Nice car, but starting at 26K for a new one is a tad steep.

Saw one for the first time last week in exactly the same colour - however this one had RS4 wheels which IMO transformed its looks, tbh i'm not so sure about the standard wheels though.

beautiful car though - you lucky swine

i should have worked harder at school

There isnt much choice in the options, RS4 are not an option but the Standard ones have grown on me now, just need to get it run in and see what it can do

Very nice indeed! Love the colour/interior combination.

Why wait for dry weather? It's 4wd!

300 would be good, but all my Tuning Budget has gone on the Type R which is now 400bhp, so 265 will be a nice easy car to live with

A mate recently got a silver one with all the toys - lovely car.
Understated, quick, well made.
My current hot hatch favourite.

I have a complete spare set of genuine RS4 wheels is you are interested - 3 still have legal contisport tyres

The Chief is right - does transform the look of the S3.

IIRC offset is wrong for an S3, you'll need the replicas.

It is a really nice car to drive and quite quick really. and so far the handling is very good, but not had chance to really try much yet.

You lucky b*stard!
I wanted one but the garages down here were all sold out of their quota for this year and next so I bought a mew BMW E90 320d M-Sport instead.
