i was in the market for a RS4 when I was shopping around the M3. I'm glad I dodged that bullet.
Cons of RS4 when I was buying:
1. overall high price to value
2. carbon build-up of the 4.2 and cost of maintenace of issue
3. outdated electronics
4. simplistic AWD system (also a good thing I suppose)
5. sub-optimal handling (nose heavy, heavy)
6. outdated interior
7. overall Audi/VW build quality is inferior to BMW M3 as indicated by quality reporting and surveys
8. minimum need for AWD (mid-atlantic, non-daily driver)
9. limited options and choices in terms of color and packages
