Sorry. I drove an s3 last week and have to say the interior was much better than any 2er I have ever seen. But then again my current F30's interior is much better then the S3 so its what you like in the end. I do like the RS3 interior as well and I do not think it looks like crap like most have commented.
The M2 is a slight notch above the average 2er’s interior, but that’s not saying much if I am honest. It just feels cheap, or low rent as I’ve said before. Not befitting of a $60,000 car at all - when you get into one of these, it’s for performance first and foremost, which I can understand but don’t necessarily agree with.

We all spend 100% of the time we drive inside the car - and the interior absolutely matters to me as a result. The F80 does quite well in this department -especially compared to the F87. It’s a bargain proposition for a reason. I’ve always thought that the comparable Audi or Porsche has the. Upper hand in the interior department - and the RS3 is no different.
