Should I swap my BMW 3-Series 1.8 for an Audi S3?

I currently own a BMW 3-Series 1.8 F30 M Sport diesel which is great on fuel but I fancy an Audi S3 instead. What should I do?

An S3 is a very quick 150mph + car and quick on corners if driven properly by tucking it in to the apex and accelerating hard. If you lift off in a corner it understeers strongly. Forget mpg. You'll be looking at about 30mpg.
