This is very true... BMW needs to get their Canadian pricing in line with MB. There was, and still is, a $10,000 gap which is crazy.

Whatever. Winning by > 2 seconds vs a very capable car that is *About* as fast as an E9x M3 is impressive.

Well, you can forget all that. The new car is fitted with a turbocharged straight six. Turbocharging? In an M car? That’s like putting gravy on an ice cream. - Jeremy Clarkson, discussing the S65 and then S55 M3 engines. |

Absolutely impressive.
According to specs the RS5 has 25 hp over the M3/4. Right... He indicated 115 mph on that straight in the Audi and "over 120 mph" in the M4. >5 mph difference on that short of a straight is crazy. 425 hp claim is laughable. No doubt it's mega quick and really good looking, just not in that color.

I'm surprised at how many people are trying to diminish this review. It's not the first review that has shown absolutely remarkable track times for the M4...
And redarding the drifting-the driver even said he was going to cut out the drifting for his fast lap, acknowledging that drifting is slower around the track. |

Yeah they are 19s but the take rate on the 19s is extremely small as most get the 20s (they come with the titanium pckg blah blah blah).
I don't know which tires come with the 19s but I'm almost positive it's not Michelin PSSs otherwise every one of the RS5s would be getting those. I personally hate the stock Pirellis. When I switched my S4 out from the stock Contis to PSSs my cornering speeds went from 130 to 155mph...NO JOKE it makes a HUGE difference. |

Yeah unfortunately I don't think they make the PSSs in the RS5 20" size (same BS that the Pirelli's are custom made for the RS5 BS). And please correct me if I'm wrong on that as I'd love to get rid of the Pirellis on my RS5. You would think after being the official tire for F1 they'd have learned how to make a decent performance tire.

Someone mentioned earlier the track battle with those two was done in the damp conditions so that likely accounts for a decent bit of that.

the benefit is longevity and resistance to fade under long and extreme conditions. not a one lap test.
