Funny. Cause when I was looking for an Audi. The first dealership I went to did even knowledge my present and it wasn’t even busy!! I was there for almost 10mims. So I left...

also, I had an aweful experience @ Lexus. The finance manager told me that I couldn’t (fiannce) 2 cars. He didn’t even check my credit.

In my country, the price difference between the two cars is:
RS3 - starts at: 111,422 USD
M4 convertible - starts at: 217,273 USD

I'm just wondering as it is an incomparable situation.
Is the price difference different in your country?

Wow! Where do you live? Here's what we pay for these cars (USD). The base models are already pretty well optioned, too. Even fully optioned they don't go above $100k.

RS3 starts at: $54,900
M4 Coupe starts at: $68,700
M4 Convertible starts at $77,200

Depends on where you live. Like here in Dubai, there is a 40% markup on all BMWs or at least the high end ones like the M cars as opposed to other parts in Europe or the USA. For Audi, they prices are very close if not the same as the US prices. So I ended up paying almost 30K USD less than what I did for my M4 but for a car that is faster from a stand still and has a much better interior.

And she's here, this Catalunya Red color is intoxicating









The interior quality, the Bang & Olufsen Sound System, and best of all the engine/exhaust sound and acceleration is on a whole new level that I've never experiences before! Love this car! This car gives me that feeling where when I go home, I can't wait till I get back in it and rive it. It's that much fun.

I'm from the middle east. One of the most expensive countries in the world. I think that only Singapore is more expensive.
The prices you've mentioned are a dream come true. I paid for my Mercedes E350e 130,000 USD. I could have bought E63 in the US.
