BMW M3 beats out RS4, C55 in three-way comparo

Evo magazine has posted a three-way comparison of the Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG, the Audi RS4 and BMW M3 CS. In the end, reviewer Jethro Bovingdon comes close to picking the RS4, but ends up crowning the M3 the winner. Bovingdon writes: “No surprises then. It comes down to RS4 and M3 CS. After ten minutes behind the wheel the RS4 was my winner. It’s got the looks, the interior, the edge on performance. Forty-eight hours later, the deft balance, awesome adjustability and sheer exuberance of the M3 CS seemed insurmountable. It gives you so many options, and I don’t just mean you can oversteer it all day long (which you can). It has incredible balance, and it’s so responsive to your inputs that you feel intimately involved through every part of every corner. For you and me, that’s what really counts. The M3 is still the all-conquering action hero. Did I mention there’s a new one later this year?” Recently, Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear said he thought the RS4 was better than the M3.

The M3 is my dream car. I can’t wait to trade up my ‘02 325i one day.
