B7 Audi S4 to BMW E92 M3

So what do you guys think? Is it worth it to switch my 07 S4 (with dtm package) to the new BMW M3? Or should I keep my Audi?

-edit: E92 M3 Coupe

+1. The only reason I have an S4 is because we have snow.

Keep the S4. Obviously the M3 will be faster, but there'll always be something faster...

Makes sense ONLY if you can get it at MSRP or below.
If not, then, that's the lamest idea I've heard this week

The new M3 is nice, but I'd give BMW one year to work out the bugs. Don't buy a first year BMW, trust me on that.

I'm not sure what you paid for your S4, but you've already taken about $10K depreciation so next year you'll take ~$8K, then the third year ~$6K. So the worst is already over

Just keep the S4.

I would stick with the S4, the DTM package is sweet. Just DTM and not the 25th anniversary car?? I walked on a New M3 a couple of nights ago, well lets say I crept up and passed it on a double turn on ramp. As I passed him he was startled to se another car pass him coming out of a corner doing 70+. The M looks much better in pictures than in real life, E46 IMOP is sexier.

Definitely don't pay over sticker for the M3, just wait until next year and by then you may have the RS5 as an option as well.

Snow? Stay with the S4. BMW are dangerous in snow, i had serious problems with a BMW 525i in last winter because of that... Bad experience, not recommended

Either get an RS4, or wait on the M3 to drop in price.

I don't think buying a car brand new is a "smart" move any way you slice it. Too much of a depreciation hit.

Good points about the RS5 being out soon, also. But I'm real biased on the RS4. I saw a new M3 the other day and while it's nice, it just didn't seem to flow very well.
