German Sportauto have a test between M3 and RS5 and guess what, the M3 won the comparison. Another M3 victory.
335xi vs RS5. Noway, in Europe M3 is cheaper than a RS5. Both RS5 and M3 is in a different league vs 335i. RS5 was developed to attract buyers who consider a M3.
Perhaps M3 is a better performance car than RS5 afterall.

I know this is way off topic, but don't get me started on the new 5 series. They are transforming this thing into a freaking Lexus. First the x5m and x6m and now this....It's all about business these days. The car is beautiful with plenty of power, but NO THANKS. I test drove both the 535 and 550 with dynamic handling packages (yes I tested it in all settings). Steering feel with the new electric assistance was numb and had little feedback compared with the previous hydraulic setup. The suspension felt more unpredictable with more body roll and the car has become too big. It just didn't feel well balanced. Give me an e60 with a sport package any day. In my opinion, Car and driver was spot on in their review.
