Lol , A5 is a copy of 3 series coupe according to Klier. BMW invented the coupe? Next thing we are gonna hear is that they invented fire (remember "flame surfacing"?).

Anyway back to the topic , the red leather in the BMW looks horrible. It's more like red plastic.

I also don't like that blue color of the A5.

LOL. Very funny.
I have to say though- I hate red leather, and red interiors, there is something about both of them that fails to stimulate my sense of admiration.
Now a red exterior- very nice..

You forgot to add that Audis success is only because they are copying BMW. Whatever they do, BMW have done before.

i seriously wanna buy the S5 but i cant justify it ..
no.1 its DAMN expensive atleast 50K euro..thats the least i could find it for..
and for that money it has to low power

no 2.. the RS5 will be the shit.. but heck i cant afford that..

PS
I guess its back to the trusty star then..when i get rid of my C class by the end of this year..

I hate to repeat myself but here is my view on A5 and E92.

I seen a grey S5 and it looks stunning but I also seen A5 3.0TDi silver and the car looks dull. A5 need the S5 kit to impress me. With the right colour the A5 can look very good and its the same case with 3er Coupé.

My conclusion is both look good and neither of them are ugly so it comes down to personal preferences which one you choose.

It's not even close in the looks department imo! From a distance the 3-Series looks like the 6-Series but better, none the less it doesn't feel as special as the A5!

The 3er is a good looker, it's hard for me to find fault with other than the fact that the shut line around the front of the car isn't as tight as it should be. The A5 looks good no matter the angle, I just wish it had a bit more length in the hood and a shorter front overhang. The interiors of these two? No contest, the Audi wins hands down and would most definitely be the place I'd like to spend my time, if I'm in the mood. The 3er coupe on the other hand will more than make up for the plane jane character of it's interior design in the way it goes and handles.

That's actually not how it looks in real life. It's not that bright. That color and terra leather is almost impossible to capture with a camera.

I'll gladly take the 3er... especially with that TT engine. That wasn't that hard of a choice fo rme.
