Default Ex M3 owner considering RS4

Just recently handed back an E46 M3 after numerous problems and like the RS4 - especially after viewing the video below! After having a bad experience with the M3 I don't want this repeated with an RS4. So my question is... are they reliable? Are there any known problems with them? How many of you own one with problems?

Default I remember you from Bimmer.org...

I liked your color combo. As far as reliability. The majority of the owners here are in the US. Weak points in the S4: transmission and KO3s. The RS4 has KO4 turbos, which I haven't heard any problems on.

You may want to check RS4.org for more info

Default You might want to check out RS4.org as well, for info from people who actually own RS4s ...

Unlike us RS4 dreamers in the States! : )

Default good luck I heard the RS4 is sold out!

I was thinking of getting one on my next rotation to Great Britian and was told by a dealer that the whole run was completely sold out. I was depressed!
