I was on the sales training in Istanbul now, we had the rs5, c63 limited edition and m3/m4. We only did full track driving with the m3 and m4. On the small track we had some fun with all the cars.
You probably understand that I work with BMW and that I like BMW. I have just gotten a deal on an m4 but I was close to buying a c4s also. So it isn't just Bmw, but almost...
Before the testdrive the c63 didn't give me anything, the design just doesn't do it. In Norway 80-90% of cabs are MB. I expected an old am car type of feeling with great sound.
Regarding the rs5 I expected a good car, but with Quattro and the engine pleased in front of the suspension I wasn't looking forward to the technical small test track. I like the design on the rs5, but still it is an Audi.
The BMW I had huge expectations for. And what can I say??
The car is the benchmark.
I was surprised by the handling of both mb and Audi. Greats cars but just don't good enough.
The MB is an old car compared to the other, no dct+++
If you are looking for greats sound so everybody at the boulevard looks at you. Go get it, but I know there is a better car out there for me(for much less money).
The rs5 is also a good car. Nothing wrong with it, just not great. Why do Audi I the dtm race cars with rwd, not Quattro...
The main difference between the Audi and the BMW for me was that when I drove the Audi it was fun and safe. The BMW was more a "beast". It was more than fun to drive, it was joy. It required that I was in to it and it sharpened me. Just what I want. It want be the next widowmaker, but a very good combination of a dd and a trackday car. Not a race car.
