Newbie - Just tested RS4 and new M3..

Here you go; (not sure how this will go down in an Audi forum - but I'm sure we all appreciate nice cars??)

Eugh an Alpina!!!!!

[P_G]

Nah, just had Alpina wheels; was a 335d Touring IIRC

[psg001]

that first one on pistonheads is tempting, close to 2nd service mileage but good value for a 2007 car.

Correct, and quite fast for an oil burner, just boring as hell!

I appreciate nice cars, that's a turd.

Don't knock it, a DMS'ed 335d would give you more than a run for your money in an RS4 with 560+ ft.lbs of torque and 260+ bhp

as long as it was bone dry on the roads

Keep your hair on - didn't you see the humerous booted emoticon?
Here it is again

[P_G]

Don't worry, a good head of hair left on and saw the emoticons, just I believe plenty of people seriously underate the 335d in the wet or dry.

My wife has a an X3 with the 335d engine and DMS map and I have raced a mate up and down the link in a B6 S4. nothing in it if anything the beemer is quicker to 60 but up to 110 nothing in it at all. so a 335d coupe with the DMS would defiantly be a lot of fun although I fancy my chances in my RS4 against it.

It was just so boring!!! Point and squirt, and that was about it.

I remember being 5 up on the way to Bournmouth, and hanging off a 997 S's bumper, such was the amount of torque available, all the time (it was on a straightish dual carriageway) - Mine was approx 520ft lb's, and 350BHP!!!
