Replying to: dhamilton (Feb 25, 2007 7:16 pm) Dan, all I got under punching in German Car Fan in the search window was the World Cars site. It didn't have any 08' M3 sedan pics. They are predicting the 08' M3 to be around $55K so I figure in the $60's if you get options like Navigation, unless it comes standard ?   Here's a good pic.   http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=34&article_id=3765   Rocky

Replying to: pat (Feb 24, 2007 5:15 am) I ordered the IS-F. I have the IS350 right now, I traded in a 1999 M3 Convertible for that.   The M3 handled much better than the IS350, though I'm hoping the IS-F will handle better than my old M3. I agree, the new M3 will be faster and handle better than the IS-F, but I'm going to have a hell of a great time with it.   If it wasn't for the damn I-drive, and the fact the M3 would probably cost 20k more (fully loaded) I would LOVE to get it.   Dave Replies to this message: pat (Mar 16, 2007 1:18 am) dkaplan435 (Mar 19, 2007 3:02 pm) aviboy97 (Apr 07, 2007 5:06 am)

Replying to: dkaplan435 (Mar 15, 2007 4:50 pm) About the iDrive, have you experienced it? I haven't, but from what I consistently read in discussions and consumer reviews, nearly everyone reports that it's not at all as difficult as some would have us believe. Like I said, no personal experience here - just wondering about your perspective. Replies to this message: dkaplan435 (Mar 19, 2007 3:02 pm)

Replying to: pat (Mar 16, 2007 1:18 am) I have. My mother has a 530 w/ i-drive. It's ok to use, I suppose.... but nowhere near as easy as my Lexus touchscreen.

Replying to: rockylee (Feb 24, 2007 9:14 pm) I agree 100%. A BMW with similar rated HP will always be faster than a Lexus. I suspect that's because BMW understates their HP.   BMW's are fantastic... I've had 2. I'll still take the Lexus, only because it's almost as good handling-wise, but comfortwise it wins... at least from a HP/Price/features perspective, and of course in my opinion, FWIW, probably not much.

#116 of 147 Audi RS4 vs. S4 by hauss Apr 04, 2007 (10:53 am)
What's the difference between the two? I'm too lazy to look into it on Audi's website. Replies to this message: louiswei (Apr 04, 2007 11:06 am) hauss (Apr 04, 2007 11:55 am)

Replying to: hauss (Apr 04, 2007 10:53 am) Audi S4 to A4 is like the TL-S to TL. Audi RS4 to A4 is like the M3 to 3-series.   Does that make any sense? Replies to this message: hauss (Apr 04, 2007 11:55 am)
