Also, there is a production model of the M3 that is significantly faster, M3 GTR... which dusts the S4 in any situation...

BMW gmbh and BMW UK both quote 5.2 as the 0-60 time.
Yes, I have heard of "Car" mag. Presumably they have something good to say about the M3?
I know about the M3 GTR; more money for less car.... well less weight anyway. But frankly this is a bit irrelevant to me. If you want a bare bones go kart, then but a Lotus Elise. Its faster and better handling than an M3 or an S4 and about half the price.
The S4 would be even quicker if I take the seats out ;-)
The issue we are debating is that both the M3 and the S4 are genuinely every-day useable cars and which one is faster/better. I say the S4 is faster. Others may disagree. But either way its close. Very close. Anyone saying the M3 is way faster are just plain wrong. It just isn't.
Chip.
