I do, every time. I hear about these warped rotors, but I've never had 'em.
I wouldn't set the p-brake after an autocross or track session, sure, but for street driving? Absolutely.

I have a 335i for many reasons...
I need four door for kid access in rear..my kids are age 17, 14, and 14. I have no issues with car seats and toddlers.
I went off the Audi train for the 335i..I had SEVEN Audis before this...doesnt mean I am gone for ever. I am just trying to plan my future..and it looks like the S5 may not be ideal for me and my situation.
It is a nice car..and when Jason at StaSIS lets me play with theirs for a few days..I will have more info to report.

S5 is longer and wider than your 335 sedan so that might cause you to think it's also heavier...
and don't forget it's AWD, so it's going to handle different (the slight understeer might also cause the perception of more mass). My other cars were 911's, so at first it was a big adjustment in handling dynamics, I would say the car felt heavy even, but after driving it for 4 months, I wouldn't say that anymore.
