Hello Chaps,
Just wondering, how many RS4 owners are waiting/have ordered, the new M3?.I think most will at least have a good look at the BMW, but it will have to be a very good car to better the RS4.I personally think, that if the new M CDT works well in the car, it will hopefully feel like a mini M5.If its good enough to change the RS4 for, is another matter.Any thoughts?.Regards, SIMON. :)

I am waiting to drive it. If I don't like it, then I'd get a daily beater as my next car and a Lotus Exige or something.

having sat in one at MotorExpo a couple of weeks ago I must say I couldn't help thinking it looked a little chavvie. A bonnet bulge when there wasn't really a need for one and the mirrors and side vents just looked gratuitous.
that being said I would consider it. its a bit heavy though. more than the RS4

What's the spec? A V10 I assume? Are they going to do a 5-door version?

Reviews of the new M3 don't seem to be that fantastic - i have posted links in the B7 forum

It's still less heavy, the confusion is between US/Euro weights, fluids/driver etc.
