I'm hoping to be living in a warmer climate where AWD isn't "as necessary", so should be a great fight for my $$$.

I agree...the torque vectoring is great however it does still understeer more than I'd like; still the sports diff does give you more RWD-like characteristics. I love the awd in bad weather however this winter was pretty tame so I didn't get to enjoy its full potential. I'm loving the F80 so far and have been watching the news releases like a hawk. The reason I like the B8 RS5 is because the engine is a screamer V8 like the current M3. The interior is pretty much exactly the same as my S4 so no difference there. If both are going back to 6's next go-around, I'll most likely go with the M.
