Someone tell me what it is, pleeeeaaaaassssseeee. We may have found who stole Audi's RS styling :P
Funny you should say that , the guys from BMW went Audi, and the guys from Audi eventually ended up at BMW

Given the choice, B7 RS4 or the car in the picture, I could live without quattro....

Don't BMW do a 4WD version of the 3 series for the US market?
RS6 (MRC'd with econodrive) is not just for Xmas
Toyota Aygo Platinum for minimising carbon footprint.

Sorry mate, it's a photoshop...it was on bm3w a while back - I agree though, it looks awesome.

The new M3 doesn't look half as exciting I'm afraid from the spy pics I've seen.... Now if it looked like that, and had a CSL version, my wallet would be in serious trouble...

And it depends on how much fun you want...

I'm starting to enjoy sliding the CSL around a bit now I've got more confident...you don't have to be going silly speeds to have a laugh...

they must have the capability with the X3/5 range plus there is a 3 series 4WD wagon available in Germany cant remeber the model tho but pretty rare. A good import if interested.
Practise safe sex & drive a hybrid if you can...
