One for Audilover
The new M3, well ish they are saying its a concept
Lets hope they keep the wheels, flair the arches a bit more and get rid of the mirrors. BMW are still keeping things close to their chest when it comes to the new M3 but i would probably say this is the final version minus the carbon roof and bonnet vents, What you are probably looking at though is next years CSL
They are either trying to double bluff or have something very different!!

I bet it wont keep those alloys, infact that front bumper looks less agressive than the non camouflaged pics ive seen.
I like this car, no doubt about it, and it will be awesome, but once my baby RS5 hits the street its game over yet again for the M. And this time it will be for good.
On an not so related subject, Porsche now have permission to takeover VW. This means Porsche can steal audi from VW like its been so numeroulsy rumoured making them the most powerful premium car company in the world.

i would of thought to pitch it against the RS4 it would have to be 420bhp minimum. M cars are alot more than just a 335i with a bit of aftermarket power, so i don't think BMW will be too bothered

Must admit, that i do like the pictures of the S5 (although it does look like a 3 coupe from the back) The thing that puts me off with the S5 / RS5 is the 4wd. I think it will be horse's for course's BMW may steal some Audi sales and vice versa but don't think it will make that much difference. Its either one or the other for most people!

Yes, but until now the M3 was always a hundred or so HP above any other 3 series and with them all being N/A there was little scope for tuning them to match the M3. If you wanted a fast 3 series you had to get the M3.
What's the price difference between a 335i M Sport and an M3? Tuners are already getting an easy 400BHP from the 335i as mentioned above, give it another year or so and that figure will be somewhat higher i'd imagine...

That bonnet bulge looks a bit crude, but the rest looks and sounds the business.
Audilover - what does your crystal ball tell you about the handling of the upcoming Audi RSs? By how much will it obliterate the beemer? stupid question really

Autocar are putting down a few claims, like having 414bhp the same as an RS4, i would of thought it would be a bit more! and september delivery. Again i think this will be very optimistic, maybe the press will get it by september but i think customers will be into the new year!
