I own both the E92 M3 and a 2018 RS3. Both are completely different drives.

M3 is definitely the better feeling and enthusiast focused car. It's the car that I always look forward to driving.

The RS3 feels like more of a sporty daily car. I have gotten it to understeer on the backroads I usually take my E92 M3 on. I have also noticed that the steering wheel is a bit too light and doesn't communicate well with what the car is doing. Suspension and transmission are rock solid though. The car also sounds cool, with the low down 5cyl sound, but gets drowned out by the turbo at the higher RPMs.

Overall the RS3 is good, but if you are coming from an E9x M3, you won't be fully satisfied.
