I have now an E92/07 and had a few cars ago a TSX, pearl white, 6spd with the OEM Aero Kit. Car was awesome.



I swear, to this day, that was the best car I owned - BMW to early to tell yet it's been only 1 month.

In any case, you my friend have a nice fleet. I just hope the reliability goes up from this point on for you.

S5 is a servicable automobile, nothing more. After a 335i, the next logical move is a M3, 911, GTR, etc. The Audi is too heavy.

Yup, TSX is so nice that I dun want to give it up and I still drive it everyday and it is still very strong and smooth.

Everyone have difference priority and taste and not everyone put raw performance as the highest priority. I care more a smooth and comfort sexy ride that able to carry the whole family safely in all weather condition, which S5 fit my style the best. If RS5 has MT than maybe I will go for RS5.

Have the S5 for over 15 mth, other than the CEL on its second days due to bad PDI, it didn't give me any trouble. Both my old E46 & E92 require at least 3 dealer visit every years including even when they were brand new. S5 is heavy when compare to Cayman but it just drive way better than 335i on regular daily use.

Can't argue with the ergonomics of the Audi.

Have you ever own a S with sport diff and set on dynamic mode? Maybe I am not crazy aggressive enough to drive the car on its limit! I dun feel the rwd 335 has any advantage over the heavy quattro. In winter I dun even want to drive the 335 out at all. What the KW give me is rattle and squeak. On the other hand S5 engine & transmission is obviously ahead of 335.

New update on 2105:
replace h&r coilover with PSS10, eurocode swaybar & RS front & rear brake kit. Was originally want to custom paint the caliper to copper or bronze but will stay it as black for a few years until I am bore again.





















Since my daughter just got her driver licence, I am afraid I have to give up 1 of my baby and get an AWD automatic. What a tough decision!
