Of possible interest, took some E46 "Spy" pics today....
I actually ran into the same car (I'm almost positive) that I did a few weeks back and <a href="https://www.audiworld.com/forum/m/s4/msgs/89564.phtml">posted</a> about. Today I just happened upon it parked on a public street in Santa Barbara, Ca. I actually had a camera this time, and got a number of shots, here are the best. This appears to be a prototype test mule (had a code #45 on the front windsheild), since the gills are covered (actually there was nothing behind, I touched to check), its not badged, and oddly has the old style sport steering wheel and cloth(!) seats. It's a lot more brash about its purpose (kinda like an RS4) than an S4. Your opinions may vary, but I think its a pretty sweet ride, and that any German car enthusiast should appreciate it.

What were the tire sizes on it? I love that front. Makes me wish I had the RS4 one.

They look like 18's. My guess is 235.
But then again who knows.....
Oh btw leslie i just may have to copy you and go with the silver caliper paint...i really like the way they look!! I was going to go with yellow...but that would throw off the whole color scheme of the car.....and jessica would call me a biter.....and all the imola folks would accuse me of envy. =D<p>Cheng.Kwan
