I think the people who are accusing Chris of unjust bias towards BMW are missing the point of his criticism. He does acknowledge that it does everything a very fast Audi should do, and it does it very well indeed. But it is an RS Audi. The brand represents what Audi can achieve in a sports car, so it should be better in the corners and on the track. This is only going to be emphasised when it's compared to a BMW sub-brand which betters it.

As ugly as the BMW is you can't say a bad thing about the way it performs and sounds too. That Audi is shocking if you ask me other than the engine the whole car sounds crap and silly to drive on the edge but are you ever going to drive it like that on uk roads maybe not but still you think as an rs brand they would have sorted the handling out  :driver:

Can't justify the extra £1500 for the media, I'm happy with a car aslong as it has xenons, Bluetooth, and an iPod connector !
Quite fancied ticking the DAB option as well but it would take it over budget, if there were discounts though I'd probably go for the nav. Pointless anyways I'd be going used so I'd just need to deal with what ever the used car market throws up.
Saying that most of the things I look for in a car are there as standard I'd still be wanting the sun pack with uv windows, the pack with Pdc, 5 doors and foldy mirrors as a minimum

Yep the run flats are a free option on the configuration, I never seen an option to uncheck them so from that I gathered they are standard fitment.

Has the Beemer got that silly cabin speaker that "enhances" engine sound? Looks like all the major manufacturer are at it now.

No sound generator on the M135i, thankfully.

Easy 8-10% off with decent haggling, adding top Nav is essential, rest isn't really that important. Money saved pays for toys.

The Contis aren't a bad tyre either, usually a top 3 in the tests every year. Sure a PSS will help but you're just moving the point at which it understeers, rather that fixing a duff chassis.
