How often do you wax your knob?

If estates are your thing then that brings the good old m5 and rs6 into play

nah, waaay too expensive and too too large.  RS4 Avant is just about right for me, but too big for the missus, hence we're going for the Golf GTI

How appropriate, an M3 vs RS4 debate in a "knob" thread ;-)

there is no argument anyway, the m3 is the better car and is the benchmark in its class.  period.

<Yawn>  Dream on.  The ONLY place the M3 is better than the RS4 is on a track, and a bone dry track at that!

And the RS6 will literally muller the M5.  Its twin turbo 5 litre V10 is utterly awesome, and the RS6, even in Avant flavour, handles like a dream, considiering its weight.

The M3 is absolutely awesome to drive. The RS4 is the better all weather rocket. Both got fabulous normally aspirated engine! Simply the best £50000 pounds car out there if you exc. the lotus evora and cayman s!

The RS6 is a bit like those big AMG cars. Awesome in the straight but a bit slow-witted round the corner---you can never disguise weight with just bhp. I think BMW still produce the best car for the family man!

But the Evora and Cayman are not four door five seat saloons - so don't really enter this particular equation.

Have you ever driven the new RS6 in anger?  Because it categorically DOES handle in the twisties.  And you can get the back end out on the power, and control it too, unlike the BMW!

  Driving a RS6 in anger will definitely ensure a lengthy stay at Her Majesty pleasure!
 
No! Its my best mate who contemplate to change his M5 for the RS6. We were one of the first who went for a test drive. Amazed by the straightline speed and the midrange-torque is huge---we conclude this car is a estate car with a supercar engine. Strange to say the car got too much torque for everyday use not to get into any form of trouble with the authority. The steering is also slower than the M5 and the brakes were hard to modulate. I trust his opinion cause he races touringcar! The M5 is a lot more useable.
