Default I don't love the comparison of the M3 with the S4/RS4. While engine outputs are similar, they're

designed to fulfill very different roles. The M3 is a coupe, designed to be lighter and more nimble. The RS4 is definitely an Autobahn burner sedan that has some good moves. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Default I think there is a 4 door M3 coming...

and that makes it a valid comparison. I know I think I'd be more interested in the C65 personally. If we're talking street car only. You can't beat torque and ease of driving for street only car in my book.

There is a 4 door M3. Pic is on the BMW website. And you mean C63, right?

Default But still when it comes down to safety and control in all road conditions RS4 takes the lead.

Plus I bet it has better comfort inside.

Default yeah, I guess. I'm not really up on AMG nomenclature...

But for a street only car, nothing beats torque! Well, at least to me.
