There's no sports suspension for the 335xi - just standard suspension, so the S4 wins hands down.

For me, I'd want an AWD comparison because of variability in weather here... it can be a blizzard in the mountains and 50 degrees and sunny on the front range.

RWD is not a show-stopper, but should the xi be in the comparison?

It can be, but not very fairly. I drove the Xi and S4 back to back within the same hour on the same roads. I drove the S4 second, and never went back to the BMW dealership, just wrote a check at the Audi dealer.

Boy, BMW really has you guys brainwashed that they have better cars, it is amazing how long a reputation can last, "THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE". Just enjoy the S4, it is an awesome car and stop with the BMW envy.

Dude you have to give credit where it is due and the M3 does deserve the ultimate driving machine status when Porsche is not involved. Take the M3 on a track and you will understand. DD I prefer the S4 but M3 is still performance king even beat out the new RS5 in most reviews I have read. Obviously haven't driven a RS5 yet so can't really say outright though.

All this ***** envy is getting tiresome. For most of us (and the car mags), the logical comparison is the 335xi from a price, power, and AWD standpoint......but feel free to form your own opinion. Only you and your ego have to be convinced.
