I haven't seen any discussion about the revival of the ti badge. Before you get your hopes up it is not coming to the states, but it does seem like a serious GTI competition. ~250 Hp detuned B48 2.0L I4 Turbo FWD. The I3 versions (no ti badging) have a standard manual, but the 128ti has no manual options at the moment. Thoughts on the ti side skirt sticker and center console stitching? It slots in right under the M135i that has the same B48 with AWD.
