I know the prices vary but as far as performance
which one would be it? thanks.

Re: honest opinions please..
they are all different.. M3 is probably the fastest of the 3.. S4 is the most luxurious.. and the 2k2 max isnt bad..
i would choose the S4.. twin turbo V6 with a chip that adds 100 HPs..

Re: honest opinions please..
s4 all the way....250hp and 258tq hitting at 1800rpm, plus with most of those turbo Audis, you add a chip and you're crazy times at the track!!! the interior(dash setup) is kinda boring to me, but seems like a nice ride! next would be the M3 and lastly the 2k2 Max.

i would say the s4 since it has luxury, speed everyone all in one for around mid to high 3's preowned.
last gen m3 is kinda boxy looking but great engine, great interior.
2k2 max, in the end u are still driving a japanese nissan maxima.

A new S4 is really expensive. Have you looked into a new 4 cylinder A4 Turbo? Audi makes a chip that will soup up the Turbo and it will give it another 40 HP. That will make it outrun an S4 easy. I drag raced a brand new S4 and it ran a 14.90. With the chip, the A4 4 Cylinder A4 can run mid/high 14's. And it only costs low 30,000's. Look into it. It's really nice. The V6 A4's are pretty expensive and are faster "stock for stock" but the A4 4 cyl Turbo will be faster with the Audi chip ($400?). Look into it....you'll like it.

You have a good point DA-MAX! But Nissan is making a comeback like never before. LINE UP: Sentra SE-R, 6 speed Maxima, Altima with a 3.5 liter, SuperCharged Xterra and Frontier, G35 for Infiniti. Just wait until the new Z is realeazed!!! Performance and handling like the Porsche BoxsterS for about $15k less. Ah, and NISMO will be here next year!!

I vote for the S4 I test drove that car, it is sweet and fast. Great handling and if you buy the chip you will have 330 hp. They are also working on a stage three for the S4 which might be close to 500hp, you can't produce that kind of power on the max. BMW maybe, but it's harder to do on an N/A engine. Get the turbo S4!

what are you guys.. retarded you never ever ever ever ever.. ever ever.. ever ever.. pick an NA car over a Turbo car.. can you imagine..
the mods per hp is phenominal.. you change the y pipe on a maxima you probably see 10 hp.. you change the y pipe on a turbo car.. my god.. you are looking at 20 - 30 hp.. and the list goes on..
S4 all the way baby.. don't look back..

A4 is way too expensive for the performance it gives in stock form..

How much does a chip for the audi go for anyhow? I vote the Audi though I mean you chip it and do some exhaust work and your in. I mean like it was said they are working there way up to 500HP. I would love that, go for it.
How do you install a chip anyhow? Is it ECU Based? Why is it that the Maxima cannot get performance chips like this and other cars?

the chip due to your stock ECU being tampered with will void your warranty from the dealership.. some dealerships seal the ecu case so they will be aware of tampering.. while others don't and if thats the case then its by luck of the draw if you want to chip or not...
the reason a performance chip on a maxima will not be as great on an S4 is because the chip on the S4 and A4's .. Passats.. Golf's... jetta's whatever.. actually increases the boost .. so the turbo is running at higher boost.. its just like supra guys buy boost controllers so they can turn up the boost.. Maxima is an NA engine so you can't see that improvement like a turbo car

Damn Sprint you and I think alike........
As soon as I saw the thread starters post I thought Audi S4 all the way. Are you guys nuts or something??? Think about it, for the money you get a stock car that performs within fractions of the M3's performance and its newer. Not to mention that AWD is AWD. Sprint touched on a really good point. The S4 comes stock with turbo plumbing and accessories. Its very easy to coax extra horsepower from this motor than any other in this comparison. And when its all said and done I'd really like to see the Maxima or BMW match the S4's 60' time. Could you imagine?!?! AWD!
Hey plus I'm sure Audi's 6 speed manual will be more fun to drive than Nissan's. I'd say jet black S4 or if you have a little flash in you go with the silver.

i'd take the e36 m3. it has it all: great handling. steering. oversized brakes. perfectly balanced motor. and though its older than the other models the body structure is stiffer (subjective, but its pretty obvious). plus, most importantly, the cachet of the "M".

I would get the S4 because it's AWD, and not just AWD but Audi AWD, you could burn the M3 in the rain not matter if you have a chip or not, plus you get two turbos, which with a little work could have A$$loads of HP
