To the poster that asked about the S5 being faster than the 335i coupe, there was a track test on the show Fifth Gear, and they are almost identical, though the BMW won by a hair, if you ran the race for 10 laps and changed drivers, it would be a toss up most likely. I think Audi should of aimed a tad higher to sandwich its performance between the 335i and M3. But its AWD, a feature thats heavy in comparison, but also more everyday driveability and ease of pushing its limits with a tad more security, which is a good thing...
