kenny Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 i spanked them both... but no, my body style came out in 1996, obviously outdated. Not to mention the M3 is a 2 door sports car where mine is a 4 door grocery getter. I haven't ever driven an A4, but I've ridden in enough to know they're nothing special. As for the turbo on the M3... I'll pass. 6765 on a LC2 will cover that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Nor do I care too. Heard too many horror stories about S4s... I know I know, I would not recommend B5 S4 as a daily either..but... Don't right off a new 2.0T. Suspension is fantastic Cheap Power Honda-Esque fuel economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 As much as I love my Audi...If I were considering a B5 S4 vs. an E36 M3 I'd pick the M3 every time. About 5 years ago my best friend had a '99 M3 that was totally stock..his girlfriend had a totally stock '01 S4. I extensively drove both cars and I'd choose the M3 over the S4 all day long. Not taking anything away from the Audi, stock for stock performance of the two is basically the same but with software and exhaust the S4 will make the M3 look positively slow. However at this age the possibility of maintenance nightmares are much higher with the Audi than the M3 despite the M3 being older. That and everything else about the M3 just spoke to me on another level. If you are looking for something along those lines you owe it to yourself to find a B5 S4 to drive. They're outstanding cars in their own right, there's alot of merit in having something AWD here in Ohio to daily in the winter, etc. Everyone's opinions of the two cars may be different but I just "feel" the M3 more than I did the S4. As previously noted...if you get the M3 you NEED winter tires for it. There's no option there it's a requirement unless you want something that's useless on bad winter days. B6 S4's are reasonable money too and are less prone to issues than the B5 cars. They're a little more money than an E36 M3 but less than an E46 M3.

kenny Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I like the AWD of the Audi and that's about where the list of things I like about them end. 1G POS spoiled the hell out of me... I'll miss the 4x4 of my truck, too. Ohwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M5 would embarrass you in every way. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Nobody will ever deny the fact that you can "feel" more with the M3. Anytime you start sending power over the front wheels it is going to corrupt the feedback. I'm a fan of all things german. If I lived in SoCal I'd probably have an E55 AMG sitting along side the S8. M3's are amazing cars that are pretty darn reliable given they (like any S*) was likely beaten on most of their lives. Like andy said, you can't lose in either car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to ask the then owner of the car I dont buy it. I schooled a flashed 200X s4 on the freeway in my non M5 e39 from a roll. From a dig it may be a different story but judging from my personal experience I dont think an M5 would have any trouble with a flashed s4. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
