Nearly got an m2, bought an rs3. People who talk shit on either of these cars are just fanboys, both are awesome machines it’s just that simple
Yeah true...personally I would get the M2 comp because I get good discounts at my local bmw dealership and I reckon as a manual rwd small fast coupe it is pretty much the more exhilerating of the two, but if you have heavy snowfall or have to deal with bad weather for a larger part of the year the rs3 seems to be the more reasonable choice.
Arthur Morgan no doubt about it on track the m2 would obviously win and you would more than likely run into a bit of understeer on the new rs even though it’s no where near as bad as the previous ones, however where I live (north east UK) it rains a lot and is cold a lot, so on our tight, twisty and bumpy country roads there isn’t a lot that could keep up with the likes of rs3’s and a45’s etc, m cars included as they just cannot get their power down
@@lewis2827 I thought that but a recent test showed the rs3 was quicker than the m2 around a track but then again, virtually noone will take either car around a track
Nothing wrong with RS3 is it?
campkira had mine since December 2017, had the odd small issue but love the car
Rs3 for me, family car, fits my 2 kids. Can go beast mode anytime.
Open Ranks ok but since wifey approved cuz it had 4 doors😬.
They should have tested the M140 with RS3 to have logical comparison.
The 2 Series is with the class of Audi TT, Audi A3 is with the 1-Series.
We don’t have the BMW 1-Series in North America.
With my m2c family and lone driver. Versatility is a plus for both.
What an incredible review. I liked the format and specially that neither one of you were passionate about one car or the other.. both were objective... kudos from Mexico City
Gracias amigo! Saludos!
Imo the rs3 just looks so much better. A perfect combination of sportiness and elegance
Guys love both cars, so excited that you are both Έλληνες🇬🇷. Subscribed 👌🏽
Γεια σου Άλεξ!!!!
Great review. Keep up the good work!
Thanks buddy!!!!
RS3 for daily. M2 for fun, so if I only have to have one car it would be the RS3 mainly because of winter driving. RS3 gives me confidence driving all year round
Grexx that’s where you’re wrong, you’re here for a good time so might as well have fun with life and drive a fun car
Ram why buy a car that I can’t really drive all year round. Don’t get me wrong I like the M2 but not practical for my driving specially if I have a small family. I’ve seen these M2s on the lot for as much as $85grand. I paid $72grand on my RS3 otd back in 2017. And I think its bang for the buck between the two. That 5 pot alone is so worth it. Just my Opinion
Grexx I agree with you, RS3 is best all rounder but M2 is so much fun! Tbh I wouldn’t get the competition I’d just get the original m2 for the better sound, remap, lower it and get winter tyres for winter! But saying that love the 5 pot engine and the Audi sunroof and massive exhausts 😂 maybe get the Mrs to get the RS3 🤷🏽♂️
Marvey Singh funny that you mentioned it. It’s actually my wifes car. Time to time I get to drive it. So much power but already wanting to go stage 1 :)
Thats right daily the rs3 mod and rip the m2!
Great video, as someone eyeing an M2 Comp, this was great to watch! Thanks!
You are weary welcome!
Two of my Dream Cars Just looking at them...
Far from sounding like a Lamborghini lol
The best M2C VS RS3 comparison on
TH-cam
Thank you!!!!
Nice reviews! Hellas!
ΟΛΕ!
As a bmw fan I find the rs3 to be simply amazing and it surely fits the bill
- fast
- easy to mod
- light and compact
- amazing sound
M2C all the way, except for the sound.
Espectaculares deportivos. El m2 el auto de mis sueños (junto al m4 cs) y el rs3, uno de los sedanes que mas me gusta..
Good video! I really like your discussion. Its not fake like in most videos:) love the comparison.
Thanks! We really appreciate it!
Yea i really love this channel. Canadians really are busting out the best car content right now, Being a decadent american I am very pleased with canada’s offerings on the car journalist front!
Thanks sir! Feels good to hear you are enjoying the content!
Subscribed. U guys are great 😂👌
Thanks buddy!
Both are amazing cars in their own right, wish I could have both
In that case. Buy both....
4 wheel drive for stop light glory. 2 wheel drive for track glory. As an older guy, I'm not into stoplight antics but taking my M2 up into the mountains for spirited driving is my pleasure now.
M2 Competition is the one for me. Great comparison guys! Canada rocks
Audi the better car you're kust a petrolhead fanboy
@@mohayc8877 go home fucked MORON, bmw ALWAYS ALWAYS FUCK rschits from roll start ftom 20-.........
I sold my 2018 RS3 to get M2 Competition, both great cars but I loved the M2 Comp! More aggressive and feels better to drive
Likely story made up by a bmw fanboy
@@stephenpeacock2627 I've owned a pre facelift rs3 and also swapped to an M2. You can test drive both yourself and you'll understand why.
@@stephenpeacock2627 nope, check my ig @7moodz for proof :D
They’re both superb cars that we’re blessed to have on the market and I’m speaking for most when I say that we’ll be very sad if either of them go.
Danny Murphy yes especially the rs3
great review..got a rs3 for the daily\drag and a civic type R for the track :) never looked back!
Nice!!! And thank you!!!
I really want the RS3 which i think is a really good Daily Driver. Love it.
M2 is such a beautiful car
Both amazing rides but for ten grand less, I'm going with the Audi.
No dont it look like a a3
M2 for me, but I’m biased because I already daily drive an M3
Just wanted to say I appreciate your recognition of your bias :)
Lol same, e92.
Would never even consider the rs3 🤣
F30 335i M sport love these cars
LegendInThaMakin but the RS3 would batter any hatchback their is and is all weather lol,Bmw’s are ugly tho
Jza Gza Im a driver, I don’t need awd to hold my hand for me, never cared for Audi’s or their boring looks.
If I can’t have the m2 I’d rather walk.
both cars are awesome
ΜΠΡΑΒΟ ΡΕ ΜΑΓΚΕΣ ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΟ VIDEO - FROM ATHENS IN GREECE
🇬🇷 Γεια σου Πατρίδα! Ευχαριστούμε πολύ!
Both amazing rides! Love the RWD of the M2 to break it loose on tracks and the "fun" factor.....the RS3 5 cylinder and Quattro is insane with that Launch and 0-60! That sound too! I've always loved and owned BMW and Audi over the years....my current ride is a 2016 Audio S3 Premium Plus. By far the most capable car I have every owned, especially with the modding capabilities.....Stage 1 is a flash and intake and boom, instant respectable gains. Anyway, great review! My S3 is calling me now.......GREAT REVIEW!
Thank you! Enjoy your ride!!
Good video. But... did you use launch control with the m2c when you tested the 0-100?
Yes of course. It was really cold outside and damp, so there was NO Traction whatsoever.
I'd go RS# for a few reasons, even loving the M2.
The RS3 can, and will be, much less of a headache in winters or on bad roads.
The RS3 has an incredible dash able to do hundreds of things, on the fly.
The RS3 will age well, the M2 looks great I agree, however down the line it will go the route of the other mid 2000's overly rounded and angular. The Audi is all flat classy lines, like a 3 piece suit. The M2 is a bro-tank.
The RS3 has a rally bred 5 cylinder that is a marvel of engineering, including a bulletproof torture ready gearbox.
Otherwise, yes the M2 is more "FUN", but life isnt all fun, sometimes you actually need a car with more than one hat trick. Ill take the weather chomping monster known as the RS3.
I think that 5cylinder is going to be a nightmare down the road though as much as I like that rs3
Unno man, Audi’s rarely age well. Literally the only Audi I think still looks good is the first r8
Bmws on the other hand have tons of timeless looking cars people still love today like the e46 m3.
LegendInThaMakin forgetting the sport Quattro?
Couldn’t have explained it better👍🏼
@@jairopavon11 the m2 have no chance against rs3 in a drag race or even track
Man! I would give an arm and a leg, to own both of those beauty's🥰👍
Good luck driving the M2c with 1 leg 1 arm 😂
Lol
What if you could choose 1 ?
😁
Γεια σου Ελλάδα..!! Το πρώτο βίντεο από το κανάλι που έπεσε στην αντίληψη μου, από εδώ και πέρα όμως φανατικός..!! Καλή συνέχεια..!!
Ευχαριστούμε φίλε, χαρά μας να σε έχουμε κοντά μας!
both great cars but RS3 is the winner due to it's versatility
I was looking for a Canadian channel with Canadian pricing and metric calc! Finally stumbled upon this channel, great video guys. Although I drive Mercedes C43, I love M2 and RS3
Thanks and welcome!
Good video and review and agree with all your points on both vehicles. Now here in the states they are the same price so that being said, which would you choose if that was the case when you made this video?
M2 Competition hands down.
Have / had both. Both are awesome cars. The M2C on the outside gets my vote as well as the brakes. But cannot deny what the RS3 can do once modded.
You can easily mod an M2 also
Stage 1 550hp not enough on the m2c? 🤔🤦♀️
@@rskundert good luck putting that power to the ground with only two wheels. Already struggles a bit with the stock power. The Rs3 will put 500WHP into the ground everywhere, all the time.
I love them both
The only reason I would pick the rs3 over the m2 is the awd and ability to accommodate passengers. I went from a 2015 STI to a 2016 F80 M3 with a 6 speed manual and the only thing I miss about my STI is having awd, being able to have instant and claw gripping traction on wet roads, snowy roads and gravel is orgasmic especially when you floor it, you never lose traction. Going to RWD I gotta be very cautious and feather the pedal on those types of road conditions and when I'm driving so gingerly in those conditions I always see STIs flying past me having a hell of a time. That's the only thing I miss about my sti and having an awd performance car.
Good review.. Although unless the Canadian spec RS3 is different to Aussie spec there is a switch for lowering the middle info screen....
Thanks! Yeah here you can only turn it off while driving.
The M2 is a beast
Looking to buy a m2 comp pack. Is it suitable if i wana take it out everyday on the streets of Bangalore. Also wanted to know if the m2 has good ground clearance for it use it here. Your reply will b helpful to me!
Ride height is no problem and can be used as a daily. Fuel consumption is a bit high.
Bought the BMW m235i, Couldnt afford neither of these… It's still a nice lil car ^^
Me, too. I have the X drive M235i with some Dinan goodies added. Roughly 400hp and awd for much less $.
M235i is wicked! Enjoy it!
@@todda9178 Mine is RWD version, pretty much every possible option in it 😎 very solid car!
@@MotorPressReviews Thanks!
Both are amazing cars but working in motorsport as I do I'd go for the Audi, the most effective. 0-100 4.1sec, Quattro, you can corner fast trusting the car, not tensed and with an back that looks better to me
M2 Comp all day baby!! Well, I have a 135i and I love it. I know I would love that M2 Comp as well!!
Had a 135i and just bought the m2c... amazing
Alex Beis
You my friend, are the man!! I’ve been thinking about selling my 135i and buy that M2C.
@6:32 You can get rid of the center display, the switch is right next to the ESC button.
Apples and oranges comparison but M2 for mine with its dynamic ability. If only the RS3 had more presence style wise, the surfaces are simply too flat and lacks aggression to compliment the soundtrack.
What rims are on the Rs3?
*_God_* bless and protect you fam in the Name Of *Jesus*
I love both of these cars. I just think the rs3 is more practical as a daily . Plus awd would be better for the winter. But seems the M2 are more affordable on the used market than the RS3s.
Regular late model M2's are more affordable then a Rs3 due to it being non competition, older and less hp than a Rs3 but the BMW M2 competition that's an altogether new car with more hp than an Rs3, just released a year ago is more expensive than an Audi Rs3 new or used.
Was this filmed in Oakville?
Some parts are in Pickering and some at Mosport.
Juz gimme rs3. Best daily driven. Such a beast sound and spacious. what else do u want? U not gonna spend 24/7 on track tho.
Btw, i love the front of m2 but not the back. I prefer rs3 back.
Definitely wanna focus on the back because you'll be leaving people behind 👍
Worst thing about M2s back is the ballsack hanging from the bottom. Reminds me one of those horny bulldogs that are constantly humping the carpet.
I for one don't want space, 4 doors ruin so much of the car's aesthetic. Coupe all the way, and the RS3 should've been a coupe.
Stian Hegglund and that’s exactly what someone with no friends would say
I’m torn between the two. Bmw has the fun manual and RWD. I have a daily beater so I wouldn’t need the practicality of 4 doors and awd for winter. But the sound of the rs3 is amazing and it would be the only car I have (get rid of beater). Hard to decide between the two. But I would also need to be not broke to decide.
Both solid motors
I love the booster seat in the back seat of the M2, now I know I’m not crazy for wanting to get a coupe with a 5 year old son. I’m getting the M2 next my boy’s gonna love it.
Having kids doesn’t mean life is over :)
MotorPress.ca truer words have never been spoken.
I think it's hard to do a comparison because these are 2 different types of cars.
It all comes down to what type of car you want to drive.
If you want to compare the M2 competition to something, it would be to a M4 or Mustang maybe.
2 doors, RWD, 400~ish horsepower.
Both great cars , personally i would chose the M2 because it looks amazing . The Audi is the better car though for normal road use
Summed it up perfectly. Street car or Track car.
Too much of a handful on bumpy, wet UK roads, just like the M4. Great if you have your own race track and an endless supply of tyres. Not keen on the ball bag at the back, the oversize steering wheel and dated interior - a manual handbrake? Really. But hey, I've driven a couple and they're fantastic cars, but I'd take the current RS3 or TT RS every day of the week over an M2C or I'd spend a few quid more an get a 718 Cayman GTS, which is what I drive. Now THAT's a drivers car! Good review guys.
Thanks!!!!
Love the bimmer and the audi but the greeks did a great job on this show!
Hey, thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed it.
My thoughts, Audi AWD and dual clutch, BMW 2 door and manual. Both have their benefits. I chose the Audi as I prefer the service I get on my previous Audis. I sold my RS5 for the RS3.
Whats the music on begining
RS3 sounds better and way faster from standing start , BMW great on the track .
Its faster because of 4wd look at the new M5 destroying every mercedes and audi because now it also has 4wd.
Dexxon Gaming RS3 isn’t even that much quicker off the line due to lag. Watch the Kenji Lo comparison
@@k9jsb224 K I believe you BMW just make their cars so fast look at the m5 fastets 4 door.
Dexxon Gaming you are also comparing a brand new platform m5 vs last generation Audi’s and merc’s
@@sashaghovanlou8175 Not true the e63s isnt a much of an older car. But ok fine take the gt 4 door63s its newer then the M5 competition but is still a little bit slower then the M5 competition on a drag race and when the M5 competition was on the same tyres as the 4 door it set a 0.2 secs faster lap on the nurburgring.
M2c is nicer 💯
a tough one. I really love the sound of the RS3, but I think the proportions on that car are goofy. I also am not a fan of transverse engines. The M2 is a real driver's car, which I usually prefer, but I just feel it's too impractical without being enough of a sports car.
Guys you show 0-100 as 4.2 sec for the M2 not the verbally stated 5.2 sec. Which is it?
We said that we did 5.2 but the roads were slippery that day due to snow ❄️. So the real number it can do is 4.2.
M2 is another level
The look on the other guy's face when he says "lobe labia" LOL
Is s55 engine reliable?? And what issue with rs3?
S55 is quite reliable as long as you change your oil and filtrers on time. Don't miss maintance and it is highly unlikely to give you trouble. Issues with rs3 usually are connected to tuning a lot of tuned rs3 blow engine in a very spectacular way. You either need a very good tuner who knows this car shit very well or don't tune it at all.
I like your channel guys but the sound quality needs some work.
i will buy both !!
M2 every day of the week, and as you said it “take the Quattro and stick it up your *%#! Nice review!
Thanks!!!
I like Audi
I’ll buy both tbh
E46 M3 owner here. Think I'll just keep it.
What wheels on Audi? Aftermarket?
Yeah it was on some winter package
RS3😍
Why you compare 2 car in straignt line
Not Quattro, it’s haldex. Front wheel biased all wheel drive, hence the front offset tires
The new RS3 haldex is actually heavily reworked and cant be compared to the normal haldex. Yes, its still Haldex but it can send alot more power to the rear, enough that you dont notice any real slip under WOT even in the wet. The reverese staggered setup is mostly to force more oversteer when you track/push it. That in combination with the lighter, reworked 2.5 TFSI unit makes it feel _ALOT_ less understeered compared to previous generations. Its actually pretty well balanced.
The ignition sequence is actually 1-2-5-3-4
nice compare..
Thank you
M2 all the way 🙌
Two entirely different cars, one is a proper drivers car and the other is an Audi!
onkouth one knows how to blink
In europe you can get a loaded M2 Comp for 61.0000€ and the RS3 starts at that price. So here the RS3 is at least 10k more than the M2 Comp. That said, I would pick the M2 Comp all day every day over the RS3.
Where are u from? In Germany its the other way round.
Rs3 55k
M2 62k
Where in Europe?! in the UK the M2C is around £63k and my RS3 was £50k
Brian Ferreira in Greece rs3 it’s more expensive than m2
Was this filmed in Vaughan, ON ??
Pickering, ON
Do you own that m2c? We have a GTA m2/m2c group you can join.
Guys it's not even comparable the m2 competition is a true hardcore car the audi rs3 is a family fast sedans
Nicky Lb with a few Bolton’s the m2 is never going to see the rs3. People have been running low 10’s with intake tune and downpipes
@@sashaghovanlou8175 it's not about straight lines and tune i'm talking straight out of the box
M2, like the M3, C63 AMG, RCF, GSF, RS5, are all over priced by $20k. Go RS3.
M2 for action. Rs3 exhaust sound and on rolling race m2 is faster then rs3 . I'll go m2
Is it real Quattro though or Haldex
Haldex
Love both of these! The $120k USD question: both of these, or an M5 Competition?
Jim Ettamarna M5 for me :)
M5 duh...
Soundcheck? Winner rs3
Nope.
There is no winner because sound is an opinion, there is no better or worse silly.
TTRS would be my pick!
Definitely a RS3 for me, its such a nice car and the sound never gets old Plus it is much more practical for everyday use .
I'm a BMW Fan! But both cars are good allday long
Not sure how you guys got the m2c 0-60 in 5.1 when I have a 228 4cyl twinpowered turbo and my 0-60 is 5.2
We said multiple times that it was freezing cold and the M2C was spinning way too much off the line.
I dont think they knew how to activate launch control. Trust the m2c eith Lc is very quick.
the proble with audi are their prices we are crazy are very high but both cars are pure beasts in their qualities
jon uriarte I mean, you can get an RS3 for less than $60,000...there's literally not another car in that price range that comes even close to the RS3's performance.
Unfortunately the new RS3 is not available in Canada so it looks like I'll be buying an M2 when my lease runs out on my RS3. Giddyup Batman!!!!!!
Audi RS models have a wide body.
Patrida! When I’m watching this I feel like I’m around my GR friends... same jokes, same arguments 😅
