero spoiler. The ACS style really only looks good from a few angles, and also looks like an afterthought. I'm wondering is this one, designed for the aero spoiler, might not fit on the standard tailgate. Yes it will still look stuck on (as it is) but it's much lower profile so might not look as obvious. Not sure I'm up for $200+shipping to be a guinea pig... ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt any of them do anything other than look okay or bad. I also suspect that rather than downforce they just add drag. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, agreed, but its all about the street cred... and no spoiler on the back just makes the end of an E87 look like the ass of a dog with a docked tail. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
