So aside from not being able to get a 3.0T A4 (in the US) without the sport seats and available rear diff, they really are fairly interchangeable.
I actually think that Audi has a big opportunity with the B9 chassis to surpass BMW on the sportiness and handling front in this class. The F30 was a small step forward from the E90 and leaves a large opening for Audi to get this next round right. Of course they'll probably make it bigger than the current B8, which will totally remove it from my consideration.

I think the S4 is more like a 335is. More power and DCT. We will have to wait to see when BMW offers an F30 "is" model.
Audi's issue is there is no middle ground between the A4 and S4.
