![]() | Re: Autocar: S5 vs. 335i Well at least it's good to read the E92 is better engineerd and has more finesse Comparing the 335i to the S5 might however be a little bit much engine wise

For me the A5 and 3 series coupe are equally good cars. Each has it's own advantages but none of them has any disadvantage. In other words both are close to perfection (for the size , price and market segment).

I guess they would have to be out of their minds to wait until the M3 to try again but that would be very, very unfair to AUDI. So either way, S5 is a great car.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Autocar: S5 vs. 335i I said this many times before. BMW has really taken this segment to another level with the 335i, which is priced at the same level as the previous 330i. In the past, you needed spend $68-75000 (Cdn dollars) to get a base B6/7 S4, E46 M3, or W203 C55. Now, you can spend around $50000 to get a base 335i and get very close (sometimes slightly superior) levels of performance to those older cars. MB and Audi have NOTHING in their stable to match the 335i's performance in that price range. That's why the 335i is such a good car.....it is excellent value.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Autocar: S5 vs. 335i Actually the G37 might make a nice little competitor for the S5-i would think. And like imhotep said, the 335 se/si would also work quite well if in fact BMW make's that car. I would guess that the S5 would beat the 3 coupe around Nurembourg and however would lose to the bimmer on hockenheim-or at least be very very close. Nice review tho. Two very cool cars!
