What kept me away from the RS3 is that:
1. You're not getting a discount, and will probably pay a premium. $1500 discount is easy on either BMW's, so yes, the M340 may even be less than an RS3.
2. Very limited production, I was told year wait.
3. Audi reliability. Is it worth the headache? And VW is actually a little worse than Audi.
Yes the depreciation on the on the RS3 may be better, but you're starting off about $12k better with a M240. I do like the looks of the RS3 the best though.

Inline 6 is probably the smoothest engine available other than a V12 (2x inline 6s). It’s just not as compact from a packaging perspective as an I4 or a V8. But you can have V8 power with nearly I4 efficiency. There’s a reason BMW keeps perfecting it and has won so many engine design awards for almost every iteration of it.
