Aside from the extra rear space and engine noise, I see no reason the anyone should get an RS3 over a M240i or M2 for the $ (especially the xdrive models that compete more directly in all climates).

People that like to mod the heck out of their cars, and/or take them to the track, and/or this is a weekender and money isn't an issue. I think those are the ppl that'll opt for the RS3/M's. Budget being a "high but not top priority" the M240 was one of the easiest car decisions i've made in a while
