M3 Vs S4 - which one should I buy?
I currently drive a BMW E46 M3 and whilst I love the driving experience, as a daily drive it definitely has some short comings. My previous car was a diesel A4 B8 Avant and the one thing I really miss is the interior.
I am contemplating swapping my M3 for a B8 S4, do you think this would be a good move ? I am aware that the E46 is potentially starting to earn a little bit of money and I really enjoy the performance of the M3 but I can't stop hankering after the refinement of an Audi. Would I be disappointed with an S4?

An S4 4.2 V8 as opposed to an RS4 is a relatively much softer car than an E46 M3. Has the power, but isn't particularly stimulating to drive.

Masses of power, grip and adrenalin-fuelled fun, yet also docile when you want it to be. A fantastic all-round drive.
