Fellow S4 owners who have driven an M5; would you jump ship if the opportunity arose? Thanks.

Default I can drive both any day.... The m5 is quick, but its still a 4200Lb beast... No where near the

handling capabilities, or the Moding capabilities. They wont auto-x as well, or track as well. They are more expensive to insure, and ours (2000 model, burns oil like crazy, due to the dry sump oil system)

I'd do it in a heartbeat even though I'm faster than a stock M5.

Given the choice of B5 or B6 S4 vs M5 - Yes, and I have a Stage IV 450BHP Biturbo...

Agreed - the M5 is more predictable and really good fun with the back end drifting!
