I had an S4 last year, LOVED it, sooo practical, fast enough, had a Milltek fitted and it sounded unbelievable, reliable, not tooo bad on juice and they can be had quite cheap now!! Would even be tempted to buy another one!

Few pics of it in its various guises/vinyl wrapped colours!!

you can get the 540i E39 and 550i E61 - V8 Tourings.

theyre available in sports trim which look very similar to the M5s

E36 are getting on a bit now though, but i would still really like one.

Unlikely I would have thought at £25k with Full dealer service history!

That E36 looks quality!

Unless youve got a BIG budget I wouldnt touch an RS6, and I definitly wouldnt go anywhere near a cheap one!

If you like the RS4, its worth another look as the prices have dropped bigtime in the last few months.
I paid 9k for mine with Milltek, B7 RS4 brakes, remapped to 445bhp, H&R ARB's and short shift.
Ive since fitted some H&R springs, spacers and other bits and bobs.
Once they're lowered and have spacers they have massive presence on the road

i do like them and the rs6 if i was to go for a rs6 would make sure it has the right stuff ie coil overs and gearbox done, with a good history. they does seem to be a massive drop in the prices of most high end car lately. just hope my ml sells so i can make the most of it.

would like a nice 330d or 530d but are quite expensive. i dont use it that much so mpg dont worry me too much. plus the audi rs are just awsome piece of kit.

I was toying with a 330d, but unless you do long runs the mpg isnt that much better than an RS!
