BMW M 240 vs RS3 8Y
BMW M240i xDrive and Audi RS 3 Sedan Set Identical Lap Times Around Hockenheim
Where would your money go if you wanted to add one to the garage?www.zero2turbo.com

Must be something going on as same time yet heavier and less power is breaking the laws of physics.I do find it impressive that the BMW managed an almost identical time with less power and more weight. They did make special note that they think it was on the superior tyre but no idea how much faster it would be in reality. Good showing from them both.

Got bored before the RS3 finished its lap who won this pointless match ....lol
How do you figure the M240i has the better interior? Because motor journalists told you? I have been in both the M135i and S3 8Y one after the other for 24 hours test drives. Contrary to what motor journalists told me the S3 had the better interior. The motor journalist world has always been very biased to BMW! Test drive both yourself then make an assessment don't rely on other people's opinions.And of course the BMW 240i has the better interior That's the thing with quarter/half mile times etc etc are for Tubers viewing numbers £££££ owning/using/paying for the car as a daily is a world apart from Draggy stop watching youtubers....loads of back slapping going on ...in here ???
Add to that Audi's...deplorable/diabolical customer's ordering service.........

The M135i buttons and screens aren't as good quality as the S3. They don't go as bright and are certainly not as sharp. The seats aren't as good and the nappa leather with the diamond stitching just feels classier than the leather you find in the M135i. Both have low down scratchy plastics. The arm rest in the M135i isn't damped when you put it up and back down, it just slams down like something really poor quality. The internal door handles in the M135i feel cheap. The interior ambient lights in the M135i are of a much lower quality than what you find in this S3. The gear stick feels cheap and what really annoyed me what the Hill hold assist - In the M135i you had to slam the brake hard for it to one in the S3 it's effortless. I'd say the only thing that was better in the M135i was the carpets and the M stitching on the seat belts. Everything else you touch and feel is just so much better in the S3.I’ll definitely second that. I have a friend with an M135i and although it’s a good interior I definitely wouldn’t say that it’s much, if any, better than the RS3.
On my test drive as soon as I put it in RS Performance mode and started having fun I forgot all about the interior being almost identical to a normal A3. And for me, that’s one of the reasons I still want the car because I find the drive fun. Would a more exciting interior be preferable? Absolutely. Is it what the car is about though? I’d argue not.

I love my M2 (current car) it just scares the crap out of me in the wet or damp conditions! Hell even on a dry day it can go pear shaped - just the other day I was "having a play" on a perfectly dry road and it nearly put me in the ditch!don’t John……..you’ll get everyone cancelling orders.

Great thread, nice to finally hear some reviews.
Ordered a SB Daytona Vorsprung but still debating a change to Carbon because of that ridiculous steering wheel !
Well for a start the new 240im interior is based on the new 3 series not the 1 series that's why it's interior is better l have driven mostly every performance bmw in the last few years....as my son was a manager for BMW...so your presumption of where my opinion comes from is wrongHow do you figure the M240i has the better interior?

Some rant that mate but on a lighter note as long as your happy with your S3 that's all that matters ....l think you've gotten a little confused with the 1 series and the new 2 series they're built on different platforms....ergo the 2 series has a 3 series interiorThe M135i buttons and screens aren't as good quality as the S3.

I don’t know what’s different between the 1, 2 and 3 series specifically, but the 3 certainly feels a lot more premium than the 2 when you sit in them back to back. Just wouldn’t be able to tell you exactly what the differences are.
I still like the Audi interior better, but I agree for the car you’re buying it could definitely be made to feel a bit more special from factory.

Comp yes. TC / sport / mdm is very good tbf I'm just not a great driver!Is it a comp?
I found non comp was going to kill me at any minute whereas the comp was more linear and punished you only if you took the pi@s.
That depends on what you prioritise the most ....interior or exterior....BMW's interior wins Audi's exterior on the saloon wins but the sportback just looks a bit ungainly too heavy at the front....in proportion to the rear....Also dependant on how familiar you are with audis virtual cockpit ....you won't beThe design of the new 3er dials ruins it for me… prefer the dials in the wife’s 9 year old 1er - classic bmw dials
Prefer the leather in the audi over the bmw leather.
Neither bmw/audi interior is good/bad enough to make me chose one car over the other
