I agree!! I've driven the RS4 on track and road and it's and awesom machine, engaging in every way! And I was also lucky enough to drive the new M3 at our launch here in South Africa, and although a very nice car, great sound and all, but it just doesn't have the same appeal as the RS4. RS4 sounds better and inspires more confindence than any car i've ever driven and is a hell of a lot of fun when your pushing it to the limit ...

is this the unbiased version?
I know people driving them both and their opinion were different from yours, they prefer the M3. To each his own I guess.

I don't think you have to drive the M3 at it's limit in order to bring out the difference between it and the RS4. RWD and AWD cars are very different, even when driving like an average Joe trying to slide and play around a little you'll notice the difference. Not only that but also when you drive, they steer differently.

Re: French comparison: M3 V8 vs RS4

The test driver mentions briefly that the M3 had brakes problems?

Ι read that in another forum...

they probably meant they start to fade after some laps around the track. Its not a problem outside the track though.
