Heres the deal I've been looking at getting a new car in the near future. I wanted to see what ya'll thought. I'm debating between the new upcoming RS4, the current M3 with competition package, or the new M3 e90 due out next couple years, or just upgrade my current 2001 S4. I've talked to the dealerships researched online and now here to see what ya'll think.

Heres my thoughts on them.

The new RS4 going to be costing around 70K. Performance wise Audi has out done themselves with this new V8 quattro monster. Seen specs from 0-60 from 4.5 to 4.7 at 418 hp. The interior is stellar. Only thing would be gettin use to the front end, but other than that it looks sweet especially the black exterior color in my opinion.

The current M3 is one of the sexiest cars in my opinion costing about 58K-65K loaded. 0-60 in 4.7 and 0-100 in 11.6 and is one heck of a car. Would of gotton this baby back when I got my current S4 but was out of my price range, but still love it.

The new M3 suppose to be due in the States maybe mid 2007. As for price due to the amount of fast cars coming out to be able to stay competitve bmw claims price won't go up too much. I think due to the V8 and other factors it will cost my guess will be 75K to 85k as for the csl who knows. There hasn't been any definate real pictures out sayin this is what it will look like. But from what I've seen I've been a little skeptical. As far as specs seen from 400-420 hp and the csl version that is said to come to the states will be +20-50 hp on top of the stock model. As far as 0-60 and 0-100 times seen anywhere from 4.0 to 4.6 sec but no 0-100 times.

As for my car don't get me wrong I love it but just seeing all these other cars out there and having the money, makes me want something better. As for it i've got 57K miles and haven't done anything to it except for an oem RS4 front bumper. I wouldn't mind chipping it and some other things saving alot of money.

Anyways let me know what ya'll think and I know we've got some biased people on here, but think I'd get some better responses here than from a bimmer forum.
thanks
