newbie here, only got a 1.6 mk4 at the moment
but am looking at upgrading with up to about 40k to spend
so had looked at that myself before too,
on a 00 it's only 3700, when you consider a 01 m3 is still 11.5k yet the rs4 is couple grand dearer in stg,
doesn't make sense at all, but good if you want one though,
