The elasticity of the S65 is amazing. In every gear and every range the M3 is quicker. Even from way down in higher gears such as 6th, for example, where the RS5 is obliterated by over 4 seconds in an 80-160kph run! The higher the gear and greater the range the greater the discrepancy. All hail the S65 M3. |

When it grows up, will it also want to be an M3 just like the Audi RS5 wants too be? |

I'm a bit surprised at the results, I thought the RS5 was going to be lighter and have more equal weight distribution...not to mention better acceleration. This is Audi's M3 killer, it's not even an equal despite following the M3 to market by three years. I'm actually sorta let down.

I love the M3 - and personally am happy to see the M3 maintain its performance status and personally - I still think it is one of the most understated performance cars available.

They should have tested a manual M3.

M3 vs RS5
Quote:
I can't see dissing the opposition for a good effort that no doubt would be very satisfying to own for most. It's not black or white, but shades of different colors, and what is important in a car ought to be more than numbers on a page, just like your wine selections should not be based purely on review scores. People should use both lobes of the brain. That being said, given the comparative pricing, the choice for the M3 is a no-brainer, unless issues such as dealer access or such come into play.

The two cars are so similar performance wise that it's more of a looks vs. looks and RWD vs. AWD, the choice is not as black and white as M3 vs. ISF.
It's surprising to me that the RS5 is some 400lbs heavier...yet..it's only 1.1s slower at the very fast Hockenheim track. |

RS5 is too sexy!
I don't care about the performance once it pleases me to certain point. It's just like people buying Astons over porsche. Aston might be slower than p car and handles less, but who cares, you buy aston for the look. If I had money, I would get RS5 in heart beat. |

Well since money is not an issue for me I will be making my deposit soon for an RS5. If you dont have the $$$ then you cant have it, plain an simple. Stick with the cheaper alternative (M3).

You're talking on a M3 forum, people on here generally have money to buy cars within M3/RS5 range but only very few are idiotic like you.

WHAT? 335 sound s like a Honda compared to the S4?
Wow I cant agree with that I mean S4 sounds nice, but come on,, 335i is I-6 and S4 is V8. Also I think BMW sounds so much better than audi, A4 < 328i, s5 < 335i, a6 < 535i, s6 < M5, RS5 < M6, TTS < Z4 35i ! |
