Replying to: stealth4 (Jul 26, 2004 6:00 pm) Ever smoke a blown M3? 0-60 faster than your S4 can get out of it's own way.   I'm not sure why you are touting passing a 760. They are very heavy cars with a 130 mph limit. Load up an additional 700 lbs of cement in your car and then blow by the 760.
#50 of 275 Brand New S4 Tip by jeskali Oct 18, 2004 (12:10 pm)
I just got my new 2005 Audi S4 tiptronic. Absolutely the best car I have ever owned. Came out of a 540i. Beautiful interior-gray leather (black ext), great looking, fast as hell, awd, great stereo, room for 4. What more could you ask for? Handles like its on rails. I always wanted a 911. Now I know I will never get one. This thing rocks!

Replying to: bmorofsky (Sep 05, 2004 9:57 am) BMOROFSKY   I seem to be in the same boat as yourself. I am also in Sales and drive 20k per year. I am in the process of buying a 2005 330Ci with sport premium etc etc etc. The last decision I can't make is SMG over Manual transmission. I understand you had a 330Ci 6-speed and traded to a M3 SMG.   Could you give me your thoughts on the differences, I am hearing a lot of negative info on the SMG even if it will be the SMGII version.   Thanks

Replying to: jeskali (Oct 18, 2004 12:10 pm) How do you like the tiptronic trans with the S4? I am thinking along these lines, as I don't want a manual for what will be a family car in addition to a sports sedan.   Thanks, JP

Time for a new sled! I am smitten by the year road abilities of the S4 cabriolet. Live in a limited snow region but some ice. I would like to know if the lack of an Audi dealer within 150 miles would make present 2003-2005 S4 owners hesitate Thanks MB E320 4 matic for the next few months
#55 of 275 GIAC S4 info?? by boomn29 Nov 30, 2004 (9:17 am)
I'd like more info on this as well.   Found this: GIAC performance software for the 2005 B6 S4 4.2L smoothly delivers a 15-23 hp and 15-28 ft-lbs gain. For optimum power gains the software must be coupled with a cold air intake.   That doesn't seem like a huge gain on top of a 342hp engine!

Replying to: scotth6 (Aug 23, 2004 12:35 pm) Magazine reviews mean little in real life. The two cars are very close and any 'contest' will come down to the driver. On the street, the S4 is much more livable and drivable in everyday conditions. On the track it really comes down to the driver. Heck, tires can play a larger role than engine and suspension.   Drive both and buy the car you like. I'd bet most people would choose the S4 if they could spend a week in each car. The M3 is a blast but as an everyday driver it leaves a little to be desired.

Replying to: jeskali (Oct 18, 2004 12:10 pm) Hi Jeskali,   I just got out of a 2002 540i 6 speed. I loved it but before the the lease was up, I sold it and got into an Infiniti FX45 becasue of the all wheel drive. I thought I was making the right choice. BOY!! Was I wrong! The ride was terrible, gas mileage was super poor around 15 mpg. Ans the AWD is terrible. I was sliding all over the place.   Well I could go on and on. Anyway I was able to get out of this vehicle and now I am coming back to either a BMW or an Audi. I starting looking into an M3 or an S4. I hope to dive them this week. I really love the Quattro in the S4. I think the M3 is going to slip all over the place.   Can you give me your latest impressions of teh S4 today now that you have owned it for a few months. Have you had it out in the snow? How does it handle? Did you ever look inot the M3 or another BMW? Just wanted to get some feed back for other owners.

#58 of 275 slipping all over the place by nyccarguy Jan 02, 2005 (7:05 pm)
that will depend on tires. If you buy a set of winter wheels & tires for either and S4 or an M3, you will be amazed what a set of winter shoes can do. Both cars come with "Summer Only" Z-Rated performance tires that will render either car useless (regardless of AWD or RWD) in any sort of winter weather.
