Vs Audi S3 vs BMW M135i

[Zafiro]

How much power? Have you any source of that?

Ask Deckhook. He is the one saying so.....

 

[JHF]

I disagree. There will be another M-version of 1-series. its the real RS3 hunter. M = RS. M-performance = S

Then we have to wait, if the RS3 comes first, then its going to competes with BMW M135i After that M-version of 1-series competes with new Audi RS3.

 

[Mr Robert]

And if there were no M135i, would it have been the 120d that had competed with the RS3?

 

[Deckhook]

Dont forget some Audis like S7 develop more power than Audi claim. Thats what you said in the past. Audi might to the same with S3

I do reckon the 4.0TFSI like the S4's 3.0TFSI makes more than quoted, how much this might be is pure guesswork at the moment until we have some dyno data but I can't believe it's much more than maybe 15-20hp. The problem I see with the S3 isn't the hp but its torque, it's down 100Nm on the M135i and this is considerable.

If it proves me wrong then I will be surprised, pleasantly so but I somehow doubt this will happen. That said I still reckon it will be the one to own because I think the A3 is a better car overall.

So where are you from?

My B8 S4 cost £8k less than my E46 M3, even though it was bought years later. The B8 S4 is slightly faster even though it's quite a lot bigger/heavier, but the B8 S4 was designed many after the E46 M3.

Here the E46 M3 was around 45k when it was launched in 2002 though I think it did go up to 47k by it's last year. And S4 starts around 47k now.

 

[Mr Robert]

Same here, the S4 is about the same as an M3.

 

[Deckhook]

^No wonder why you guys have it hard for the M3, all that performance for S4 money.

I know that the language in The Sims is a mix of existing ones and my reply was more of a question to you guys

Does the new S3 use a different quattro system to the RS3?? Because that would seem to be one of the only ways to quell the massive understeer

Apparently, Haldex was developing a new 4wd system to the MBQ platform, but there are still few details about that.

Here's the article

Will it be their new 6th gen system? If I remember correctly, the S60 Polestar was the first to use it

According with I've been reading, the S60 Polestar uses the 4th Generation of Haldex with eLsd, the same system Saab used in its final days, the XWD.

But Haldex now has a 5th Generation. Maybe that's the one VAG uses in the MBQ platform

You got a good running business mate.

The business might be doing well but it's always ups and downs same as the emotions I experience... it's damn hard and I'm already in for a change again

Not to be off topic completely I'll add that the above is another reason why I choose driver enjoyment over almost anything else and the M135i is perfect for a daily as it's fuel efficient too

The crappy handler just got killed by the cheap Bimmer... on the road... on track... even in the drag race
As I said few months ago that the M135i is the bargain of the year... now I'm hearing it from Chris Harris too!
Best confirmation of all!
Audi should be ashamed! Do a proper RS car finally!
Imagine M3 getting beaten by a stock S4... it's the same but yes you can't even imagine it

The RS3 was actually almost a full second faster around the track. Not sure how it got killed there.
That aside I would snatch the bimmer with out hesitation. It's the most impressive BMW at the moment at least in my opinion,and I actually think looks pretty good in that video.
