If the owner were to wash it with hot water and dish soap would the scratches come back? No way I'd accept that delivery.

I appreciate the technical superiority of the S4's Dual Clutch transmission as well as the added acceleration.

But if I have to explain why I want a manual then it's probably something you...

Another S4 vs A6 thread.

October 2014 I need to change vehicles.

I keep going back and forth between 2013/14/15 S4 with a manual transmission and a 2012/13/14 A6 3.0.

There is NO WAY I'd own an S4 with an auto (even...

Good article. Regardless of the author's bias I think it's clear to anyone who reads it which car the real winner is.

How can it be cheaper to lease an M3 than an S4?

Let me just preface this by saying that I don't want an M3. But in comparing lease rates I was a bit shocked when the Lease Calculator at BMW.ca indicated a lower monthly payment based on an...

Lease Vs. Buy (yes this again, sorry)

I have never in my life leased a car nor has anyone in my family. I never even considered it an option just because that's the kind of environment I was raised in. The old school, no credit, own and...

I do indeed want a 6 speed transmission. Are you suggesting that will be going away for the B9? That'd be a game changer for sure.

Anyone else on the fence about waiting for the B9?

My original Plan was to buy a 2013 or 2014 this September. However I'm starting to feel like perhaps it'd be better to wait for the B9 redesign.

Now I realize that the B9 S4 will likely not be out...

So will we know what (if any) new colours will be available once the 2014 order forms are out? My current colour choice is a bit of a compromise and I'd love if Sprint or Nogaro blue made a comeback.

Does opting out of adaptive suspension mean there will be a dummy button?

Since I'm dead set on a manual transmission, and I'm the car's only driver, and the fact that an S4 is already considered a compromise sports car (softer than dedicated sports car) I'm really...

Is having 3M Clear Bra installed the equivalent of covering a couch in plastic?

My old A4 was absolutely riddled with stone chips after 3 years. It seems like this is unavoidable.

The idea of 3M Clear Bra sounds good but I feel like it would be a lousy trade off as instead of...
