Check out this latest comparison. The RS5 is scheduled to hit our shores next year.

 

They are so damn close that it should come down to personal preference every time. I do agree that RWD is a little more "playful" but I still think AWD has a performance edge overall. That could be debated forever though. Certainly in the wet or in the snow the AWD is going to win out hands down.

I've always found BMW interiors to be too "blah"... just... boring... dunno.

That and buying an M3 makes you look like a douchebag. *ducks*

 

True....Getting into my S4 has the feel of a well designed cockpit. On the other hand the BMW is kind of BLAH

 

My German is a little rusty so I didn't understand anything the commentator said.

However, I believe that the BMW is the better drivers car (by a small margin), but the BMW interior is so horrible I'd have to pass on the M3 and go for the RS5

 

can we kick this guy out for blasphemy

 

LOL! ya i would have to agree (joking).
but ya i agree that both are sweet cars to drive on a track and spirited driving. but if you are talking simply about being a daily driver then i would say audi as well based on the fact its a much nicer and feature enriched cockpit. mind you the 2009+ for audi got a much better layout with the nav and mmi.

That video was pretty neat as they just seemed like regular guys with nice cars giving and honest opinion. but i didn't realize the specs on them were so close!
