I do like my car

Its just that the mit5005 is a) located in sunny Florida and b) is 21 years old - a 2 door rwd sports car seems more appropriate to him.

When I bought my car 5 years back, I was living in California. I have taken my S4 to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite a couple times when it was snowing - an AWD made a lot of sense. Also I needed a 4 door as my parents/brother visit me on occasion - need the space to cart everyone around.

I am going to keep the S4 for a couple years more for sure.

^^gotcha. Thats pretty much the same reason I chose my Audi and I am considering a S4 Avant is that I go snowboarding as often as possible so I want the AWD and the four doors.

Hmm, tough choice between the Audi and the BMW. I'd personally prefer the Audi S4. If the M3 gives out bad vibes because of the bad reputation of a lot of its drivers, the S4 is a better option. I also think the S4 looks better as well.

You are rolling up to a stop light where on of the regular Yahoos are standing reving his M3, and when the light turns green you leave him for dead......now thats entertainment.....
I do that with riced-up Civics in my dad's Mazda 3 all the time.

Have you driven an S4 since you know its boring?

I have seen stock S4`s doing donuts on dry tarmac, sliding their asses in turns on dry tarmac...are the S4`s different in your country?

I have a awd car and I wouldnt say its boring in the dry...of course its like christmas for a kid when its snowy...(like it is outside right now, came home a couple of hours ago after palying a few hours after an 10 hour work day)....

yes a rwd car will shake the ass more easily but one can do it pretty easy in an S4 too, and doing donuts with an RWD car after you have done it in a AWD car seems just pathetic and slow....


nope I never drove any of AWD thats only what I think it would be... I havent driven M3 eather. Max I drove is 113ps in my beemer
Its only my thought that as all 4 wheels are under power than is much more stable than M3 so to have RWD is more fun, Plato and Tiff said same thing in latest M3 vs RS4 comparsion video from last year
Safe - Audi, fun - M3

I would go for a 4 door - Audi/Merc, and as i love to have power under my foot, i would go for the C32 because of its torque.

remember, big aluminun spoilers add like 30hp, decals are worth 5 a piece, wheels make your car do the 1/4 mile in 12 seconds

M3. Rear wheel drive (with the ability to turn off Computer aids 100%) and a true 6-speed manual with clutch.

Will definitely give you more "fun" than the other too cars in my opinion..
