Default I think the S4 has aged better. Depends what you're looking for.

Convertibles aren't so much about speed. I'd take the better exterior/interior and the V8 of the S4 over the performance of the M3.

Default Depends what you want

Exterior styling--subjective. For me the S4 is classy and the M3 is a bit ghetto.
Interior styling--S4 hands down.
Engine--S4.
Mileage--M3.
Handling--M3.
Rarity--S4.
For me, the all wheel drive is huge, but this vehicle is my ski transportation too.
Drive both and see which wows you.
I would also consider listening to an S4 with fullback aftermarket exhaust from the outside. (Cab if possible, but that is pretty rare). Then imagine that soundtrack all the time with the top down. That sound is not possible in an M3.

The S4 Convertible is a better over-all package.

Default sarcasm...

Sarcasm[A] is stating the opposite of an intended meaning especially in order to sneeringly, slyly, jest or mock a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound. Sarcasm can also be used in a humorous or jesting way depending on the intent of the person speaking.

Was my point!..lol
