I have a 2008 335xi and I test drove the Audi S4 yesterday. With the sport differential it cornered incredibly and like a rear wheel drive car with a bit of oversteer. Power is close in the S4 but it seems a little better than my BMW N54 engine which is supposed to be more powerful than the current N55 engine. 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds for the S4 is the same as the E90 M3!

I am on the fence on upgrading to the 2013 S4 or 2013 335xi or 335i because in Canada a comparably equipped S4 and 335 are almost the exact same price if not a little lower for the S4 which has the navigation, backup camera, and B&O stereo included in the premium package in 2013 models. I am also not so fond of the new display unit that sits on top of the dash in the new 3 series. The new 3 series does seem to have an additional 1" of leg room for the back seat passengers which comes in handy at times.
