For anyone considering the two, I'll boil it down. In my humble opinion, the M3 wins everywhere except in looks... which I know is debatable but both are very beautiful cars.
The M3 feels much more exciting and engaging to drive - especially with the 6MT and no nav.
The RS5 is more "cushy" overall and has a lot more bells and whistles than I'd prefer (lane departure warning, front and rear parking sensors, DSG gearbox) and I just don't like the Audi MMI/interface. It's too complicated.
To really have some fun in both cars though you have to push them hard which is hard to do on regular roads with any traffic. I don't do track stuff and I feel like both of these cars are "too much car" most of the time - I have had fun tossing around a 5MT 2.5L VW Passat with a short throw shifter and a tune/intake.
