Aww, look at all the BMW fanboys getting all butt-hurt because someone actually said something bad about the M3.

Can it be? The RS4 is actually a better car than the M3?

This should be a sticky:

Rule number 1: You shall not say ANYTHING remotely bad about the M3 in any shape or form, we here at M3post worship the car and cannot tolerate anything negative directed toward the M3.

We do NOT take criticism of any kind as we are unable to process the thought that our M3 is not perfect.

Seriously, you guys need to wake up and realize that the M3 is not sent from Heaven. The world does not revolve around the M3. I'm willing to bet everyone on here subscribes to Car and driver.

HaHaHa RS4 better than the M3 that's a good one (if you love to understeer). Audi's quattro is not good (minus the R8's systems) it's all about safety first and are setup for rain and snow more than true performance!!! The only good all wheel drive systems out are in the GT-R, X6, R8, EVO X and the Gallardo. Audi's engines are way to far forward so the whole balance of the car is off, the steering feel is off, the throttle and brake feel is slightly off, the suspension setup is not even close to M quality, and any car derived from front wheel drive is a no go in my book!!! but coming from a guy that drives an SRT-4 I wouldn't expect you to know much about anything. Why r u on this forum again?????

RS4 better than the M3???.....hahahaha.

Two of my friends who had RS4's used to say the same thing.......they are now proud owners of the E92 M3.

[watrob]

One of these would suit me?

Now that is a nice R8 and it is rear wheel drive only.

Its just another car you can take to the track.

The M3 has been dethroned. And this is coming from someone who has a E46 and E93. Face it, the legend of the M3 is just history now. BMW has resorting to allow the ///M to stand for MARKETING instead of motorsport now


your thoughts?

the e92 M3 smokes the rs4 the e46 dont tho.. RS4 better than e92....ur crazyy

the more and more e92 shows up on the road the more and more e46 is seen as dated machinery

your thoughts?

My main thoughts are that you're disaffected cos you don't have an M3, even though you probably spunked the price of one on that 330i.

If the e92 does handle like the e36, that would be the perfect car, a bigger and more luxurious e36 with 420 hp has gotta be near perfect.
I suspect that the e36 will always be my favorite however.
