Agreed this is a nice looking car. The wheels are particularly nice!

Driving dynamics keep me loyal to BMW's though and it's interesting to see Audi move from a complicated dash (instrument panel) to a very simple clean-line dash as BMW has been doing since mid 2000's. This is a look I prefer.

I am looking forward to comparing production photos of the S3 pictured (with the extras as Scott26 mentioned) to a production M235i convertible with M-Performance parts - that should be a very close contest!
I just been playing a bit on the audi german car configurator. very tempting and price not much different. audi engine sounds like a fart and yes rwd will make a difference always but the audi has near 50:50 weight, build quality i think everyone can agree is a class above the bimmer - interior 4 me at least the audi by miles - and exterior even the panel gaps are better sorted than in the bmw. looks are always subjective but those wheels. my god those are pure sex compared to the bmw's. I love that detail of the Alu A pilar and did I mention the interior?
