335i vs RS4 convert

Magazine "powercar" had the two cars tested: 335i (5.4 s) and the rs4 convertible (5.3 s). which means: the new rs4 convertible ist not only only just 0.2 sec faster than the present m3 convertible (which is already about six years old, right?) but also it is only just 0.1 s faster than the new 335i, which is from BMW-side not supposed (as in terms of marketing) to be a killer sportscar. The m3 has the name and the marketing-approaches to be a sportscar. do the maths ...
I d say the new m3 will just hunt down the present rs4 (4.8s) by quite a bit!

I believe the latest test of the RS4 by Motorweek resulted in a 0-60 time of 4.2 secs - a second faster than the S4. The best I've read of the 335i time was 4.9 secs. This makes sense with the 120 hp difference. I believe that the new M3 will test in the low 4's - same as the M5.
