Insideline compares the BMW M3 with the Audi RS4 cab, R8, 911 GT3 and Golf GTI
Insideline did a comparison of cars that aren't really competitors at all. The BMW M3 compared with the Audi RS4 cabriolet instead of saloon, the Audi R8 everyday supercar with the Porsche 911 GT3 track-oriented star and a Volkswagen Golf GTI.
The results are the usual: The Porsche 911 GT3 is clearly the best car to drive and offers thrills and capabilities that the other cars, including the Audi R8 and BMW M3 can't come close to matching.
The BMW M3 could learn a thing or two from Audi RS4 cabriolet about creating luxurious interiors, even though the Audi's interior is a bit dated and the Audi was even the sharper handler which is something you would never have read about the E46 M3 when compared to the RS4 sedan. The BMW M3 was chosen ahead of the Audi RS4 cabriolet only because when in cabriolet form the RS4 loses its rigidity and becomes a much less precise and more wobbly car.
Insideline clearly mentions though that it is probable the RS4 sedan would have had the M3's number and would have been chosen ahead of the BMW and it was BMW who was monitoring Audi's choice of horsepower and engine size when creating its new M3. Audi was clearly not following BMW's blueprints in terms of horsepower and V8 engine size when creating the RS4.
The Audi R8 offers the exotic looks, ergonomic and luxurious interior and everyday driving capabilitites the Porsche 911 GT3 wishes it had. However, the R8 is no match for the GT3 in handling, steering, braking or other key track statistics. The R8 provides an incredible driving experience which inspires confidence behind the wheel and the V10 version will up the heat on the Porsche 911 Turbo even further.
If you want a blast in the mountains the 911 GT3 is clearly the winner of this test. It's capabilities are in another stratosphere when compared to these other brilliant cars. The Gt3 would be your choice if it was only two people travelling, but if you have kids, a holiday weekend worth of stuff and need more than two seats....the M3 was the winner.
Although if there was a proper apples to apples comparison test with the M3 and the RS4 sedan instead of cabriolet it likely would have been the RS4 sedan getting the nod for the family hauler sports car.
It proves Audi has created a wonderful car in the RS4 and the R8 and Porsche continues to create what it is known best for and that would be impeccably balanced and focused sports-cars that can thrill those with budgets short of Ferrari territory.

Without even reading anything, I'd guess that the 911 came out on top.

incidentally InsideLine did NOT say the RS4 outhandled the M3, as GermanNut is misrepresenting. They said the STEERING, specifically directly off center, was better in the Audi. That's been a common statement with most of the reviews of the new M3, that the Servotronic steering (which I'm hoping they make optional when the car is released in the U.S.) is numb off center. They've also said it's great everywhere else, however.
Since we're getting caught up in "apples to apples" with this "comparison", there will also be an M3 sedan. That is "apples to apples" compared to the RS4, even though the M3 sedan will likely be $8k or more less expensive than the RS4 sedan. Regardless the M3 coupe is not the competitor, it'll compete with the RS5. Anyone who is familair with recent 3-series BMW's knows the sedans are more rigid than the coupes and actually handle better. You buy the coupe for style, the sedan for performance. I'm glad to see BMW is bringing back the M3 sedan.

"More disturbing than the stability control was the warning that flashed up on the iDrive screen after just 12 miles of fast driving. Transmission temperature was escalating, so the M5 announced that it was taking matters into its own circuits by reducing engine output. The redline then steadily crept down. And down. By the time we got fed up and pulled over to let it cool, the redline had dropped to 6,000. Apparently the manual transmission just doesn't have the cooling capacity to deal with 500 hp.
Suddenly any notions you might have of flinging the BMW M5 around a local road circuit at a track day turn to vapor. Apparently the Germans are unaware that track days are pretty common in America, and that a BMW M5 driver is just the sort of guy who knows this."

its unfortunate seeing bmw lose its title as best maker of sport coupes and sedans. the audi's rs4, its top-of-the-line, lowest-end model, has consistently beat bmw's most current highest performing models such as the new m5 and new m3. in the insideline comparison, the rs4 beat the m5 due to its sheer involvement despite its poorer numbers. the rs4 was also preferred over the new m3. bmw currently has no other models to compete with audi's lowest model and this considers that audi also has its higher end models such as the rs5, rs6 & rs8. audi must be smiling.
audi currently has all the right ingredients: involvement, performance & luxury.

This isnt news. BMW themselves said that the carryover 6-speed was only because of American demand from drivers to "row their own boat." The manual fails to meet the needs of the new engine. The SMGII was specifically designed for the new M5's engine dynamics and output. It does everything quicker than the old 6 speed from lap times to quatermiles... I understand old farts get caught in nostalgia sometimes but c'mon...

Well, not exactly. You see, these comparos might be great for the automotive community but in terms of pure numbers, they won't sway the buying power of the general populace all that much.
In other words, people will continue to buy the M3 at huge numbers whether one magazine thinks the RS4 is better or not. The negative aspects they mention about the new M3 are really just traits that are more palpable towards the average driver. The models Audi builds that extend upwards are merely halo cars sold in limited numbers, barely cars that will turn the tables on the current state of affairs in this market.
Bottom line, Audi is doing great work in the sports car arena but they seem to be forgetting that their bread and butter is the A4, A3 and so on. If they don't start selling many more of these models, you can say bye this possibly short-lived pool of brilliant sports-cars.
BMW will continue to smile because they still hold the lead by a margin on this market, not to mention others.

Hmm... hen, I don't think anyone sells a $60K sports coupe (M3) in "huge numbers." It may sell more than the RS4 and C-Class AMG, but that's not saying much at all. It is still a halo car, after all.
And what you said about the A3, A4, etc..? All of their "bread-and-butter" cars are superb, some serving for different functions. My A3 2.0T is a riot, with its super-quick transmission and great turbo four. It's quite easily faster than my old A6 2.7T, which, in its time, was fast in its own right. And for $30K! A4 has slightly less fun, but is still a fantastic all-rounder that can carry your friends with comfort and speed, in style. You know the rest.
Audi may not be hugely successful in the US, but they are still improving, and I just don't think the US is their focus right now. I believe they will sell more cars in China than in America this year, and they are still leading in many parts of Europe. It's strange that their sales are so skewed, but that's just the way it is. I'm actually glad my car isn't ubiquitous. I don't care how many cars they sell- there's an element of kinship in owing a nice Audi that just isn't there with an M BMW, because, as you said, they sell in "huge numbers."

You seem to have missed the point S4. Your opinion on the A4 and A3 Audi's is great to hear but not at all on topic. When compared to 3-series sales and general opinion; Audi has some huge catching up to do. The Auto journalists seem to agree because many comparisons either leave out the A4 up against the 3-series, or it fails to hold up when compared.
If you don't believe me here are some examples:
edmunds- 330i vs A4
"Honestly, as wonderful as both cars are, choosing between the two wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. The BMW proved to be superior in nearly every way."
Motortrend-
1st- 330i
2nd- g35
3rd- A4
c&d-
...
4th- Acura TL
5th- A4
And because Audi sells more A4's then any of their other models, they rely strongly on it for a good source of income for their other projects; just like any other car company. If Audi wants to increase their market share then they need to vastly improve the A4 and its market niche. If anything, China will be the best market to sell A4's and A3's, however, a car won't sell if there is clearly a more appealing one for a similar price.

You must know, though, that Audi produces better AWD vehicles than BMW. The A4 2.0T quattro has been lauded as "more fun/sportier" than the 325xi/328xi.
I don't think the A4 is "far behind," as you stated. Keep in mind that it's five years old and will be replaced next year- B8 A4 is coming to Frankfurt in September. It will be one of many that claim to give the 3 Series a run for its money. Who comes out on top remains to be seen.

False.
The edmunds test was about the B7 which was a new 2005 model. As was the MotorTrend test. And the C&D one. As for your idiotic assertion that both MotorTrend and and C&D have a BMW bias, well, you have to have the cognitive ability of a 10 year old to somehow believe this. I don't know how many times I have posted examples of comparisons showing that C&D does like the 3-series but is in to way biased towards the BMW brand. And I don't think they are the first and only to like the 3-series.

Minimalist, the article you referenced is outdated now, as all 2008 M5 sticks now have the updated stability control programming that alleviates all the issues you mentioned. You can also fully defeat the traction control and drive the car as wildly as you want now. And to top it off, all the previous year M5's will have a programming update available in September that accomplishes the same thing for them.

Don't hype up the BMW brand. Use your influence to get BMW to put more rear leg room into its 3- and 5-series, stop charging extra for paint, and install proper side strips to protect doors from parking lot door dings. Oh, I almost forgot, BMW also needs to get rid of that stupid iDrive -- looks to me like they are just too stubborn to admit that the iDrive was a mistake.

I-Drive is a mistake because you think it is? Ask the majority of people who own an I-Drive equipped BMW and they'll tell you how they like I-Drive. Sure its had its fair share of criticism but only from journalists who haven'y had enough time with the car to learn how to use it properly.
And we get it!! You have a fondness for "side strips to protect doors from parking lot door dings", which in todays land of big SUV's don't offer a whole lot of protection.

GermanNut it also proves your starting to sound more & more like a badge whore. You try & sound like your for Audi but not totally biased, but we all know your motives are to indeed make BMW look like it's lost it's way. Blah, blah, the RS4 would have won if it were this or if it had that, Edmunds is such a terrible source.
They don't conduct tests properly, their numbers are always all over the place (Usually very conservative), not to mention these are the same people who said the LS out handles a 7-series & countless other ridiculous remarks alike.
Since a couple of mediocre reviews have been released regarding the M3, certain die hard Audi fans such as yourself have jumped on the opportunity to make it look like the RS4 has shamed the M3.
This is the exact same thing that when on with the S5, poor mediocre reviews at first from nobody's in the auto industry, then miraculously Car & Driver, Motor Trend & so on gave the car great reviews.
Once again this segment is about performance, not driving the kids to school in comfort. You want a fast but more refined 3-series coupe, that’s what the 335i is for. I bought a 650i over an M6 strictly because I wanted to have a car that I could cruise in as well as drive fast. M6 drivers however don’t want that compromise & especially not M3 drivers, which is why the M3 outperforms the RS4 & will most likely win all the upcoming comparo tests from the sources that really matter.

See, though, you're doing the same thing! This is what gets me: your last line. "...from sources that really matter." I'm guessing that your implication is that the sources that "matter" would OBVIOUSLY pick the BMW. Well, sorry, but you're wrong. Five years ago, BMW was in a league of its own. The others couldn't even come close in terms of driving appeal and dynamics.
However, times have changed. It's a toss-up. The RS4 blew the press away with its E46-slaying performance and 911-equalling handling. Not only that, but it didn't sacrifice comfort. The new C63 AMG seems to be doing exactly the same thing. BMW had better get back to the drawing board if they want to stay on top; from what I've read, the answer isn't as clear as it once was. The M3 just isn't that amazing any more. To most drivers, it is; with the C63 and RS4/RS5 looming in its rear view, to those who are educated, it isn't.

it might "blur the lines" between sports car and sedan but isn't that what the RS4 is supposed to do? Lots of sedans do that.
RS4 .88g skidpad, 68.9mph slalom
335i .90g skidpad, 68.7mph slalom
911 Carrera 4S .96g skidpad, 71.5mph slalom
911 Carrera S .98g skidpad, 71.7mph slalom
See the difference between the Porsches and those "line blurring" sport sedans? The RS4, 335i, etc. are great, but at the end of the day they still aren't Porsches, no matter what you tell yourself.

MunichRob, BMW has lost its way. When did you ever read that the E46 M3 suffered from poorer steering directly off-center when compared to the Audi RS4???
It shows that Audi has gained some of BMW's magic for driver involvement, once again is stated of doing a better interpretation of a luxury interior when compared to the M3 and has performance to back up its claims and RS standing.
I just can't help but think BMW won't win all the upcoming comparison tests. Sure, the BMW M3 is sharper than the Audi RS4 as a driver's tool. What the new BMW M3 is not is a raw, performance-oriented driver thrilling machine that outhandles the competition in every which way.
Face it, with the RS4 Audi has brought serious firepower to the segment. BMW was expected to raise the bar even higher just like they did with the E46, but with a V8 engine, added weight and a lack of involvement for the driver....BMW has not succeeded with this new M3 the way it was expected to.
Autoexpress and Autocar have clearly seen that as they placed the RS4 ahead of the M3. Evo magazine which put the BMW M3 in first, did so with only the smallest margin of victory and they explicitly mentioned that it was nothing like the complete walkover the E46 M3 enjoyed over the very same Audi known as the RS4.

Wow. The Audi RS4 is so good, they went and used the RS4 (a sedan) and compared it to the new M3 (a 2-door coupe). It's too bad the RS4 is so expensive. If it were the same price as the new M3, everyone will be an Audi RS4 owner.

They used an RS4 cabriolet. The car is signicantly more expensive than the M3 coupe (about 25K more) and is less rigid and less focused.
Now Insideline does mention that if they used the RS4 sedan, it would have won against the BMW M3.

Fine fair enough, the RS4 has indeed closed the gap to miniscule proportions, but you still can't say it's the better sports car, because it's simply not.
I still don't agree however with your claim that BMW has lost it's way. They've had one major icon failure IMO, & that's the current M5. The new M3 clearly is a better car than the E46, it's faster through the corners, has a more powerful higher revving engine, sounds better & IMO looks better.
To say it is a step backwards is unfair, to say it's a small step forward is more accurate.
I do agree however that BMW didn't live up to the hype with this new M3 as it did with E46. The E46 was a car that almost put the E36 to shame & everyone was expecting history to repeat itself. However there's only so far engineering can take a car that’s equipped with all the modern day luxury goodies, thus the reason for the CSL which I believe will be coming to the States this time around.
What I’m saying is BMW hasn’t lost it’s way, the others are just catching up, everybody’s noticing & applauding them so much for finally doing what BMW’s been doing. Mabye not on the luxury side of the equation, but no doubt on the driving side.

"...the RS4 has indeed closed the gap to miniscule proportions..."
Again, your bias is shining. You're too stubborn! Can't you be a real car guy and accept the truth? When the M3 was better, I knew it. The E46 was a phenomenal machine, one that easily out-handled and out-dragged all of its competition. There were three reasons for why I didn't buy it: the image, the RWD and the engine. The image, you ask? If I had bought it, I would just look like another nondescript 40-50 year old guy in an M3. It's a relatively popular car, and something of a cliché. RWD is obvious. I wanted a car that could get through the winter without any worrying. Engine... the S4's V8 is intoxicating. The inline six couldn't match up- I don't care about the numbers.
Anyway.
I don't know if either of us can say for sure whether the E92 M3 is a better sports car. I don't think you've driven the RS4, and neither of us have driven the new M3, so we can't really compare. To say "it's simply not" is just ridiculous. BMW has taken a small step forward, as you said, but Audi and Mercedes-Benz have both taken giant leaps. Think about it. The only way BMW can go from here is down.

I have to say that this is an interesting "review" from edmunds. It seems to me, reading in between the lines that Audi is becoming a benchmark in sports car. It is known for the benchmark in quality and fit and finish but, I think that soon enough Audi will be the benchmark of the luxury sport import, period. It does semms that BMW is going down hill a little bit as far as sport goes, it seems also that Porsche has lost a little bit of its edge, with the Turbo too. Too soft, too civilized, could it be because of the american market and its drivers? Is marketing building the cars now? Can we assume Audi is not listening the marketing guys, because the US is not that important and they built their cars the way they want them to be, the engineers, the haptic team, the designers build Audis, not the marketing boys and not the pennies counters.

S4 regularly I'm not so stubborn, on this subject, maybe a little. I will be a real car guy however & stick with the M3, because while some have said the RS4's the better car, they haven't said it's the better athlete. As far as I'm concerned that's the winning factor in this segment.
So your right I shouldn't say the M3 is simply the better sports car, but I will say from what I've seen & heard, it does have the edge on the performance side of things. The M3 posted RS4 like numbers in the C&D test which was done under wet conditions.
As far as pure driving pleasure goes on a track, Mercedes is still a little ways off, I don't think they're trying to outdo BMW at what they do like Audi is.
So I've thought about it, & I don't see how down is the only way BMW can go from here.

"Bad?" I don't think the previous RS4, nor the C55 AMG, were "bad" cars. Neither handled as well as the M3, I'll give you that. I can see where you're coming from (huge % increases mean nothing with small sales from the start), but the two current sedans from Ingolstadt and Stuttgart seem to be every bit as good as the new M3. The RS4 and C63 AMG have received rave reviews, but sadly enough, M3's have been underwhelming. I don't know if it's just "relatively" underwhelming or not, but considering how good the 335i coupe is to drive, the M3 should be more impressive. Now, it seems to be an also-ran.
