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).

+1 although the Audi is a nicer place to be but the BMW DCT gearbox is better than the Audi DSG.

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

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.

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).

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

[lengster1]

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

[wellzieRS4]

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

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.

[DuncS3]

they just drove off with my RS - I actually felt sad especially when he was saying "you obviously looked after it"..

sniff sniff

[RS6chris!]

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??

[DuncS3]

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

..... they sound different but M3 sounds very nice - more tuned with a tinny sound vs RS4 is more fat boy V8......

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 !!

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

Might be tempted if they did a Touring
