The 2007 Audi RS4, the 2008 BMW M3, and the 2014 C63 AMG 507 Edition can all be found for a similar cost (~$30,000 USD / $42,000 CAD) and they all offer V8 sedan thrills. The Audi has a manual transmission and a legendary Quattro AWD system. The Mercedes has a massive 6.2 L engine and a boatload of torque. And the BMW has a rev-happy engine and fairly significant weight advantage. But which would you choose? And which offers the best blend of performance and dailyability? But most importantly, should you still buy one of these today, or choose something more sensible? Thomas and James can’t wait to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!

As an elder millennial this generation of sports sedans will always be on a pedestal. That RS4 design is timeless they could release that today

FYI since you mention head bolts in the 507 - the design was changed prior to the facelifted C63 which the 507 belongs to. No longer an issue!

I love all these cars but in the v8 era Audi did their thing. Love me an e90 m3 and c63 but something about Audi in that time was just so good. There really is something special about Audis enthusiast cars. Sitting next to the others the rs4 makes them look like regular traffic

Some years back I instructed at a school at COTA. My student had the coupe version of this M3 with a Billy Boat exhaust. That full throttle run from turn 11 to 12… I needed a cigarette afterwards.
