Default rumor vs. fact 2001 S4

Can anyone clear up the rumors versus facts or educated expectations on the 2001 S4? I've heard everything from some significant power increases and some body style changes a la the new A4 to just a few new colors and ESP. Is it pure speculation at this point?

I was seriously considering a 330Ci (avail in a couple of months)or waiting for the new M3, but the S4 is a truely remarkable combination of power, subtle style, and terrific interior. I sat in the 328Ci and then went straight over to the Audi dealer and sat in the S4 for 10 or 15 minutes (yes I drove it earlier). The S4 feels terrific inside. I currently have a 99 MB CLK. Nice car, but much more on the sophisticated clean touring side. My soul calls out for an S4. Besides the demand is still so strong for my CLK that I can sell it now for practically the original MSRP.

Sorry to ramble, but I've been lurking for some time and this is my first post. I am leaning strongly towards buying a 2001 S4. The M3 is tempting, but I suspect it will be comfortably over $50K. That doesn't feel right for this kind of car.

The 328 series is being updated to 330 for 2001. The CI is a coupe
