There's around a £10,000 difference between the RS3 and M135i in basic spec, with
Audi's premium three-door hot-hatch priced a smidgen under £40k in the UK and
BMW's sub-M car a fiver under £30k. Veteran auto scribe and video host Chris Harris has a gut feeling that, despite the price discrepency, the little Bimmer can give it to the the Audi in most departments. And after some time spent on road and track, his instincts are proved more than accurate.
