The GTI Mk7 was 180k, so I reckon the new Mk8 will be 185 to 190k based on current COE. 

The Mk8 has 242bhp vs the 261bhp of the 128ti.

With the badge prestige of BMW vs VW, I think the 128ti will have fanboys' demand at 215-220k. There is no reason why PML is not bringing in, maybe not yet?

Mk7 GTI listed 176. To 180 and depending on when you buy actual price range from 148k to 164 k.

else the Renault megane RS would be selling like hot cakes liao

fanboy should get a "almost new" M135i ... at least it's a YA///M .... lol

The same could be said of the Golf R and GTI, 330 vs 320, 530 vs 520, so on and so forth. There are people who prefer GTI over the R.

The Germans know what they are doing. They are the masters and have been doing that for decades in terms of pricing differentials.

B48 HP starts from 181 hp to 306hp.

The larger question is on which platform? The latest A250 is on a Renault Nissan collaboration 1.4 + battery platform 

the i3 and i8 is on a puny 1.5 3 cylinder + battery platform. 
 

so it depends on like what Kee Chui ask 

what’s the intend of the question?

Updated powertrains for BMW 1 Series with 116i and 120i for Nov 2020

Excerpt from the article

"Another novelty for the 1 Series range is the new 120i, powered by a modified version of a 2.0-liter B48 petrol engine, which is now rated at 131 kW / 178 PS (175 hp). The model gets the 7-speed, double-clutch Steptronic tranny as standard, which enables it perform the 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.0 seconds. The peak torque developed by the 120i reaches 280 Nm."

Seems like adding 2 segment to compete with Mercedes-Benz. Hopefully SG market will import this 😆

This could be on MQ35 A0 platform instead of the newer MQB AX platform which is the golf 8 chassis.

Yeah but same same configuration but handle very different

Looking to replace my Mazda 3 BP with the 116 sports. What should I look out for?

hahah im driving the 218, technically same platform. 116 abit not so powerful abit nua, i test drove!

If you're not used to the start-stop, it's quite rough when restarting cos the 116 and 218 both use a 1.5 3 cylinder engine

For a similar price range, maybe check out the new A3 sportback? (After discounts shld be around the same, I went Audi end apr before official launch they quoted me 137999)
