Hmm this is very odd to compare the 335i to the S4, yet it seems about right.

We all know that BMW does not have a quattro system that Audi that weighs a lot, also it will not deliver power instantly as the tranny on the 335i. I think this should be expected. Without reading the thing, I assumed that the 335i would have about the same 0-60 time as the S4. The S4 is a great car, dont' get me wrong, but it is not tuned like the RS4 for example which delivers quick power on demand and without hesitation. The S4 is heavy and even though it may not be that much heavier it is pretty heaver for a car that has to manage an awd system that is pretty hefty itself.

I think the 335i is going to be a great car, but it is a new car. New cars are always more powerful. The next generation S4 should definitely out do the 335i. Things are only getting better
