i think an S4 would be a much better daily driver then an M3 up her in the northeast. if your not in a rush i would definately wait for the RS4! i didn't even know that car was going to be offered in the states.

And for the record, I do like the new Audi grille. There was an A6 in my side mirror today while I was driving on the parkway and it looked really aggressive coming up on my left. I've seen far uglier front designs.
I'd go with the C55 AMG out of all the cars you picked. You don't see too many of them, and unless you were really pleased with the M3 you have now, why get essentially the same car?

Yeah, it LOOKS good, but I did a comparison, equally equipped, the M45 had a better engine and interior room for 20k less. It was rediculous.
