    B9 they came for it

    Neighboure reported someone taking pics of the house and the car today. The RS4 is a criminal gang target. Police advise lock up the house, barricade the family upstairs and, well, hope. Interestingly they say they can track the car even with false plates but frankly who cares, it has to go. So...

    B9 they came for it

    frighened off a black clad, masked and hooded b******* last night as he tried to break into the house. He had to be after the rs4, we tracked him touring the village by CCTV looking at cars. Wish I'd let him have it now. Tonight all alarms and lights stay on, dogs are upstairs and various bits...

    Second B9 RS4

    i think i got around 4% off but it was an unusual deal. I had signed for a replacement RS3 a few days earlier and fell into this RS4 making my way to the salesman. Became a price to change to change discussion. The PX was not the best though. Came with Comfort and Sound pack and a very nice...

    Second B9 RS4

    the daytona grey is really nice. I do have to say that having done as you, saw it in the showroom and bought it. I was surprised at the discount as well plus I'm hoping the 'sport' designation will help keep residuals up a little.

    Sport Edition suspension

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Unfortunately my dealer parked a Nevada Grey RS4 Avant Sport iin my way in his showroom and that now sits on my drive instead of the ordered RS3. It has taught me that I do not like the variable handling you get with mag damper.

    HOT NEWS RS4 and RS5: LIMITED NUMBERS OF NEW RS4 AND RS5 CARS BEING BUILT

    Mine went on the road today. Avant sport edition in Nevada grey. I had ordered another RS3 to replace my 3 year old one and fell over this RS4 that had appeared in the showroom. A strange coincidence in that years back I had ordered an S2 just before the RS2 was announced and have always...

    Sport Edition suspension

    Thanks guys. I have told my wife that the suspension will be perfect and that the extra exhaust noise will be compensated for by no longer running MP4S tyres. The exhaust is a little worrying, find for a short fun run but for sitting n traffic or prolonged high speed journeys I prefer a...

    Sport Edition suspension

    Decided to swap out my 2016 RS3 for a 2019 Nardo Grey Sport Edition that the dealer had coming in. This was an impulse buy so I'm not too sure what to expect. My main concern is that I currently have mag dampers, the audi configurator suggested the new one does not. Has anyone compared the...

    BMW M235i on order, test drove an RS3

    Keep your order in, the M235i is a great car. Traction is fine in summer even in the wet. Gets a bit iffy as the temperatures drop more than a bit if the road is greasy but that is why BMW recommend their winter wheel packs below 7C. Not quite as good an all round solution as an RS3 but...

    BMW M235i on order, test drove an RS3

    Yep igmr from babybmw. I think they banned me when I said I'm getting the RS3. Glad to be coming back into Quattro, hoping to get the M135i PX'd for the RS3 before the predicted bad weather hits.. Wish I could afford to run both the RS3 and the M135i. You'll find the lack of traction of the...

    New RS3 questions?

    I got gap for free. Not something i wanted and it was only given after i refused all other insurance. I'd guess the guy was on a sales target for insurance and gap was the cheapest. Not something i'd ever buy from a dealer, there are a whole lot better deals elsewhere.

    BMW M235i on order, test drove an RS3

    I've just px'd my second m135i against the RS4. If you want a fabulous toy they are great fun, if you want an all weather work horse stay quattro. you should consider winter wheels essential and an lsd plus arbs close to if the m235i s your main car. Me, if i could, i would have kept the m135i...

    Waking the neighbors! It has to stop.

    My neighbors are not happy with our M135i and Cupra 280 starting up. On Thursday we were signing up for an ex showroom RS3 when a new owner just taking delivery started his up in the showroom. My wife was so startled she quite literally jumped out of her seat and told me I couldn't have the car...
