Couldn't agree more. They should bring over the M5 Touring instead.

The S3 does look nice, but I would definitely pick a twin turbo 1 series over the Audi.. Come on, RWD and 300hp in a tiny hatch? Too bad BMW has to charge an arm and a leg for their cars.

GTi ?! What GTi ?? There isn't any GTi to compete with this....

I heard about this before. The 130i was suppose to be the most powerful 1 series but now they're planning to introduce the 335i engine on it. It's basically the same size.

Meh, that's what you get from a crappy anonymous news site. I think they must have meant the VW Golf R36.

wonder if the new RS3 will have the same 5cylinder 350hp engine as the next powerful TT.

^ I strongly doubt that they´ll build an RS3... :roll: But the 135i was only a question of time...

the 1-series is still the most-dull looking Bangle'd BMW but at least it gets a good engine this time. don't they also have plans of putting that twin turbo engine on the 5-series...
