This is a great car …
This is a great car. The 135i is faster with a nicer engine but I personally prefer the S3. My only gripe really is the character of the engine. Whilst it is highly praised I am a little spoilt as I currently on a 2007 Type-R which develops 200bhp without a turbo. Much more free revving and the sound is 3 times as better as a S3. The honda engine and exhaust note is sublime… try it in a tunnel one time and you will swear you have gone to heaven. That said I am buying an S3 for my next car….
so what the f*ck, …
so what the f*ck, go buy your 1 series…o maybe enjoy it and shut up. stats are not the only aspect that matters..and as long as bmw does not bring an m1 to the market the s3 will be the top premium hothatch
your incorrect, the …
your incorrect, the S3 does 5.7 seconds according to Audi while the the 335i manual does 5.5 seconds according to bmw stats. Independant tests show the S3 barely being able to crack 14 seconds over the standing 1/4 mile, while the 335i runs as low as a 13.3 stock. Perhaps you should read car and driver, road and track, edmunds etc… because you have no idea. A 135i is the S3s competitor, and it will utterly thrash it. A 130i doesnt have the straightline speed, but will out do an S3 on the track
he said the 130i …
he said the 130i hatch….not the 335i.the 335i is actually 0-100km/h in 5.6 the s3 is 5.5 but some say its 5.7…anyway the point is 0.1sec faster does not justify you calling someone ‘intellectually challenged’ when clearly you compare cars to what you see on paper not how they are in real life
well a new Z06 will …
well a new Z06 will blow out all of those. what the are you trying to get at. They are cars.. people buy the S3 because they don’t like the 135 and vice versa. they are all nice quick cars for different people. people arguing over this is getting so lame/old.
I meant to say the …
I meant to say the ” RS4 is meant to be a match for the M3″ haha emphasis on MEANT…
Intersimone, you …
Intersimone, you clearly are intellectually challenged, so perhaps you should be enlightened that a 335i is quicker in a straightline and on a closed circuit than an S4… and with a minor remap/chip the 335i can decimate an RS4… the RS4 is no matched at the e92 M3, but its slightly slower in straightline and closed track applications…. It can get better traction from a standing start than an m3, but has notably less topend pull, and above 80mph the m3 is far quicker
The S4 competes …
The S4 competes with the 335i in price and performance where the RS4 is intended to compete against the M3….
the 335i doesnt …
the 335i doesnt compete with an s4 u crazy!?
a friend of mine …
a friend of mine has it in white.. black rims.. black leather interior sport seats.. u can open the roof up… tite .. i want it for my 18
a 335i or m3 …
a 335i or m3 competes with an S4 … the 1 series is a A3 competitor.
This car has …
This car has completely numb steering and is devoid of feel, it has a fwd bias ( Haldex system), so it understeers heavily, and the front wheels have to break traction before power is shot to the rear wheels.
Nice Video lolz, my …

By the way, the …
By the way, the sound is fantastic. Especially from the exhaust, it sounds like a subaru from outside. I love it when the turbo starts to whistle after 2500 rpm…
I have an audi s3 …
I have an audi s3 2008 and it is phenominal. The power delievery is not ‘poo’, it is astonishing. It feels far faster than the 5.7 second 0-60 claim, and getting to 155 is easier than it sounds. Everything about this car is absoloutely awesome.
i heard they’re …
i heard they’re power delievery is abit poo & the engine needs to be revved but it doesnt feel or sound too good
I would like an …
I would like an audi rs3 please lighter, stiffer suspension, sharper rack, lighter alloys one off specials semi slick tyres, no air con, no spare tyre lol. keep the 4wd but have the split in favour of the rear like 60/40 or maybe even 70/30 :p uprated turbo more around 31obhp that would be one fast car would like to see that against an s4 or even rs4 or 335i 3 series turbo

I agree…I’ve …
I agree…I’ve driven both. The 135i is quicker but I prefer the S3. The 135i does not an M car and so it’s just a typical BMW with a big engine… no drama… no emotion… just plain and boring. The S3 on the other hand has some history, some drama, it has something SPECIAL about it. Just compare the interiors of both of the cars and you will find the S3, especially with the bucket seats, makes you feel special.
