e90. you can always transplant a 335i engine or m3 engine in the future biggrin.gif . not to mention, more room to mod.. if you have the cash

its alot easier to mod a GTI then a e90 325i. Alot more parts/mods/specialists in pj/kl as well focusing on the gti

I respect your views but I think that's typical Ah Beng thinking that the only function of a RWD car is to drift.  wink.gif

It's not all about straight line speed. It's the drive that's important. I find it hard that a 50:50 weighted RWD car is so under appreciated.  sad.gif

i think alot of ppl just assume RWD>FWD, but a factor thats alot more important is weight, and power to weight ratio. just because a car is RWD doesnt magicly give it better handling then a FWD car thats 500kg lighter. A good example is a 325i vs a Swift Sport...i guarantee you, i will have more fun, and be faster at a gymkhana with the SS

as per what mavik said, im also a e9x owner, and i came from a Mk5 GTi. for the TS age, the GTI is a far better choice. Faster, cheaper to run, more fun, easier to mod

i have owned FWD/RWD/AWD over the last 15 years.... only a AWD can you really feel a diff in daily driving. Im pretty sure most RWD fanbois on this forum have never owned a RWD car...and probably would not be able to tell, if asked to do a blind testdrive
