I just ordered a new S5... won't be delivered until Sept '13 after my deployment... But other than comparable 'stock' performance, the only reason I didn't get another 335is or to compliment the X5 was the measurements. I wanted a coupe, not a sedan and in the 335 coupe, my head was touching the roof, with the S5 I have plenty of headroom.

As for the comment on not a lot of mods available for the S5, APR has a great tune and S/C pulley Stage II tune, intakes are available for the V6 S/C and APR is releasing a Stg III pkg pretty soon (replacing the S/C)... Giac also has a tune available, so the possibilities are there for this platform as well...

I'm not abandoning BMW, as I will still have the X5 (even if my wife is driving it), but never hurts to sample the other side of the line/
