The final derivative of the forgotten B9 generation is an admirable go at rewriting history...
Is there a more telling demonstration of the B9 RS4’s so-so status than having ’this section needs expansion’ stamped on its hasty Wikipedia entry? This is a German über wagon with nearly 25 years of history behind it, after all - including possibly the greatest fast estate ever - and yet so far as no one has thought to respond to a 2018 request for additional information on the current generation.
Even in this, the run-out and slightly weird groove ‘Competition’ spec, that number does not change. Which is a shame when you consider that the limited edition model costs from £84,600 - a number that, for awhile, exceeded the starting price of a BMW M3 Touring. That car, you may recall, is furnished with 510hp and sufficient BDE to power a sun.
The way it drives in the UK certainly lends weight to the latter. No one ever suggested the B9 was ineffective or inadequate at the essential business of pushing on, it just never managed to seem interesting or wonderfully deft while doing it - a trait which helped to make the RS4 as forgettable as its Wikipedia entry suggests. The Competition version, and specifically the trick suspension that distinguishes it from standard, goes a long way to resetting this balance.
