EXACT same reasons for me...great mind's think alike!
I think the new tech in the F30, and how it's very driver's oriented (like the subtle angling of the controls towards the driver) all add to the "ULTIMATE DRIVING" experience...
AND MOST IMPORTANLY: Aftermarket support. M Performance, Dinan, JB, etc. made the difference. For the S4, I found limited options and they were not factory supported NOR as "affordable" as the BMW options...
