Re: Moving on...
+1 although the Audi is a nicer place to be but the BMW DCT gearbox is better than the Audi DSG.DuncS3 wrote:I would say, if they were both brand new - just be a choice based on 4wd vs RWD or coupe vs saloon (or BMW vs Audi loyalties).

Re: Moving on...
Thanks,let's looky see and put pen to paper,are you allowed private plates on lease vehicles? What about insurance I have a fully comp traders policy at the moment
Re: Moving on...
Looks great on the outside, but am not a fan of the interior, esp the dash. I was having a mooch on a bmw forum a few years back and they was all slagging the B7 interior for being bland, so horses for courses I guess.

Re: Moving on...
I think so re private plates - I certainly know someone with private plates on a lease car. I was just told to insure it and provide a certificate proving cover - no particular do's or dont's. (I also took out gap isnurance but wasn't required to do so).lengster1 wrote:Thanks,let's looky see and put pen to paper,are you allowed private plates on lease vehicles?

Re: Moving on...
I'm also toying with this i could do with freeing up money in my rs, i could be tempted, i'm paying £400 a month for my rs with 2 years left
Re: Moving on...
Don't go on the website then wellzie I'm very tempted with a bog standard a4 tdi for what there available at,my driving time is split between an 03 tdi sport work hack and the rs4 every other weekend,I could bail em both n bang nearly 30k back in my quickly emptying bank account since the build started,hmmmm I just dunno I've always seen the Rs as a keeper hence the tuning investment etc hmmmm ..................dunno dunno

Re: Moving on...
same as the thing is will own the rs at the end and i just brought some rs5 wheels, i love my rs with the spec its got, plus ive just got the missus a new diesel c max on lease
Re: Moving on...
great looking car. I love the hood bump. Would be great to have a little bump like that to help house a TVS1900 or something on an RS4. I guess hood development is prohibitively expensive though.
Re: Moving on...
they just drove off with my RS - I actually felt sad
especially when he was saying "you obviously looked after it"..

Re: Moving on...
In real world driving which car feels quicker?
Or about the same?...doesnt the M3 have less torque??
I think the M3 V8 doesnt sound anywhere near as good as the RS??

Re: Moving on...
benefit of them both next to each other, they sound different but M3 sounds very nice - more tuned with a tinny sound vs RS4 is more fat boy V8
They are both great cars - you couldnt say one was better than the other as its wat suits you at the time but the RS is defintiely easier to drive with the AWD

Re: Moving on...
I use to not really like the 'metallic' sound of the E46 and the V8 doesn't sound much different I think - or how I would expect it to sound put it that way. I had a go in an E90 over the summer and seem to recall the sound track not being that pleasing, like you say still very tinny !!DuncS3 wrote:..... they sound different but M3 sounds very nice - more tuned with a tinny sound vs RS4 is more fat boy V8......
But I'm just jealous and bitter so dont listen to me ....... lovely car

Dont know why but I have a massive soft spot for 4 door M3's ...... rarity perhaps - E90 in that sky blue colour
