M3 was a massive 5 secs faster than the other 2. Hardly any gap between the Merc and the Audi. But the Audi looked much more tidier and cleaner around the track than the C63 which looked handful even for Stig and way out of shape at almost every turn. And what is worse, it destroyed its tires to the cords. It was faster in a straight line though.
M3: 2.38.9
C63: 2.43.5
RS4: 2.43.9
Here are the videos (from M3 post):

I would take the merc. I wonder what tires the BMW was wearing compared to the competition though as from what most reviews have said there isnt much between the C63 and the M3.

It's a pitty they do not tell. All three have R-tire options and for the sake of comparison they should all have the same.
The only other side by side track test I have seen was the one by Evo and that was performed on a wet track and none of the cars was using r-tires. The result was about the same as here.
