Keep the RS4 until the CS comes out. Both are going to be sought after vehicles.

I'm not in a hurry, so I guess we'll find out.

I would still like to better understand why some people would "avoid the PE" cars.

I'm with ya for sure. I can wait for the CS... As long as it's a 6spd...up to $70k is what I feel comfortable paying. $64.9k sounds terrific. I have a slot for 2018 m2 and a quote for dinan upgrades sittin at the dealership. I hope they "leak" the details soon so I can make a decision!

So, upgrades: I assume you could add the suspension and exhaust found on the PE as aftermarket from Dinan, but it would cost more (?) to do that to a non PE M2 than just buy the PE? If so, do you have numbers around that?

That thought had crossed my mind as well. Not sure if Dinan suspension is better or worse than PE's suspension. Im looking at around 70 out the door for MY 2018 with Dinan tune, turbo, intercooler, exhaust, and suspension. I am thinking that adding the tune, turbo, and intercooler to the PE would be close in price. I do like the Alpine White!
thanks for the suggestion!

Dinan M2 > PE M2 > RS3

Definitely go with the Dinan with all those upgrades. At $70K you're still cheaper than what us Canadians have to pay for a bone stock model!

I'd get the Dinan intake, too. Not all that much more, and the turbo sounds are worth it

Not so sure about that..70K USD = 94.5K CAD!

Well after conversion sure but that's only because our dollar is absolutely tanking. Thanks to our lovely federal leadership.
