Fifth Ring

Yeah, I had it wrong. It's possible then that the V10 will not fit in the A4/A5 architecture.

KiwiRobbie

If you have looked under the bonnet of an S5 there is quite a bit of air between the radiator and the front of the engine. Next point the chassis of the A4/A5 is going to be used in the next A6 which means that it has been designed to fit the V10. Another option for the RS4 would be the non turbo v10 from the S6, that would really put the cat amoung the pigeons.

Carl Lassiter

The current RS4 makes 414bhp to the S6's 429bhp. They'd need to ramp up the tune again on ther V10 as just 15bhp for an extra one liter is not going to do too much. I like the S6 as it has a huge trunk and rear legroom, but the B7 RS4 is more thrilling from its brakes and suspension to its 8,250 redline.

E63 over M5? Where did you read this? Link please.

GBlansten

I'm looking forward to this.

mannnu81

lol, theyre gona do something like this, with theyr usually quirky humor : if you like to drive while shaving a peacock and drinking tea at the same time, pick the RS4. if you like to sit in the back seat and you read todays stock values, while "the force" drives the car for you, pick the AMG. if you like to chainsaw the wood your going to use at your winter log cabin on you ski trip while you drive, pick the M3. but overall, pick the M3.

lol, always happens. but IMO: 1,2 - M3, RS4?? 3. AMG

ill be checking back to see the posted results since i dont have UK BBC

No he picked the Range Rover.

M5 was more fun, cheaper, and better looking

E63 had a better ride, bigger trunk, and a bit quicker in a straight line.

If I wanted a sports wagon... the sporting nod goes to the bmw!

And we need to remember who runs the show for the most part.

Clarkson will like the MB but will give the nod to the bmw. He has owned many Mercedes cars so the C63 has a chance. I think once the 3 cars hit their test track in the hand of the Stigg, the C63 will not be as quick and therefore it will lose out to the lighter M3.

Ok finally to those who want to watch the show regularly go to finalgear.com. Every episode of fifth gear and topgear is on there in a 700 meg file (hd versions available for new episodes as well). Just download the torrent and get a torrent program and the episode will be on your computer in a night or so. Quality is always very good.

Enjoy

Thanks chip. On a sidenote, when is your CLK 63 BS arriving?

chiphomme

I picked it up 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately it snowed the following day and I had to park it in the garage. I go out there occassionaly though and act like that kid in the Mazda commercials saying "zoom, zoom" to myself.

erol/frost

Yeah, i just saw your "delivery"-thread over at the 63 BS-forum. Sorry for derailing this thread.

This in from M5messageboard...

Apparently the result been leaked

"The results are no one clear winner but it they decide as follows:

Clarkson chooses the AMG C63 as the winner - for it's sheer grunt.
James May chooses the RS4 for it's discretion
Richard Hammon chooses the M3 for it's interaction

The AMG 63 wins the drag (shock horror), M3 2nd, RS4 3rd
The RS4 again comes last round the track , but not sure which won out of the M3 & AMG.

(a contact from the show has leaked this) - enjoy on TV in UK on 23rd Dec"

Here is another video M3 vs C63...

dl'ing now... it's taking forever though (and it doesn't look like anyone is seeding)

wtf? I don't know if there's history between you two, but that was uncalled for. he was stating what happened from a TV show and you attack him?

one more outburst like this and you're

nlpamg

here you go guys, courtesy of your buddies over at M3forum (E46M3FTW to be more precise)... and who says "M3 owners don't have friends" (oh yeah, Jeremy Clarkson--watch it in the video )

My mind has been made up since August and this helped to solidify it, but daaaaamn! I'm loving the C63 after this! M3 or C63, you can't go wrong!

Before you post things like that on a mb site check this out...

and look at the drag race. But the M3 is sure good in the twisties...

IwantA124

I said that because he is a BMW owner and I felt that he insulted MB by adding a after the "M3 won!!!" If he was just stating a fact without any arrogance with his thumbs up then I apoligize.
