....................... and then this looking sinister like that?


granted BMW would handle better, id rather opt to get this as an all round superior package on wheels... flawless precision in engineering, build quality and craftsmanship inside and out, materials, aethetics, physical appeal, superb handling dynamics, and more of a luxury performance executive coupe that just beckons to be in my garage..

One of the few Audi's whose styling I kinda like... but it's still overweight and overpriced.

Here is one with some multispoke wheels. DOnt know what they are, but your car is looking excellent.

Hey, that's a normal A5 with the sports package it seems. Looks exactly like the S5.

The Audi has the rarity factor, compared to the 335i. And it looks great and fresh. I know the S5 is way more expensive than the 335i but if I were spending the money, I would make the stretch for it.

Definitely better than the CLK, anyway.

Np, but I think it'd be more fair to compare the S5 to the M3. From a tuner POV, the 335i looks like a better package to me. From a looks point of view, it may be the S5. Those of you that harp on German reliability/maintenance must realize the BMW comes with both of those free until 4yrs/50k miles.

I dont agree..in all fairness and honesty - yes i agree the comparison between the S5 and 335i isnt rational...

but the S5 should be compared against like a CLS, or a 6 series bmw...it exudes quality, and beauty of an upscale luxurious performance executive coupe.

and then when you look at its price versus those other 2 - its a steal of a value.
