If BMW can sneak the M3 in 22.5 MPG combined or better with a 400+HP V8, it would be an incredible engineering feat. I wish they were that good, but I don't think so. I'm heading to the office after 6 days off for vacation. Screw all the unanswered emails and phone calls - I'm going to sit at my desk and work up an RS4/M3 cost comparison.

I can't wait to see the outcomes of their head to head competitions which will undoubtably fill a couple of months worth of car magazines.
