The Torque Report

Buyers in Europe have plenty of models to check out if they are in the market for something as awesome as the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. Audi's RS3 is a easy competitor to the 1 Series M Coupe on paper. If you ignore the extra doors and and all-wheel-drive, the two models have similar stats. Auto Express also sees the comparison and decided to pit the two models head to head in a straight out quarter mile race. Who took home the title...

One vehicle takes home the title, but which one would you rather take home?

I can't see the video here at work

I didn't read the fine print and expected a full head-to-head comp, not just a drag race.

I'm pretty evenly torn on these two. The RS3 has a much more useful interior and has AWD. The 1M is much more of a sports car. They're both available in Orange.
I'd have to take each on an extended test drive to make a real decision.

I won't even bother stating which I prefer.
Although the price of either is well outside what I can afford.
