Hi, I am new to this forum.

I am considering one of the bigger engined B8 A4s or facelifted E90s for my next car, which I am expecting to order around the end of 2008.

I am not sure that I follow what the Autocar journalist is saying about the "chunky" ride quality of the S-line B8 A4. Isn't the car featured in the article the 3.2 SE version of the B8 A4? If so, how does he know what the S-line ride feels like? Also, he hasn't mentioned whether the car was fitted with the optional Electronic Damper Control which I would consider necessary with those 19 inch "RS4" rims.

Does anyone here know the expected launch dates of the following models:
1) Audi B8 A4 3.2T (seen it mentioned here)
2) Audi B8 S4
3) Audi B8 RS4
4) BMW E90 M3
5) Facelifted E90 335i

Also, any info on the launch dates of the DSG / DCT 'boxes would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
