Just when i dont think they can make a car any better looking they always pull something out of the bag.
Its going to woop the RS4 for sure....And are they a csl wheel they have used

bring on the road test comparison

4x4 and, lets be honest, amazing looks VS outstanding new looks but bigger price tag?

Heathen. It’s an Avant.



I think you'll find it just depends on what video you watch:

[ben_p]

they both sound insane and go like larda's on coke

 

[S22 JGS]

looks nothing special imo.

would much rather have the audi

 

[Ad]

would be a really tough call between the M3 and RS4, tbh the RS4 would edge it for.. they are always going to be a little rarer than the M3.

I'd make car love to that!

 

[howie p]

sounds amazing

Ones old RS4 prob tuned to fcuk.... Others a standard M3! Saying the new M3 will have similar power to weight as the old CSL, meaning it'll have more than the RS4 Both lush cars though but i'd take the 'M'

 

[Ian_182]

If the bmw has rwd and they have similar output then surely the m3 will be the faster car

Are we going to get into an arguement about only driving fast in straight lines?

 

[vavazoom]

sore it on the front cover when i opend my evo yesterday! yet to read the artical yet tho!

 

[JoelDee]

Stunning

 

[joel_b]

Spunking!

 

[BenR]

no, but if we deviate then we'll all have to accept that the audi will fall flat on its face for on the limit dynamics.

 

[jongsr4]

4wd will never handle as well as rwd, even if it is 60/40 split

 

[Andy]

It's actually a 40-60 split on the RS4. I'd love to see an M3 keep up with an RS4 over different road/weather conditions.

 

[Craig]

ive said it once and ill say it again i would still buy the rs4 it looks 10x better imo and will be rarer

 

[BenR]

i'd like to see an RS4 keep up with a tractor in a plouged field.

might be going slower on an uber bumpy soaking wet B road.......but hell i'd be giggling in the m3.

Put the crack pipe down. What relevance does a ploughed field have to road conditons?

Reference "uber bumpy soaking wet B road," I think you'll find an RS would rape an M3 in most conditions. The M3 CLS is stripped out. Isn't the boot floor made of cardboard or similar? At the end of the day if you want out and out performance an M3 is no the way to go. If you want a bit of both the RS4 is your choice.

 

[BenR]

I dont like the CSL.......but the new M3 is nice.

I'm just saying i like it more than the horribly undynamic RS4.

M3 will be more of a drivers car, nothing wrong with facing facts.

As ze Gormenz would say, "Ja ja."

 

[Steviant]

Looks awesome. Even the mule looked good with the bonnet bulge.

Shot these at the Ring last October.

 

[Pep]

to be honest, i would love the beemer, but the audi just seems rarer, and i love a4's!

doesnt overly bother me......audis are known to be boring.

 

[philmots]

The new M3 will hammer the RS4 in everyway apart from maybe a wet 'B' road? Seem to remember an article in Autocar yonks ago of the E46 M3 vs the S4 with 344 brake on a wet road, they did timed runs and the M3 was a fair bit quicker!

I do love the RS4's though dont get me wrong!!! My mates boss has one, he's 26 we all went out and it was mighty impressive! I've got a pic here

An RS4 will not rape an M3 in any conditions.The 5th gear test showed that,There was not a great deal in it with the audi edging ahead.
Now imagine that car lighter and with say another 70bhp.
I think you know what im saying andya4
