Yep, those conversions don't interest me in the slightest. Much the same as I'd take a GT3 over a Turbo any day of the week.

I think on some ways you're right:
The RS4 is superb in the slower stuff but its weight and trans loss hurt it elsewhere.
The M3 has such a good chassis, you lose the sensation of speed in it a bit.
The C63 is a bit on the edge of lunacy, so the noise and willingness to light its back end up add to the occasion.

so if you were going to get a performance estate which would you go for out of these three - rs4 avant, 335i touring or s4 3.0v6 avant?

I'd probably scratch that RS4 itch. But shop very carefully.

n

right, so one that has no issues with the DSC, is not coked up, does not need a new clutch, brakes or tyres and a full service history - anything else  :rolleye:

How much is a de-coke about £400, every 50k miles, not something to put you off the RS4 imho.

thats if it need doing that often, surely our Gti engines would need it also wouldn't they? I suppose you just srick a bore scope down to see the extent of any carbon build up and then go from there?

For the initial money (high specification), performance and running costs, I really cannot say anything bad about my 335i................

My ED30 was tremendous value at £12500 bought 3 years ago, but I wouldnt by a newer MK6 ED35 or R over the beemer. In day to day driving the torque more than makes up for the 100 less horses the M3 offers also and then there is always a remap if you want it....

^^^^ As much as I agree with what you're saying about the 335i, its a stunning car for the money, it is neither an M car or RS.  They will ultimately feel that more special.

(Nice looking 335i by the way :happy2:)
