Ha Ha! You beat me to it. I was just about to post it as well.
Pretty good result from the M4.

Is there a reason why the RS5 is the favorite punching bag of all the european journalists? Auto express has been hating on the RS5 since it first came out. To them if it can't slide then it's no fun. Put the M4 up against a C63 507 or an E92 and tell us something we don't already know

Okay. This video plus the thread on that BMW that crashed got me thinking. That driver in the video was drifting and if it was an average driver, he/she could have ended up hitting a tree or getting into an accident. I think for the daily driving, you're not going to drift on the local roads. I own a Audi S5, so I take for granted the traction on the turns. I'm an above averaging commuting driver, but it looks like it'll be a good idea for me to sign up for performance driving school when I get the M4 in. Goood reality check for me! I don't intend to go tracking that often, but I think in cases when I might "accidentally" drift, at least I'll know what to do.

Nice test, I can't get over how good the M3/4 looks with AY. IMHO, I think in the looks department, it slaughters the RS5.

hmm
I cant hear the audio but it Looks like the M4 has CCB on it. Still think it would be faster than the RS5 but not by the same margin at all. Those brakes, if on this car, are insane for this comparison. At least have the same spec in the RS5.
Love how these car mags seem hell bent on mismatched comparison tests. Of course a weaker braking car will lose. Especially the heavy RS5. |

@ trinim3 the RS5 came out in 2010.... It's not 6 years old. Also the e92 m3 came out on 2007 that didn't stop comparisons between the RS5 and the older M3
