Anyways, thanks for PDF'ing the whole article, that was awesome of you. Its concerning that this brand new model from BMW was so handily outperformed by a 7 year old Audi. The same Audi they were clearly targeting when it developed the 4. I actually don't even agree that the BMW looks better.

That said I just ordered a 435 yesterday and coming from an A5 I think I will enjoy the additional power in the V6. Unfortunately I can't wait for the S5 redesign to come out and don't see the sense in getting a car slated to be changed in the next model year.
I agree, BMW better step up their game, the re-design of the Audi's coming up is going to hurt.

I think the review was dead on, its sad that some can not be open to any car being better then the one they own. Are you old enough to own a car???

The S5 is their V6 A5. They have not had an NA V6 in years. No need to when the Turbo 4 outperforms it and gets better mileage at the same time. Why do you think BMW finally changed to a turbo 4, wonder where they got that idea from???

I wouldn't worry about him, I'm sure he says the same thing about the following:

1. Audi R8
2. Lamborghini's
3. Porsche's
4. Bentleys
