Let me tell you that both E92 M3 and RS5 have similar character. Both rev to 8,500 rpm, the sound of the engine is almost exotic, and yes, the RS5 oversteers when pushed.
As for which one is faster, the RS5 is a bit faster overall. Take off and slow corners, no contest, RS5 is much faster thanks to awd. Straight line they are equal.
There was one guy with M3 trying to race me, on straight line he couldn't pass me nor I couldn't shake him off. But at the first slow corner, a 90 degree one, I disappeared into the distance.
Both are wonderful machines, I enjoyed the M3 as much as I enjoy now the RS5.
