Options the 3er has that S4 doesn't are HUD and apps. The S4 has other not really necessary options like upgraded trim, badges and some lame first aid kit - probably about 1k total.

So really only pricing advantage here is BMW has more incentives (college grad/holiday cash) and the dealer more likely to bargain I suppose (not in my case). Yes, residuals from BMWFS are high, so if leasing the BMW is the sensible choice.

Edit: Included pricing on each.
Right, equally equipped cars cost about the same. +1 on the incentives and bargain room, but also BMW comes with free maintenance.

Can you post a few pictures of your S4 (both exterior and interior)?
