All of these will boast higher HP, Torque and possibly acceleration numbers higher than the M3 with comparable pricing. What is the M3's edge besides brand loyalty and possibly weight?
Thanks!

Very hard to say when one car has only been driven by a few journalists while the other has not been made yet.
Besides brand loyalty and weight, things like steering feel, brake feel and overall handing are things that define an experience. One of the biggest advantages BMW has over Mercedes right now is not only the option for a manual gearbox but also the DCT gearbox which is about the best on the market. No matter the price point (see SLS) AMG have really struggled to match their impressive engines with a gearbox of equal stature.
Easy to answer for the M3 vs the the ISF and RS4; less fuel consumption, more fun to drive, and faster.
