Same here! He was slowed down by a car in the front and i was trying to drive side by side and see his fxxk face,
But he immediately floor it again.
Having said that, i am sure you will be impressed with audi's 2.0T engine, i got to say it is fast for a 2.0 liters!!

Yes i did, i shifted to 2nd gear in manual mode and floor it, but that 1.8 turbo still able to pull away from me about 2 cars length. damn it!
That Audi driver must think his 1.8 can beat bmw 3.0, i am gutted
I wont play with the amg though, cos i've driven them and they are really fast on the straight line, although still no match with Mike's GTR

I think A3 is probably 200KG less than your car.
You should save bullet and get a E90 M3

You should put power to weight into consideration.

And the turbo really has the advantage at low speed.
E90 is abit too expensive to me at the moment, 35i Z4 is really worth to consider tho

Just an update for the Koni FSD (for those of you planning to change or in the future 
)
Ride:
Excellent for the HK roads, very close to the stock set up, absorbs all rough roads with ease, the cabin noise is close to the stock too
Handling and performance:
Pros
1)The car now can turn in at higher speed, and higher speed in the middle of corner,
2)you can actually feel the FSD works in the bigger bends.
Cons
1) With higher confident and speed in the bend, you might enter the corner at higher speed then the car can do
--> lots of understeering occurs which is not good if you want a quick track time (Maybe i need more time to get used to)
2) FSD works excellent in big corners, but not as much as in the twisky roads
3) If the height can be lower another 1/2 inch would be perfect (But it might ruins the ride quality at the same time)
Sum up:
Excellent balance of ride comfort and performance
Exceptional good value for the price you pay
If you want exterme sport, Koni FSD wasnt really for you (Although i havent tried bilstein myself so cant compare)

Nice write up keith! I am too lazy to write such report, nor have the guts to drive in such aspiring way to find out the limit of our FSD.
but from my experience, I am 100% agree with the comfort part!

Call AK to arrange.
My E93 looks lovely after 6 hrs of work (I gave him my ride a little too late)
