We'll have to wait for the comparo's, I'm afraid.

Well the weight was the biggest issue with the RS5, not to take anything away from the M3 but if it had have been only 80kgs heavier then I doubt the M3 would have been quicker in any review/comparison test.
You also have to consider when discussing the RS3 and 1M that one car has any extra gear to play with and doesn't run out of puff as soon, plus has a wider torque band which also runs higher up the rev range, the 1M will need it work it's overboost hard to beat it.
But you are right to say that stats are only one side and how they feel is important, it's here that I think the 1M will entertain the most and be the obvious choice to take to the track but off it and in daily life I reckon the RS3 will be a hard act to follow.
Best bet is to get both.
