I was reading about such a comparo on Bimmerfest, where most of everyone (for clear reason) sided w/ the 335, saying that it was a more involving drive, cheaper (by what? $5k-??), and has less weight. The Audi only recieved recognition for Quattro, which many say is the only real reason to take an Audi over a BMW (pure fallacy)/ That breif summary aside, what's your guy's take on the two??? One is obviously tipped to be more a performance car than the other, but I believe both offer pretty good bang for the buck (the BMW slightly more so in my book).

Funny I should think about it as I type this, but I've driven both cars, and from my recolection (from driving both the B6 & 7, the former being the one that I liked more, though the '07 is quite nice) AWD was the only defining characteristic of the S4 (thinking of B7 here, I drove the B6 "ages" ago). It's still a great car but there's major room for improvement, and from the looks of it, this is where the RS4 has filled in (hopefully the B8 version will re-write the books some way??). The 335i, IMO, is the better car, it has the S4 licked for handling, though the ride is much the same, and the power delivery (torque) feels much more immedeate (stems from weight).
