I had a BMW 335 for a few days while we worked on it was stupidly fun and fast to start with as standard but after an exhaust system, intercooler mods and a custom remap it was mindblowingly good for a diesel, they drive very much like a petrol and will keep with a standard M3 easily.
Its on the list for my next car.

Might go buy it later to be honest! Petrol is paid for by work and insurance Ive managed to get for £650! 
You've done amazingly well to sell both the cars in such a short space of time with todays market.
Its a no brainer for me though with ins at £650 and no petrol issues.
What colour is the rs6 your looking at?

I thought some of the tuner cars with exhaust and remap had given better performance times than the M3?
Especially in gear acceleration
Stu, as someones said, what about a Monaro VXR/SC???
500bhp, 500lb ft, nearly M5 pace.... not to be sniffed at. We'd have one if it fit in the garage

Some seriously impressive performance times from a big heavy car. Won't be RS6 pace, but won't be that far off.
And retains 40mpg
I am also car-less  But this will be for the foresee-able future
[Edited on 02-09-2008 by VXR]
that will be the diesel then

Yup. Hate it for track, but the technology is superb on the road.
You want instant available power. TDi provides this.

Well, that's you isn't it. I hardly ever had the sounds on in my scooby. If the car sounds nice, i'd rather hear that tbh.
I suppose one'd be handy for those long journeys.

Still thinking RS6 y'know! Hold £2000 back for a remap and a Milltek that will take it up to 500bhp and then hold another £2k back for 2 years of extended warranty.
Luxury and speed and a pretty subtle car!

Gorgeous cars.
I know someone with one that's 400bhp. I couldn't catch it on my bike, wasn't loosing me, but I couldn't catch him once we got to about 140+, mental quick
