Think I am going to pick up a 2005 S4 today..
 

Been eyeing that car for awhile now. Anyone own one?

sure would want one

Very fun car, I had an S4 for several years.

Post some pics once you get it :)

Enjoy!

look into bmw 335... has twin turbos with 300hp/300tq to the wheels stock:thumbsup

S4 is a sweet car.
Love the interior of it.

ya but this has 340hp all natural..

check out the M3 instead yo

333hp

much hotter if you ask me

twin turbo? i just came

I love them. Thinking of getting one myself.. The Cabriolet tho.

ya but it's VW

Here's an interesting video on the subject:

I'd go with AWD over RWD anytime.

btw, is there a 2.7twinturbo S4 for the US market?

it needs a V8 to compete with inline 6 and it still can't beat it...and that b6 is a new s4, e46 m3 is 6 years old now... just wait for the new e92 m3

Indeed. :pimp

the handling is the best feature. i have an 01. check out www.s4forum.com

in that video - S4 is a B6, current S4 is B7..
also - BMW inline 6 has the big turbo, this V8 is NA.
Hard to compare these two engines, choosing a car is a matter of personal preference, both are top class..

I'll just repost a link to a must-see commercial for all audi fans :winkwink:

Then learn how to drive :1orglaugh

I have owned one car that was not a bmw. They are the best, hands down!!!
Inventors of turbo, go for it!!!

lol

if you lived anywhere where it snows once in a while, you'd curse your bmw each time you have to load two bags of cement or anything else heavy in the trunk to keep it moving at all (while a guy in a quattro drives by laughing).
So, agreed - if you live somewhere sunny & dry all-round, get the M3 convertible. If you have seasons - audi.. (This is not the 1st time people are discussing the same topic :)

M3 is inline 6 NA, it doesnt have urbo

im petty sure you have ZERO experience, you just heard it somewhere and think you know it all.... yes my bmw sux with all season tires in snow, BUT once you put a set of winter tires it's like 4x4... never had ANY problems in the winter

i was about to write what you just wrote but i realised that hes buying a used car...
if he was going for some thing new fresh off the truck the 335i would be a great choice
but this is a 8k-ish price drop since its used

danevans, I agree with you... when it's snowing I leave my BMW at home and drive my girlfriend's renault twingo instead :)

follow fuzeboses advice:1orglaugh

ya thats one sick ride

ya thats one sick ride

whose advice? didn't see any advice given by him in this thread...

ok getting late & I won't be replying here anymore,
about the turbo - I was mislead by the posts above, never gave much attention to M3 engine setups
about snow - I have no experience with an M, however two of my very good friends have 3 series (e46), and I've seen them have problems in bad weather (U turns, or once we had to push him out of the slight downhill parking lot, and I had no problems with my audi A4, parked next to him).. Same thing with a mercedes C class (mid size, rwd cars) etc.
If I lived in California or same type of weather - bdjuf's choice is cool.
Here - I'd still go with an audi (I owned a Audi200 ("5000", or just "quattro" in US, I'm not sure, before a4) so why change brand if I'm completely satisfied?

Anyway, BMW-nuts, have a look here

sorry if my hands were shaking lol

Well I went yesturday to go an get it, called before hand to make sure they still had it, they did. But when I arrived it had already been sold :( Oh well, just got to keep my eyes open for more deals. It was an 05 S4, only 29k on it, no accidents,, fucking mint. Was going for 43K canadian. *sigh*

BMW not the best in the snow, but with proper snow tires goes alright if the snow is not too deep. The S4 on the other hand is a handling machine in any weather condition, I found it hard to slide in the snow even when trying.

Both are very nice rides IMO

looks like a great car :thumbsup

You can't go wrong with an Audi!

go go go it's a great car, i love all audis

Turbos are just one more thing to break.

Give me a muscular engine instead.

turbos are not for the weak

That's beautiful.. I want to ride it:thumbsup

Gives me a classy clean feel

Those car dealers are such asses its like u call before
hand to pick up the car and they most likely straight
up lied to you (they knew it was sold) but they said it
was still there just to get you in . Fucking SLime ...
