Default BMW M3 / Audi RS4??

Hi All,

Even though I've had my 07 STi for a short time, I'm always thinking of the next car when it comes time to trade.

Now I've always had Rex's and HSV's as my rides, but I'm now at a stage in my life where I can afford to look at some 'upmarket' cars.

Remembering that I wont be trading for a 2 yrs or so, but when I do I am thinking of looking at an M3 or RS4. They would be secondhand as I just couldn't bring myself to drop the $160k needed on any car. It would be more like $100k.

My query is this - are these cars as good as the magazines and others say they are? Are they going to be in a different league to my STi?? Are they worth the $$$??

Anyone had a drive of the M3 or RS4 and can comment?? Also, what other cars would be a step up from the STi?? Porsche maybe??

Cheers
Zombee

Personally I would be going with M3 im a big BMW fan! also I dont think you would get much of a Porsche for 100k what about a Lotus Exige? in another 2 years you might be able to pick up a cheaper one.

I think all 3 of these cars are the Bomb! I think when it comes down to it, you just need to test drive all of them and see what suits you best at the time. GL...

M3 vs. STi, its like comparing a street corner hooker to a high end escort... I know which I'd choose if the cash was there
