No offense to you or Audi, but you drive an M3 and come on this forum saying it's a band-aid between the RS models...OMG. Are you just trying to push some buttons?

He said that the M3 is his band-aid between RS models, not that it is a band-aid... or so I understood.

Dont forget he may have need of a Quattro for the winter and the RS being quattro plus good performance is a great car for him or anyone else who drives in snow.

(I spoke about numbers, so please do not say the "slower" R8 V8 feels better than M3, because I can also say the "slower" M3 feels better than RS5.) About M3, it everything but a drag monster, just like the 911 GT3 RS, 0-100 km/h in 4.0 sec, but N-Ring in 7:33 min, if not better. Those liking drag better get a 335i, TT-RS, 911 Turbo, GT-R or ZR1. |

as a boy/young man i dreamed of an m3, the e46 actually. when i had enough money to buy what i wanted, the audi seemed a perfect fit. now in-between cars i figured i would give the M3 a shot since it was BMW's answer to the RS4 high rev V8 whose engine was a masterpiece of engineering. the bimmer is good, i prefer the engine/transmission in the rs4, but the m3 handling is better. more legroom in the m3 surprisingly and almost the same trunk space. the m3 is a dude magnet(teenager/20 something guys), where the rs appeals to the more mature audience. thumbs down for the m3 here. probably should have kept the rs, but hey, why not have some fun if you can, it's only a couple years. i guess i'm only stirring up trouble on an m3 board with these statements but they are the truth and that is always trouble. |

^ +1.
I also chose the M3 to see how it compared and for the most part it was an exceptional machine, bar a few bad memories associated with the gearbox. I didn't feel the hype that so many feel the car deserves, it was a great car no doubt but no better in my eyes than the S5 before it or the XF and S4 that came after, maybe it just didn't suit me the same. Each to their own, some like BMW, others rate Merc and some just prefer Audi. All great brands that are catering for a different type of consumer. |

^ Nice video, I forgot about that one. The M3(non comp package) killed the GT-r and Turbo in the lane change.
The M3 did it in 75.1 mph, GT-R 72 Mph, Turbo 69.3 mph. |

Come'on now... forget about the R8. You got nothing to say about the RS5, now that we are finally seeing it in action? You must be so pissed at your 'sources' or at the very least, dissapointed with RS5's performance given your high excpectations not so long ago? Tis, tis....
