I can easily see people cross shopping the two and trying to make sense of spending extra 25-35k is worth the gain in performance and/or driving pleasure.
Obviously the whole driving aspect is left out. However some folks mostly care about the numbers.
Personally I was curious to see the gap between the two.

When there's little else to do, Matt picks two cars that share nothing similar and races them - content is king I guess. You might as well compare a horse with an emu Matt; pointless really
Really well put - there will definitely be people looking at both, and a well specced M440i could easily breach RS5 pricing.
