Default Why are people comparing the S4 to the current M3? (m)

I think a lot of people are comparing the current Audi Line up with the Current BMW line up, and getting the wrong idea. Heres what I mean...

RS4 = M3
S4 = 330
A4 1.8 = 325
TT = Z3
RS6 = M5
A6 4.2 = 540

Mainly on the facotr of the S4 vs the Current M3. I think we should be comparring the RS4 to the M3, where the RS4 is the winner.. Think about price ranges, hp..

Two.. $$$$$$

Then why the S4? Base S4 was $39K base M3 is like $53K? RS4 was $70K? What about HP, 333 to 250?

Default base on a new M3 is like $46K

I think there within about 6K and they were both out in 2001 and 2002 so that makes them comparable.
