Maintenance costs on Audis' are very expensive. It is not to say that BMWs' maintenance cost is cheap; however, there are more parts involved, such as your Quattro, more wear and tear on bushings, more labor intense for the water pump and thermostat, and the timing belt (oops). Do your math on maintenance cost. If money is no object, then go for the S5. But to me, I love the racing history of BMW, and I know what BMW is capable of, and even if I was offered an Audi with more horsepower, and less expensive, I would still purchase a BMW. My heart is in it. Beside, scheduled maintenance is not covered with Audi anymore (last time I heard, anyone can correct me). With BMW, it is 4 years 50k. How could you go wrong with that?
