At this time – Top Gear tries out BMW 130i versus Volkswagen Golf R32. After originally conceding that the BMW was more fun and seemed faster on a dry track, Clarkson was amazed to see that the R32 trounced the 130i with a lap time of 1:30.4 over the 130i’s 1:31.9. But it fell in line with his other heavy criticisms of the lack of practicality and the price of the BMW. Subscribe if you liked this video! (;
which is the song??
The Golf may not be a “svelte beauty” but its a damn sight better looking than that hideous looking BMW.
Both of these cars are shit cars..
Who the fuck wanna buy a BMW which is a that small?
When u hear BMW.. people always imagine BIG CARS with POWER.. Now the 1series got power big it’s small.. Imo bmw should never have built the 1series.. the 1series coupé looks good tho..
5:30+ Whats the song anyone ? (Cheers in advance!)
@IN35335 the front is ugly…BUT it does handle well…and if you chip it and tune it…this is a tuner’s car…it puts out SOOO much power easily… easily get 350rwhp and 400rwtq
I know there are the Camaros and 2011 Mustangs that have that power…but handling wise, BMW will out do them. Cars are finally getting a bit better…
Fuck BMWs.
The BMW looks so ugly.
@Zildjian285 Well, in Norway that’s just to forget. Even if one imported a used one for 15000£ one would end at at least 40000£ because of the Norwegian governments idea of car taxes…
There’s no doubt the R32 has an incredible amount of grip, but it’s probably not as fun.
£70,000?
You can get a decent one (2006/2007, low mileage w/ DSG gearbox) for less than £15,000.
Only thing putting me off is the £400+ a year road tax in the UK because it was made after 2005. What a stupid tax!
You’d think older cars should be more expensive to tax because they’re less efficient.
Why is the government increasing taxes on newer, efficient cars.
It looks simply a bit unbalanced to me. But R32 doesn’t convince me neither.
i’d rather buy a focus rs, or much cheaper golf GTI and eventually crank it up a little.
Aaah. The R32 is sweet. Just too bad it costs a fortune. 70 000£is too much.
It’s a messy lap because it’s RWD in the wet. This is where the R32
where you get bmw M1 pack
@offroad259
The new one is called the Golf R 267HP and 258ft of torque. same 2.0 litre engine as the Golf GTI but with a bigger turbo.
R32 have awsome stock sound, id go with the r32 any day, i wonder if there gunna make those new vw golfs a R32 version with a nice 3.6 liter V6 turbo :O that would be awsome
@sjs2011 the 130 is ugly as sin
Thats a messy lap with the 130i………. Redo it properly please..
jajaja como se rien del bmw
Thinking of buying one of these two…
Was originally set on the 130i.. now im not so sure.. the R32 is nice, but its just a bit racerboy-ish.
more research needed i think
R32 ALL DAY FOR PLAY!
because not everyone can afford an £800,000 car you twit…
golf is far nicer
how quick off the line does the golf look at 8:35 !
song is Azzido Da Bass – Dooms Night (timo maas remix)
