There are many reasons to prefer BMW over an Audi S...
1) Price. Belive or not Audi is cheaper only on its base offering with literery nothing included.
2) Audi has no real quattro in its small cars. Not any more. Its quattro-ultra (esencially couple of haldex-like units) and just haldex, depending on the engine mounting.So it is an xdrive 2 series vs a haldex based s3. Same tech, approx same power and probably same performance.
3) Audi and VAG has reputational losses this days - there in US it is a dieselgate, while here it is a weak engines (ea888 burns oil) and weak, unreliable DSG gearboxes (dq200 is shit, dq250 had multiple problems, dq500 is relatively reliable, but differential is weak).
