I agree, EVERYTHING sucks compared to the M3. I drove a Bugatti Veyron, and it felt so slow compared to the M3, and the interior was such crap compared to the M3.

Last week I was on the Autobahn and God pulled up next to me. My M3 handled so much better than God, and outran him easily. The interior of the M3 was much nicer than Gods robe, and the AW was a much better white than Gods beard.

I have never driven an M before and man was I impressed. The car was fast and the engine revving was a fun sound to hear. I also got a chance to drive 3 Ferrari's: 458 Italia, California, and 430 Scuderia. The Italia is simply amazing and the California is a fast convertible. I have a bunch of videos of me driving the Ferrari's if you want me to post them.
Not a comparison to the M3. S5 competes against the 335.

exactly, I actually really liked the S5, as a daily. I've only driven a 6spd, but I liked it. If I were in the market for a 335, I would buy the S5, the interior is far superior and the B&O stereo is phenomenal

+1 and thats why I went for the S4 over the 335 as my daily driver. The S5 would have been nice for its looks but I wanted a 4 door plus I prefer the new V6 supercharger in the S4 and S5 cabrio over the old 4.2 V8 in the S5 coupe.

S5 is not an impressive sports machine to say the least, but it is a gorgeous vehicle with good performance.
