Second run of Audi RS3
Now this would really annoy me if I had bought an RS3. I trust BMW won't be tempted to do another run of the 1M in the UK, otherwise I feel the lawyers could be busy
Just shows how Audi treat their customers. Buy a limited run car and they then produce more, thus devaluing the price and rarity. Would never buy another Audi http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/audi/rs3/59276/audi-rs3-sportback |

It would bug me. You buy a car thinking there's only going to 'x' of them and suddenly there's 'x + y' ! If you've told customers it is a limited run it should be limited.

This happened with the Renault Clio Wiiliams and also upset a lot of owners.
Personally I can't see the difference in looks between an Audi tdi and a RS model anyway. At least you see a difference with M Power cars although recently some regular models are getting a bit too close for comfort.

It would also bug me had that been a reason for buying it.
Why didn't they uprate it to 360bhp and call it a plus like the TT-RS. Also noticed front tyres have two options, both larger (235 and 255) than rears (225) |

All of the RS3's I've seen here in Germany (including the ones at Audi Forum in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm) have had 235's up front while 225's out in back. They also have CF front fenders standard. Dack

Couple of new colours and I think the standard sports seats have changed too. |

I don't think BMW or Audi made any promises about how big the run would be and I think the whining reflects a naive approach to car buying!

And I had the BMW UK product manager tell me it in person. And I know where he works ;-)

That would clearly a bold faced lie and false advertising, pure and simple.
