Default My new ride..

As i had posted earlier i traded in my 01 S4...(the black one)
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/23268/test.jpg">

And got a 330ci....once again...not trying to be an A$$..but i feel the BMW handles better...yes i miss the MAD TORQUE...but i just feel the engine is more silky....and has many more options..
IMO the bimmer looks more agressive, but the audi has power....anyways..im happy with my choice....

Default S4 handling feels much more secure...

and less body roll. But I have coilovers. The bimmer does have more precise steering (Mine was '99 before they f%#$ed it up) and feels lighter on its feet, since it is.

Default Very nice chassis but way too heavy for the power and torque. I test drove one and most likely

it wasn't broken in properly because the engine sounded terrible and was quite rough when revved up. The clutch was also a little light. I like a heavy clutch because you can release quicker and still get it to engage smootly. It also didn't feel as confident as the S4 probably because of the Audi AWD. The 330's are only 150-200 lbs lighter anyway. That's not much lighter than the S4. Now if it was around 3100lbs, then it would be a good power to weight ratio. The tranny was pretty smooth though.

Strange the smooth inline six is my favorite part. Makes music when I rev it. =)
