What would you choose?

ETA - S4 would be current shape.

RS6 is in a class of it's own compared to an S4 and an M3. Also, which S4?

If I were you I'd edit the OP to go into slightly more detail...

Depends on the driving.

If I didn't need much in the way of practicality I'd likely go for the M3.

M3, correct wheel drive and a proper sporting saloon. RS6 is extremely fat with dampers and gearboxes that like to fall apart. S4 is by all accounts a dynamic turd.

I'd heard about the S4 being a bit meh in the corners yet it beat the M3 on the Top Gear track, what's the crack with that?

E46 M3 every time, after various PHer friends owning fast Audis I would never buy an "S" or "RS" Audi just my personal preferance.

If you are after a drivers car, there is only one on that list IMHO.

(That's not to say the S4 and RS6 aren't good cars)

Heart would say RS6.. that bellowing twin-turbo V8 is just sublime. But knowing they can land you with some hilarious repair bills, head says M3.

RS6 (if you have a deep wallet)

M3 if you want a driver's car
