Larger intercooler and remap - don’t know official gains but most have seen 300bhp on the Dyno. I think you also have to upgrade to the M performance brakes at the same time if you don’t already have the blue M sport brakes.

If you wanted the intercooler as well, that’s an extra £1k on top! |

Guess the answer is to have test drives and see which you prefer but I'd have thought post-discounts a decent spec RS3 could end-up closer on price to an M3 than an M140i? |

It has 4 wheel drive - OP is in scotland and chose awd last time It sounds immense It is insanely fast It has enough space to perform family duties if needed - with kids you never know when both cars have to be decently practical It has a nice quality interior and understated looks - go without too much show did i mention the noise? and the speed? |

Can certainly see the appeal of the RS3 and if the OP is prepared to extend his budget beyond the level of an M140i/Golf R - which it sounds like he might - it's definitely an option worth considering. I know it's not for everyone but personally I like the combination of fast and (relatively!) understated....

Just added another option. After people highlighting 4 wheel drive....wondering now about C43. But MB not known for giving good finance offers on these cars.
