    You will not see a RS4 in the new A4 model for an 2~3 years yet. So if you are expecting to be first to have one think about placing an order some time Jan'09 or there abouts.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    I didn’t want to start a new thread for this but I found this top gear article on the C63 AMG & had to share this quote with you guys.

    “we shouldn't forget the Audi RS4, a car the AMG boys have studied closely and respect greatly. “

    It was taken from: http://www.topgear.com/drives/C7/K1/...sts/20/01.html


    Guys,I am looking at a little over $180.000 for the new M3.Don’t think I am prepared to pay that much for that repulsive thing. My mate who is a BMW salesman is forcing me to put down a deposit now, he’s convinced once I see & drive a demo in October I will be hooked.
    RS4 supplies are still really tight,I don’t know what to do.

    M3 owner,

    Personally your mate should/will return your deposit if you don't like the car at test drive stage, but if you do like it, go for it especially if it's near the first few in to the country because chances are you will be able to sale it come with little lose in a year or so if the RS5 is out around then.

    The M3 won't be a bad car and in your very dry climate the need for awd is a lot less than most of us.

    Or better still, if it has to be a Beemer, go for the 335i and chip it and add a LSD, a cheaper and much better option.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    450 at least our instructors told us at Barcelona circuit (R8 driving experience) one week ago.Also they will prepare a light version without electric windows,seats,thinner glasses etc =RS4 plus.
