B5 RS4 vs E46 M3 vs B7 RS4 vs E92 M3 (long so sit down a prepare for my bad spelling)

true, I'm not advanced enough to know what the s4 will do if I push it.:)
All I'm saying is the rwd bmw will let you know when the rear end is coming out in a corner. All you have to do is let off the gas slightly to get it back in line. The S4 will hold as I go faster and faster around the turn.. but I'm always afraid to push it too far and end up in the guard rail.

Well my S4 has the Stasis center diff
I also had a Porsche 944 which was then considered the best handling car in the world per C&D comparo. The rwd cars will if pushed swap ends on you, including my sport suspension'd 944. I feel my S4 has now neutral steering with the Stasis=the push is gone but the tendency to swap ends is much more predictable/saveable than my 944 or Z/28's. Yes the steering isn't as light/quick but to me anyway it prevents me from oversteer that much more. I just can't see a 135 walking away from my modded S4 on most tracks, it's just a different way of handling as shown for example on Top Gear when they did an M3/S4 comparo. And yes I have exceeded traction limits in hard corners and it simply gave me a gradual breakaway.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uGp8rC5Hd0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uGp8rC5Hd0</a</li></ul>

oh yea, their 4:1 center diff might make the difference.:)
I haven't experienced one but I'm sure it helps. My 135i is a fun daily driver (with dinan software) but my S4 has much more potential.

Nice, B5 RS4 has always been my dream car too and I think I'll own one before I die as well...
And if my buddy doesn't sell his 08' white M3 just like yours before I'm done with my work I'll have a video of an RS6 turbo'd S4 vs. the M3. Hopefully!
