Well I will be giving my opinion on the new M3 on Wednesday so keep tuned.:thumb:

The dealer is convinced enough to put my name down for one next year (sometime) ;), he believes that this is the first M model which provides the kind of everyday enjoyment that Audi S cars are famous for while still giving the entertainment so familiar to anyone who owns an M3.

I don't doubt the entertainment side of things and the performance but I can't believe it will match the sheer confidence inspiring feel that a RS4 gives every time one takes to the road, or it's instant throttle response though top end zing is something I reckon the M3 will have over the mighty RS4.

I bet he's hoping for a dry day on Wednesday as anything other than that will leave me in no doubt where my loyalty lay.:hihi:

No but the dealer believes so.:hihi: And if you were given the keys to an M3 for most of the day would you make him think anything otherwise.;)

No my reasons are purely for the group, to give an objective opinion on what the new M3 is like, but if I did put a deposit down then guys this thing would indeed be the real deal, but I doubt anything would make me sway from the four rings. It would have to be right on so many fronts that you wouldn't believe.

1/ Looks (I like the 3series coupe though not a patch on the S5)
2/ Cabin Quality (previously a sore point for BMW)
3/ Smell (all previous BMW cars have made me feel sick, something to do with the glue or tanning process)
4/ Engine note (never like the old 6cyl unit)
5/ Grip/traction (especially in the damp)
6/ Steering wheel (something that Audi are the best it)

If the M3 failed at any of these they I wouldn't even consider it but might still think it's a great car.
