BMW 335i M-Sport (Twin Turbo Petrol)
Basic Stage 1 Upgrades & Re-Map
Uprated Brake Kit
Quaife LSD
From what I've read, the engine in the 335i is extremely responsive to basic mods and you'll see 400+ from basic upgrades... in fact, a guy over on Scoobynet has a 335i Touring and has the AP Brakes and Quaife Diff and seriously rates it. He's had an RS6 an E39 M5 before and I'm sure that he said the 335i is the best all rounder he's had now he's upgraded it.
I'm sure if you YouTube it then there are various videos of these cars in action as well.
Cheers,
Grant

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
That is fucking.............. hideous.
Oh and Scott,
Drive the cars, I would probably take an RS4 over most things, they are not boring, they sound glorious and are very useable, but I have a dog and off road bikes to tow. If that wasn't a consideration at all I would be in a Porsche, probably a GT3 though over a Turbo if it was just a toy.
The turbo is phenomenal but the noise and feeling of a high revving flat 6 is great for me. My foreman at work thought I was an idiot, until he drove a GT3 hahaha

A nice RS4 Avant in black would be my choice, and despite whats been said earlier in this thread you can get a nice Audi RS4 circa 2006 for £28k, plenty of them on pistonheads for starters.
What you doing with your A4 tdi Scott?

............
if you want a sports car you can drive hard and not worry about then the best porsche you can get for your £25k...........there is no comaprison between a bespoke sports car chassis and a very very fast saloon car.
It depends what you want really
