E92 M3 V RS4
 

Hi guys,

Im a current e46 m3 owner, i love it, but while waiting(probely 10 months more) for the new m3 i was silly enough to test drive an RS4 and love it , especially in the dream colour of sprint blue, damn what a colour, so buy rs4 now r wait for m3, im asking for your views, fire away please. they r so expensive here in Australia @ 180k new, but i saw a second hand one with only 6000 klms on it and it was already 155k 25k down in 6000klms??????? thats scary, but that steering wheel , i dream of it , its a work of art....sigh


regards

syko

I would say get whatever floats your boat mate! I don't know much about the new M3 but I'm sure it will be a monster and likely more raw and ragged then an RS4 - but don't know really. RS4 with AWD is an all weather car if that is an issue...but I would suspect the charcter of the two cars to be much different but with performance and fun factor in a similar ballpark. Do you just got to have it now? Then get the RS4. If your current M3 is still giving you thrills (and not broke down by the side of the road) then maybe you can wait...and if you can wait then maybe doing so and doing some comparo drives 9if that will be possible) might be the way to go. Both are a lot of $$$ to drop (in either Aussie $$$ or American...) so you should really check them out and make the best decison for YOU...but I doubt you could go wrong with either....(helpful?)

I own Z4 M roadster with the same engine&tranny from E46 M3. I was lucky enough to test drive a brand new RS4 past weekend. I would say they are totally different cars. It is like two health strong kids; one goes to Catholic school and trained with the best manners in the world, the other goes to American public school and learns all the evil things. Audi RS4 has great manners, it is highly educated and more grown up type. It is sort of like luxury sport sedan (the more relaxed type for older ppl). all the Ms I have driven are "RAW", do not have manners but very fun to drive. it would slap you if you push it too hard with DSC off. But personally, I would prefer M3 over RS4 cuz I am young =) and I love to have fun so a "RAW" machine is best for me.

There is a very interesting comparo between current M3 and RS4 and some speculation about new/upcomming M3 in the new Roundel mag. All of the BMW (current M3) drivers were very impressed wit the RS4 and agreed that it kicked butt on the track and was more powerful - throughout rev band) then current M3 and that it handled great and was lots of fun. New M3 to have 420hp? and lighter then RS4 (by perhaps as much as 400-500lbs...maybe)...so will in all likelyhood be quite a bit quicker. Still AWD launch ability - perhaps higher torque? don't know - of RS4 etc - will keep it somewhat close. Again RS4 w/AWD is all weather performer. I know that in the rain/snow there is no question - in my S4 I rule! And when I drive my Bimmer in rain (never in snow) I have to be careful (as i actually slip and have to back off) - in the S4 I just gooooooo...!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, its hard, bimmer still 10-12 months away from australia, my current m3 only has 25,oooklms on it , but now ive sat in the rs4 i just love it cos its new but huge price$180,000 here in sydney, but audi sydney had a client who just traded an 06 RS4 sedan on an RS4 cab , it only has 6000klm on it and now they only wont 155,000 big drop for 5 months, now im wondering if its done its first big drop for a while, i could pick it up now then move it on if i wont bimmer? but not if i can only get 100k for it in 12 months? u guys thinks theres another drop in it?

RE: E92 M3 V RS4
 

Yep. I agree with what everyone has said. Test drive both, find out what you want and get it. Both great cars, but I personally would go with the M3.

Congrats!!!
I'm sure you won't be disappointed with your decision!! For it's class, the RS4 is unmatched in my opinion. It's the perfect balance of performance and luxury.

It's one hell of a ride and you only notice the extra doors when you need them. Post some pics of the car and interior when you can..
