Default Saw another RS4, what is going on?? I've gotta get one of those

The car looks so amazing, I want to drive one. I think I'm gonna follow the next one I see until they stop and ask for a ride, what do you think?

Default That's the one thing... if this is $66-70

and it is to compete with theoretically the M3, then does that mean the M3 (est 400+hp) will cost about $66? Does anyone remember $45-50k M and S cars? (notice I switch the M and the S to avoid the "What's an S&M car?" responses). These cars are getting into the carrera c6 vette category, which in my opinion is way off target, what is the new RS6/ M5 going to have 800whp next? These prices are getting out of control.

just a minor rant...

I keep saying it and I just might do it. The 300hp 335i will be very fun with a chip at 42 grand.

2nd, but going quattro-less is THE biggest reason I most likely would not.

True. I'll just get 325 wide R-compounds to make up for not being able to drive a RWD anymore

I'm most likely going to be in that same boat, if not living in NYC and have no car.

Default Chip in the 335 will be questionable... motor may not take much more.

Have you seen indications to the contrary. I know I am just speculating.

I do agree that the 3.0 Turbo BMW cars will be interesting!

Default It's a good question, but from their history...

I've never seen internals to be their weak point. For example, superchargers add well over 150hp to their v8 540i and all their little 3 series cars not to mention the M3. Like, porsche and audi they seem to make them to last. I chipped, intaked, and exhausted a 525 with 140,000 miles on it and drove the crap out of it when I sold it with 180,000 miles. I think they are even using magnesium now. Will be cool to see. If anyone knows it's Dinan and i'll trust them expecially since they'll warranty it. cheers! mike
