Hmmm, RS4. They sound fantastic. Hadn't realised they were so 'affordable' now too. Only thing that puts me off a bit is the potential running costs. I've been offered a well spec'd brand new S4 (330bhp, part leather, B&O speakers, 19" wheels, etc) for £33K. Sensible, quick as the R, uber stealthy, but seems a bit bland. I still prefer the R.

I want to like BMW's, but I just can't.

YES YES YES YES YES YES ! Anyone that doesnt like these should be banned from the forum. Did an advance driving course on the Stow circut at Silverstone in one of these and they are just epic.

Only problem is I wouldn't fancy the running costs on them :(

Its fun owning a car that can keep up with one of these  :wink:.in a straight line sprint :embarassed:

Ill have the engine noise please, and you can keep the rest  :smiley:

You mean It's fun owning a modified car that can keep up with a standard rs4. The only thing you would take from an rs4 is the noise ?  :grin: you talk some amount of sh!te.

Z4M - looks nice but totally impractical

Scooby - hideous looks

RS4 - now you're talking!  but i'm not a fan of the saloon, i'd go for the Avant.  big hot hatch! 

335i - looks strangely boring, very 318i - coupe a better option, but then loses in practicality

Hah.  I'm just totally enchanted by my Golf GTi MkVI.  Thrilled to bits.  Couldn't be bettered.  Everything I want from a car.

I'll leave you guys to your fantasies.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

335i 2009 onwards 4 door m Sport in the met blue (nice car, a little more descrete than the M3, came down to one of them or the GTI (as needed 4 door for the little one). Amazing discounts on offer, noticed you can get a brand new 325i (the uprated 3.0 engine with 0-60 in 6.1) for about £25k, that's not far off the same price as a GTI 5 door and has cruse etc as standard.
Wonder if there's a new 3 series out next year?
