Funny thing about color....Audi offers Estoril Blue. Id take the Audi all day. I can't get used to that new BMW interior. Too many weird shapes for me and the MMI looks like an afterthought again. BMW exterior now looks pretty sharp compared to e90 (aaaaahhhh that was bad). With Audi diff option you can get the car sideways like an rwd car. I steered one around an off ramp with my right foot.....pretty cool for awd. Both amazing cars though.

In respect of sound the S4 has 3 modes of sound, the most loud is the dynamic mode. It should pretty much even out any sound differences one may perceive between the 335i and the S4. The dynamic mode sound is achieved through the cars speakers however unlike the M5 which directs actual car sounds to the speakers, the S4 uses pre recordings but it works out very well.
I test drove the S4 twice but one look at the EB2 335i was all she wrote

You are confusing E92 with EB2, the color

Also you can't take a FWD car engine and mount it to an AWD car so the engines aren't even the same. A4 2.0T engine is not the same as a 2.0T engine from VW. Most of the parts from VW, Audi, BMW, and Merc are all made from the same suppliers anyways. So you can think that your BMW is superior but in reality it is made from parts from same suppliers as VW/Audi. I guess Porsche, Lambo, and Bentley are also just VW's. If you still want to think that Audi is a VW than the BMW will just be a Toyota since they will be sharing parts later on with the co-operation in sharing technologies. |

Audi is also developing its own platform that it shares with the VW group, as a VW subsidiary. The 2.0T is one of the most ubiquitous engine in the VW group galaxy. It's in the the GTI, the Jetta, the Passat I think, the CC, a few Skodas and some Seats, not to mention the A3, A4, A5, A6 and perhaps even A7. Quote:
Audi and BMW famously both use the ZF 8 speed across their line-ups. Quote:
But the "same suppliers" story is different. They manufacture parts designed either by BMW or by an independent supplier. Audi or Merc had nothing to do with that. |

Different car than you are asking about: I was set on an A5 as my next vehicle, until I test drove it. The dealer asked me to test an A4, which was so-so. My fiancé was surprised when I came home PO'd. My 335i arrives on 2/6 and I couldn't be happier.

Drove the S4 today, awesome car. Seats not having side bolsters was odd. BMW steering I like better, but I really liked the S4. I had driven it before, but not long enough to really test it out. I took it by myself and hit the freeways and twisties. I was really surprised how it grew on me. I even did some driving that wouldmbe daily 35mph parking lots, etc....The steering is light, clutch a little long as well, but it handles and it is fast, I had dismissed it before, but I really needed more time just to get used to it. I drive the F30 again tomorrow. I may pull the trigger on the Audi we will see.

There are plenty of shared components and parts. The vw 2.0tsi and Audi 2.0tfsi mainly differ in the head where Audi uses valve lift or whatever they call it which explains the power difference. The blocks may be identical, it's the head up that is different. I have been out of the vw tsi tuning game for a bit, but pretty sure that is the key between the two.

What bothers me is the incorrect information that people state as facts without doing the research. CVT A4 are almost non existent in North America. Quote:
The key is how timely they fix the problems. Both Audi and BMW had taken way too long in fixing the hpfp and the coil problems IMO. |

I think it really depends on where you live. Here in SoCal, there are hardly any a4 Quattro's yet alone many S4's. The 3 series are readily available.
AWD is really pointless in here unless you go skiing all the time. Therefore, most Audi's here are FWD. I don't really consider it an Audi unless it's a Quattro. Also, isn't he S4 supercharged vs the 335i's turbocharged? |
