You obviously know a lot about cars :lol: I can't think of any thing less exciting about that Merc that the auto box - really stirs the emotions!:lol:

RS4 for me!

I'd take the RS4... Just prefer Audi to the other two..

Then the Merc... Only the auto box puts me off... what an engine!

Then the M3... Is prob the best car but comes last in the one I'd choose (makes no sense!).

I honestly think the M3 is the best car but Clarkson had it spot on when they had the cockmeter up... fecking hilarious... but is the reason why I wouldn't take it.

Note that the majority on here are going for the RS4 - Those who know the virtues and all round everyday capability of 4WD:thumb:

Merc (nice car that it is) = traction control king.

BMW (high on the "cockometer") = iDrive,iDistracted then iCrash.

So most of us would go for the RS4, we are educated after all. however if you had to chose an M3, which year would you go for? Not a fan of the new looking front end, and think the 2005 looks the best.

I'd probably go for an E30 M3... but thats a totally different thread. :)

RS4 without a shadow of a doubt

RS4 RS4. No brainer

RS4

I like to feel planted to the road, hence why we drive Scoobies ;)

RS4:)

Id say the rs4 without a doubt....amazing!!:notworthy :notworthy

RS 4

and a few bob to put the engine in the front of my Scoob....

Got to be the RS4 :thumb:

I would say RS4 as well but the B5 not the B7...which might be because I've just collected my B5 RS4 :) 520BHP is such a laugh !

Come ON! The RS4 is capable of sending you into a coma just looking at it. It says a lot about a car when the estate version is better looking! ;)

I just think that while the RS4 is a technically brilliant car, I don't think it has much character - which *I* think is very important with performance cars; give me a supercharged VXR8 over an RS4 please, yeah it has its flaws, yeah its a GM.. but.. its stupid and irresponsible - which is what a performance car should be :D. If you want a fast saloon then fine, buy an RS4, but it doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid - somewhere since the old Quattro days Audi had their soul sucked out by some VAG corporate monster.

I was trying to be light hearted with my disagreement with just about everyone on the board with this topic. :)

In this price range? The new GTR, then the Merc, then the RS4 and lastly the M3.

The pedants will argue that as the GTR only comes as a 2 door coupe its not a fair comparison... but I'd have one over an RS4 as well when the sole point of it is to go quickly :)

There's no 4 door M3...yet. :p

new v8 m3 without a doubt!

I'd have the M3, no wait, i'm seeing what they do with the CSL. If it ticks the boxes i'm having one of them

BMW M3

merc for power
bm for speed

Yup, and then have a RS4 to tow the caravan :lol1:

c class is more like a 3 series, and a e class is more like a 5 series.



id have the rs4


m3's are usually associated with cocks....

mercedes of any sort are usually for old men, or people that have their own road rules


whats wrong with an rs4?
