Hey, yeah, I ran into this at the BMW dealer in Buffalo when I got my 
droF.  My friend that sold me the droF is looking at an M3.  The salesman 
there just didn't understand that Quattros are unbeatable in the slippery 
stuff.  Not only that, but he claimed that at some M3 driving school they 
had, there were A4s for comparison, with Skip Barber instructors, and "the 
only car that couldn't get through the slalom without spinning out was 
the A4."  And, he was quick to point out that these were Skip Barber 
instructors that couldn't handle the A4!   I just said that I knew a Skip 
Barber instructor that I thought would prefer an A4  (Eric?).
