I never understand though why they pit these two cars together as the M2 would be a fairer comparison but I guess shows how good the 140i is for the money. You'd be crazy forking out 14k more for the Audi.

It would yes, Chris Harris's vid of the RS3 and M135i was the reason I went for the propeller back in 2014, always thought it was a great review.

It would be a dull old world if everyone's idea of fun was the same :)

It's not actually a propeller at all, it's just the colours of the Bavarian flag. It's one of the most commonly held misconceptions in the western world that the BMW rounded represents a propeller.

Yes, Dorothy, it can happen here. The Audi Winter Driving Experience,. Here in the land of blistering heat and incredible cold ( in the same week) , you hand over a sack of silver and drive out to the Rockies where the Audi people and a crew of racing driver/instructors give you the keys to a New, brand Spanking New S5 or S4 which you then proceed to drive the snot out of on icy roads, lakes and an ice autocross. It is fun with a capital F.

Now the octogenarian up my street with a new S3 that never goes over 2000 revs is another story... :cry: :cry:
Sold the Z4 M Roadster and a 911 Carrera S now I have a 2021 Z4 3.0i
