RS4 (B7 Platform) Discussion Discussion forum for the B7 Audi RS4

Is anyone even remotely entertaining the idea of trading their RS4's in about a year for the new M3?

I might. I love my RS4 now but I acknowledge the fact that I have a sickness when it comes to tiring of cars relatively quickly and wanting something fresh and new in the near future just because. This is despite the fact that I think the M3 Concept's styling is somewhat over the top and a little ugly in certain details, but then again, I also thought the E60 M5 was kinda ugly and look what's parked next to the Audi. I'm not saying the new M3 is the only alternative but next to some other options, it's definitely in the crosshairs since BMW typically doesn't disappoint except maybe in the styling department.

Consider this a poll. Anyone else?

Default It will happen

I predicted before the RS4 was even released that when the new M3 hits the show room, SOME will trade in their Rs4s for the M3. there will always be people that have to have the latest, fasted and hottest. Plus many that can afford the Rs4 will financially be able to absorb the financial hit.

why not trade in either the RS4 or M5 for a Porsche or R8? You don't need two sedans.

Default If I trade it will be for a 911 GT3 or Turbo. Just won't ever own another BMW as long as I live. I

plan on keeping my RS4 for a while though.

Default I'm trading the M5 for an ML63 and will probably eventually get a dedicated track car...

considering a GT3, Exige S, or Noble. Many scenarios.... if I get the M3, though likely heavy, it could very well serve as a track car (I'm assuming at least better than the RS4 ever would) and a fair weather daily, and if that's the case, an R8 might be tempting. I hated the R8 but warmed up to it when I saw it in person at the autoshow. I'd hold out for a V10 version though as it would hardly see the track except on special occasion.

You might scoff at the idea of an ML63 but I actually need such a vehicle for it's utility and cargo space, and as a future tow vehicle for a track car.

Default remotely....

...as in a galaxy billions of light years away, inaccessible even via light speed travel.
