Look at how many of us here with our brand new F30 experience all kind of embarassing defects/issues/rusty seats, knocking steering racks, cracked trims etc etc.
I totally agree with you I was seriously considering the A5 for a change but the exterior cosmetics did sway more towards The Beemer. Interior wise I still think the Audis and Mercs have a more prestigious feel to it.

The base models of each of those brands didn't appeal to me much either but the RS5 and C63 oh dear ...,
