I'm not saying that it's a Perfect interior, but it's MUCH nicer than our F30's interior. Both have their plusses and minusses, but I like the Audi's better.

I'm not knocking your opinion or trying to start anything, I just don't agree with you. That's all.

By the way, Audi seats ROCK!

You already know what our F30 interior looks like, but here's what our Ancient S5 interior looks like:

Respectfully disagreeing is healthy

I am actually surprised this thread is still alive, but its good for the guy on the market cross shopping these two

OUCH!

There is nothing worse than an 80's Chevy interior! I know, I once owned a 1985 Corvette.....it was horrible

He was respectfully disagreeing

The new stingray is one sweet ride though. They even did a good job with the interior

i thought the audi a4/a5 interior was better than the e9x but for me the f3x is tops, at least in appearance. i cant believe how some people try to make a big deal about cupholders, i havent thought twice about them. they do their job, they hold drinks and they arent an eye sore or passenger discussion piece.

That's because you're in Germany, and aren't under pressure to pull up to Starbucks so people can see you drive a BMW when you order your double soy extra skinny half caf half decaf latte.

Thanks! I believe that you're right!

I wish that they'd bring that to the States! I'd be jumping off of the BMW ship then, if you know what I mean!

Well I mean a normal S5 has the exact same shape except is 2 doors (which actually looks sexier). If you really need 4 doors then of course there is the S4.

Either way, my point is most pictures don't do the S5 justice. Either look at the pictures i posted (remember no Mods) or see one in real-life!

If the S5 looks better in person then the same logic likely applies to the 4 series, thereby again proving the 4 series is the better car

Yes it's a beautiful car but if owning means. I will be compelled to keep posting pictures of how the doors open with no mods, I will pass.

To guy who keeps posting pictures: we get it, you really like the S5 inside/out. There are some fantastic pictures of F30's if you poke around here. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder yada yada yada...

I have an S5 sitting in our garage right next to our BMW, so I'm familiar with how they look. Our's has got some mods though, just haven't gotten around to installing them.

The A5 Sportback looks like a smaller version of the A7, which I think is one Slick looking car. The S4 doesn't have the sleek profile of the A5 Sportback. It's boxier.

I reserve my opinion on the 4 Series until I see one in person though. It looks like a nice car though.

Sorry for the hi-jack, now back to our regularly scheduled programming!

I prefer the Audi exterior and the BMW interior. However, I own an Audi S5 coupe and soon a BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe as it looks better than the Audi S5 Sportback. I now have a small family and I wanna keep the coupe styling when out with wife and kids. I still have the Audi S5 for my weekend ride.

The Audi has better materials that make up the interior but the B8 has a dated navigation system. I found a remedy for that though in the form of a 8.8" andriod display.
