I do think Audi is playing their cards well though, they were starting to get awfully close to the E90 in comparison tests, and while they gave up a little ground with the F30 arriving, I bet the B9 A4/S4 moves a step ahead of the F30 and has a few years of dominance over BMW until the next 3er arrives.

I'm not sure about that years of dominance thing. Keep in mind that the F30 LCI will be due shortly after the new Audi comes out. Looking at recent BMW LCI changes like the X5 LCI which changed transmissions from 6 to 8 among other mechanical changes, don't be surprised if thats where BMW changes or upgrades power in the F30 among other things. The N54 lasted 4 years in the 335, the N55 will probably be coming up on that around LCI time.
