Bone stock vs. bone stock the S4 smokes the F30 335i off the line and from a 5mph roll.

Heck the n54 335is smoke the F30 N55 335i.

The F30 335i is not all that much quicker than an F30 328i...

This will change when BMW upgrades the 335i with either the N54 set up in the current E92 335is coupe...or some other set up.

But until BMW really and truly comes out with the next evolution for the 335i (which current F30 335i with N55 is not)....you will not be able to face the S4 at the line with confidence.

That is the test...if you cannot line up with confidence...other "feelings" do not matter.
Number wise the 328i isn't that much slower but it definitely feels much slower when compared to the 335i. I agree with the other guy, the 335i E90 or F30 has this way about it that makes it feel much faster than it really is. The S4 is faster no doubt but it doesn't give you the same sensation..
