I personally also think both the exterior and interior look a bit plain but the fact that the rear seats are difficult to access, as the front seats don't slide on tilt is the killer for me! (I have kids and an MPV but they still regularly ride in the e92)

I also think we will see quite a lot of S5's on the roads over the next couple of years - an e92 M Sport is likely be just as exclusive in the UK at least. I've done nearly 2k mile since I got mine last month and haven't seen another one yet!
I really did hope the reviews on this car would be similar to the ones on the 335. In the end it all comes down to a test drive.
