I think both companies have better cars than each other but in different classes. Out of both ranges I would go with the Audi range more often. Although out of the RS4 or M5 I would have to do a lot of driving to choose(the RS4 does look slightly better though IMO).
Beepcake said:The RS4 is the M3 'class', it's the RS6 that's the direct competitor to the M5

Vertigo1 said:Forget the new M3 tbh, I'd take an RS4 over a new M5 and no I'm not joking. Who cares if the RS4 is "supposed" to compete with the M3, that doesn't mean it can't be a valid competitor for the M5.

[TW]Fox said:Although at the moment there is no RS6 and if you want to spend between over £45-50k on a 'big, fast 4 door' its RS4 or M5..
Beepcake said:Apart from the M5 is £64k basic? Which is kinda my point on the competitor level
[TW]Fox said:But the RS4 is £52k basic - whereas the M3 is £38k or so...
See, similar difference..
Vertigo1 said:FWIW I'd still have the RS4 if it was the same price as the M5
To contrast though, if we were talking used at the £30k mark then there's no Audi I'd have over an E39 M5.
[TW]Fox said:Yes it will, it will be a long, long time before Audi catches up. It always is. Same story.
BMW bring out M3. Beats everything.
Towards end of M3's life, Audi bring out S or RS4. Previously equalled old M3's, now it's finally managed it.
Oh look, here comes the new M3..
