With the X6M being over $100K and the F10 M5 probably getting around the same power, its probably going to be over $100K as well. If not VERY close.

I get what you're saying, but I still think your argument is a bit flawed. For a new car @ $50K there isn't a car out there that can touch a 335, in terms of performance, platform, and tuning potential. The N54 is that good. As htoudiee said, with $2-3K you're into the sub 11's (Z06/Viper territory). You simply CANNOT do this with a Geo, Civic, etc... without spending over double, possibly triple what the car's worth period. The fact that with a few K a "3 series" BMW can keep up with cars like the RS5, Z06, etc....I think pretty much says it all. Sure the RS5 comes stock with it's specs....but at how much more of a premium? $30K+? I'll take the $50K 335 + $3K in mods anyday, but that's me.

All I'm saying is I hate when people are comparing, lets say a Ferrari and a 335i. Someone will say, Put a JB3 on it and nitrous and It will take that Ferrari! Well no shit, you can make any car faster then another..Thats all.

I was just saying BMW and Audi are pretty close in terms of class, Honda's not even in the same league. Just because you drive an RS5...and a "3 series" can take you, it doesn't make a modded 335 a civic ![]()

If I can get it for $44.5K out the door like I did my 335i, I'm interested. If it's $70k+ stripped, not really. For me, you have to compare cars that are in relatively the same ballpark price wise. RS5 doesn't seem to compete with a 335i.
Other than that, the M3 will be sick. Wait. Watch. Last edited by BayMoWe335; 02-20-2010 at 08:52 PM. |

I have been waiting for this car.
I am Canadian and I have had the choice between a fully loaded M3 or chancing the hopes of an RS5 for nearly 2 years now. I'm glad I waited. This car is perfect for Canadians who want great performance year round. The M3 would have been the option if this wasn't coming out, 2 years of waiting... So happy. |

I just want those seats
![]() The RS5 really will not be comparable to the 335i. M3/M6 is more like the target car. If Audi manages to keep the weight down (unlikely) they might have a GT-R challenger. Crap, if the RS5 is a twin turbo V8 just imagine the tuning potential....

I'll be happy if it puts down M3 numbers. Just a really nice car.
I don't like the GTR much, regardless of its price. I think the cheap-ass transmission in it really ruined it. A 6 speed gearbox for a 500 HP car is unacceptable. Those things are fragile as hell. Great car for the price, but they had to cut corners somewhere. Hopefully it's about ~100K CAD. That's the upper ceiling for how much it's worth. The M3 atm is 88, and Audi should have learned their lesson about pricing cars 20k over competitors (The RS4 was 105k here for a bit, not fully loaded) when our dollar is about-even. |
