WOW! First off… I’m a BMW fanboy through and through… But ever since the S5 was came out a few years ago i have been just waiting for a nice rs5 to follow. The rs4 is a beautiful machine but its coupe predecessor is gorgeous. I love the M3 as far as I am concerned for the $85k it costs for a new Nissan GTR supercar I would take the M3 without hesitation… The RS5 is stunning though… It’s a tough call between the two… I think the Audi has a very nice stance and the front grill and facia look great… But the BMW looks so much more agressive. The big hood bump that implies the motor is way too big and powerful to fit in such a small confined space. and the grills on the side that are famous on the M-series suits the styling very well and of course the quad exhaust on the BMW that the S5 has but is not present on the RS5. The Audi boasts almost 50 more hp then the BMW but the quattro system is very heavy and I’m sure the light weight M3 will have a track advantage on the RS5. Basically what it comes down to for me is… As fast as the the RS5 is and as good as it looks, it will NEVER be as much fun to drive as an M3. At the end of the day RWD>AWD. I would have written more about the performance and about the cars but i think this site does a great job of explaining and comparing the two.
