Asport as you like to constantly tell us the RS3 can be matched by a mapped/tuned S3, then I guess the M2 can/will be matched by a mapped/tuned 235i?? After all, their engines are basically the same...
At least the RS3 has a USP, which is not just a set of big bumpers and spoilers ; -)
It's almost as if it were written by a BMW fanboyI like the RS3 display, 7" but actually shows the standard 5.5".

TX.
Why are you on here do you even have an Audi!!!!!!!Sure, but M2 and RS3 can be tuned too. We will see TTRS official upgrade in next months.

I'm in many places . Here because I like RS3, it was my 2nd choice, and still want to see future changes.
My M2 is coming in April! Guaranteed. They are so sure of the date, which are included in the contract.
I had an unique and great arrangement with the dealer.
The BM interior is just hideous - there is so much going on, just terrible !
No flat bottom steering wheel either.
If I had to look at that interior every time I drove the car, it would drive me nuts.
BMW interior & exterior styling is just WAY TOO OTT for me.
I just don't see the attraction at all.
It looks very ... bmw.
Steering wheel without flat bottom is probably not so nice but more useful for normal driving.
This M Performance part is not full flat but looks really nice, is my favorite steering wheel. With that blue detail, alcantara and carbon fiber match perfectly for M2 (is designed for it).

I have literally ignored this asport guy, I hope it means his posts won't show up. Completely pointless him being on the forum? It's like me joining the M2 forum because I think the Rs3 is a better car lol? Ridiculous.

I think also M2 guys have many things to prove for themselves for instance 4,3 0-100 with rearwheel drive isn't as simply as quattro and fuel consumption should be a nightmare comparing to other M models which is sucking up fuel like camels. I tested M235I earlier and its not easy to floor it with rwd and get a good run, not to burn tires.... this M2 shouldn't be easier.
RWD are difficult to drive than AWD, you can't floor all times and you need to calibrate throttle power and steering, that's one of factor that makes driving RWD more fun and addictive. Active differential, 100% power at back, front wheels just for steering... is another driving style with a well weight balanced car (just check the sizes of the front brakes and a rear in a RS3 .. and watch those of a M2).
About fuel, N55 engine is very well optimized and used in multiple models, averages will be similar or probably a little better than RS3.
For that kind of weather RS3 it is better, but with crazy driving both can crash, AWD isn't crash free... with safe driving both are very secure.
Fuel usage will be similar, that 5-cyl is also very powerful and hungry. Many horses to feed
He was not to smart comparing to how other drivers was drivin on ice or black ice. Of course every car has their limits but awd, fourwheeldrive, quattro, x-drive or whatever we call it is faster in start and cornering because more grip and you can feel it very clearly even on dry tarmac, car is flying with quattro and with rwd you have to spin and loose time all the time.
You can't drive a RWD car in same way than AWD.
Watch after 6:40 with a driver.. checks times, and that is just a M235i, not M2.

For M235i averages are better than RS3 (more power too).
He probably was thinking his quattro could go faster under any conditions, and finished flying... against a tree.
A false sense of security is very dangerous.

M Suspension, wheels size, and active M Differential can give better agility, handling, traction and cornering than RS3 quattro? we will see @ track times.
New C63 and C63 S AMG are RWD or 4MATIC?
New A45 FL has just had its first head to head with the RS3 and the RS3 was ever so slightly ahead in the straight line although times for both were quite slow, the FL A45 easily beat the RS3 on track and in a minute and half a lap was 2 seconds faster than the pre faclift. The M2 is being built as the ultimate handler in the sector so if its faster than the FL A45 round a track it must handle ****** well
