If you look at the performance figures that it has produced so far, it is very impressive and actually pretty close to some M3 figures. Now granted most people will probably never achieve those figures but the fact is it is attainable. Now a die hard BMW and especially a M3 customer probably would not give the S5 a chance. But then again the S5 might just be good enough or even better when you factor in the $20k discount.

I hope that you realize that for your statement to be true, then an E9x m3 must be $71,000
base, as the S5 has roughly a $51,000 base price right now...
