Default 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.

Default 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&amp;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>

Default 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.

Default 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!
