I agree, fast Audi’s are muscle cars, not drivers cars. Each has their place, but m3/4 aren’t comparable to RS3’s.
Unless it’s a FL RS3 then for me it would be M3/M4 all day
Had no regrets going for the M4 mateUnless it’s a FL RS3 then for me it would be M3/M4 all day
I want CS’s genuine opinion on this, I’m on the lookout for a new car and recently put down a deposit on a RS3 (refundable). However, my budget is around £35,000 so I’ve been looking into other cars for the same price. What’s your thoughts on the M4? It’s the same price and weirdly enough it’s half to price to insure than the RS3. I’m thinking the RS3 is classier, and certainly rarer (I don’t think I’ve actually seen one to be honest), where as the BMW I’ve seen a few times. The BMW however could be a lot of fun, but then would I be “that” BMW wanker guy.
These are the main two examples –

Thoughts?
Rs3 all day long. I live in Northern Ireland and putting anything over 170hp down on anything other than 4wheel drive is impossible on our constantly wet roads.
On a side note I love the RS3 and the engine set up but the interior dash etc on the A3 is still an A3 which is pretty budget spec for a 40-50k car.
What’s the difference on the m cars? As I thought they looked very similar too.
Maybe we just view them differently, I prefer the M interior.What’s the difference on the m cars? As I thought they looked very similar too.
Car looks great, plates look proper s**t.
You can't even compare an Audi to a BMW M car.
RWD is for heroes, 4WD is for my nan.
Nice choice. I do miss mine sometimes but wouldn't have been practical with a baby. Almost bought a M3 the same colour at the start of the year but ended up with a delivery miles X3 instead.

How often does it actually look white?Yeah agreed mate, I went back to standard plates pretty quickly!

Love it mate. I'm thinking of getting the front splitter next and been weighing up the Lichfield map to 515bhp
Id first try on here and also somewhere like www.bimmerforums.co.uk - www.bimmerownersclub.com - https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=648So after 4 awesome years I'm now selling this 🙂 Where's the best place to sell these days? PH or AT?
How much cheaper? Miles?Brilliant thanks mate. I'll try some of the forums before going to PH I'm selling it for much cheaper than all the others I've seen
How much cheaper? Miles?
Swiftly finds the spec and counts his pennies! 😉😉Similar mileage and specs go for around £25-28k. I'd be happy to get around £24k'ish
I can trade in for £22.5k so I might just do that for the hassle tbh
You definitely made the right choice having the M4 over any Audi imo. It looks a very nice example you have there. Glwts
I’ve had an e92. Test drove the M4 in depth. Then had w204 and w205 C63’s and I preferred them both. I think the C63 has been the better car since 07. Definitely for road. For finite handling I can see where people might pick the e92 but not the f80, I did not like it no where near as much as a w205 C63. The C63 was noticeably a better car then imo. The M3 and M4 cars are still absolutely epic and they aren’t worlds apart, it is just what power delivery and drive you prefer I suppose. The beemer has always looked sexier and meaner and yours is 👌
Anyway, what you chopping her in for?
