My Ride: 2002 330CIC with Sports and Premium (Sold 4/2005)
2005 545I Black Saphire Metalic, with Black Dakota Leather, Poplar trim. Sport Package, MTech Body kit and Spoiler, HUD, Comfort Seats, Navigation, Premium sound, CWP, Heated Rear Seats, Window shades. Valentine 1 hardwired, Aux input.
Maybe I am the idiot, but he insists. I looked up the RS4 0-60 time, and it is listed at 4.7 seconds. From what I can find, the M5 does 0-62 in 4.7. Comments?

[/quote]Are you sure that the RS4 weighs only 3400lbs?
The current S4 weighs over 4000lbs and the RS4 is probably even heavier due to the beefed up components. Something tells me your numbers are wrong.

[/quote]Curb weight of the S4 is 3850 lbs, it's the convertable that is over 4,000 lbs.
There are no official weights given yet, but the only two I've found list the RS4 with a curb weight of 3417 lbs, and the avant version (wagon) at 3572 lbs.

They make a big deal about using extensive aluminum on the suspension and hood, and use lightweight seats, so it's possible. We'll have to wait and see for sure. If the performance numbers are correct, 3400 lbs plus sounds about right.

It would be very impressive for the car to only weigh 3400lbs. I guess we shall wait and see...
