Exactly. I don’t care how ugly the m4 is, at least it’s a real M car

May I introduce you to the new 2023 Audi RS5? Fast, sleek, and, most importantly, affordable.

Does Audi do anything better? I feel like most of their RS offerings (R8 aside which technically isn’t RS) lag behind the competition in both interiors and exterior. Mercedes arguably does interior better and BMW has S58 motor going for it.

IMO it’s a perfect blend of bmw and mercedes. You get a little bit of what both a benz and bmw offer

28

I’m on the other side of the spectrum I guess. For me you get neither, so the worst of both worlds and still $$$.

I don’t think anyone’s doing flat 4s other than Porsche and Subaru?

Something isn’t addding up as both RateHackr and Edmunds have the 36/15 RV at 59%.

Also standard Mercedes advice but you need to run 42 and 48 month numbers as well as this is typically the sweet spot for most all mainstream models, not 36 months.

If this is the car you have to have, you should finance it.

And you want a c43 instead? That’s a decent downgrade

This is a horrible deal

Scary deal. You can probably get an M8 for $200 more per month 36/10.

Not looking for advice on cars and arguing on what cars are better. I owned the m4 for 10k miles and didn’t like it so I know what car is for me and what isn’t. I’ve owned 2 AMG’s and comparing them to the m4, yes the AMGs are much better in my opinion, even the 4cyl ones.

I was curious on that, I got a lease quote on a $90k x3m and with $0 down 36/15k miles it’s $1600 lol

Certain types of cars are best bought, not leased.

Especially for the mileage you’re trying to drive…

I’ve had that on my radar but from what I was told from other owners that it’s kind of bland. I need to test drive one

38

I think you are right, if I do decide to get this car it just doesn’t seem like Mercedes is offering any sort of good lease terms with any of their cars compared to bmw for example

39

Except eqs.

And yes better buy than lease this vehicle.

Just out of curiosity, what was your total cost on the m4 for those 10k miles
