My wife and I test drove a 2013 S4 and 2013 335 Msport back-to-back today, about 15 minutes apart between drives. Both automatics. Drove the S4 in Dynamic mode (also tried the Auto mode) and the 335 in Sport (dealer asked us not to go to Sport+). Drove the same route with both cars. As optioned, the S4 cost $1000 more. The was only ONE thing that the S4 did that I liked better: Turn signal stalk is traditional versus BMW's stupid over-thought dual mode stalk.

Don't get me wrong, there was nothing that I hated in the S4. It's a nice car. Very fast. Handles nicely. But I just found it bland. Kinda boring to look at and just uninspiring to drive. And I was the kind one. Here's my wife's take: "The S4 is so far off the table, it's crashed and burning on the floor, in a corner."
