The difference between standards is exactly 75kg (68kg driver, 7kg cargo).

So, to compare the numbers you should always:

a) add 75kg to Audi weight figures, or
b) take away 75kg from BMW weight figures.




So, the comparable figures are:

by EU standard: 1,655kg (M3) vs 1,725kg (RS4), or
by DIN standard: 1,580kg (M3) vs 1,650kg (RS4).


The fact:

RS4 is 70kg heavier than M3.

Thanks Greg. Interesting how some new members are coming out of the woodwork to "show" the RS4 is better, huh?
