Scottish RS4's
RS4 Daytona Saloon
Hi , I just bought a 06 saloon Daytona, fully loaded, from Glasgow. drove it to London , where I live, It was the most amazing drive. Beautiful Scot Roads and sunny weather was great. So thats 1 less RS4 in Scotland
In Aberdeen en route home to Shetland at the weekend in my new Avus RS4 which I picked up in July. Covered 1500 miles in 4 weeks on the mainland including 2 weeks in Sutherland & Ross & Cromarty.


Photos not close up as the car was getting pretty grubby by the time I took these photos.
The RS4 follows BMW(E46) M3 (SMG) & M3 (E46 CS version) them BMW Z4M coupe. Early thoughts are that RS4 has awesome performance useable in a wider range of weather conditions than the BMWs. Not quite as entertaining as rear wheel drive.
Brakes are better, gearchange much better, Doesn't bunny hop (as all S54 engined cars I have driven seem to), inerior finish & materials better (particularly in comparison to Z4MC). Fuel consumption a bit worse.
Just got brochures in the psot for new M3 out of interest I specced up car to similar spec to mine & it would cost £6k more (I got a discount which I wouldn't expect on an M3 for a year or so.

Just found this thread
Bought my Misano red RS4 saloon in Aug, sounds great and goes like the brown stuff off of a tefflon shovle. If I go for a run its normally up to Breamar on the A93 or accross to Pitlochry great roads. Any one up for a coffee somewhere some time ?

Hi Boyers,
I did the swap last week, and i am really happy I did. My RS doesnt have a few of the goodys that the M3 had, but the engine and drive make up for it ten fold. Took the M3 to the Nurburgring last year and had sooooo much fun, and i cant wait to see how much better the RS is round there!!
Anyone taking there cars to the ring next year out of interest??
