I just went on BMW's website and built an M2 with Exec Pkg and DCT and it comes out to be $57,795 in Alpine White. So if the RS3 is $55,450 then it's actually $2,345 cheaper. I included the Exec Pkg because the Audi does come with Audi Pre Sense Basic and Blind Spot Monitoring to make it more on par equipment wise.

I know and am the first to admit that this is not an apple to apples comparison, but people interested in a BMW M2 will also be interested in an Audi RS3 and even the Merc AMG CLA 45. So just to make the options and specs similar I added the Exec Pkg.
